ARG! Somali pirate A pack of mercenaries in Somalia—understand, these good sorts of mercenaries often function as that very poor country's Coast Guard—got into a shootout with some marauding pirates, rescuing 13 Indians whose boat had been hijacked. They also took as their own booty four of the pirates; four others escaped, perhaps vowing more pirating from where that came. (The rescue sounds pretty good to us—only are these captured pirates now going to be rehabilitated and in time become part of the good militia the same way they might do on Celebrity Rehab or something? Maybe they'll just kill them?)
