Really bad eggs

The pirates of Somalia continued to do brisk business having released a Thai ship after receiving a ransom and taken another South Korean ship. But there is some evidence that the days of taking prizes may be numbered. The Somali pirates may still be holding a Ukrainian vessel. That weapons-laden ship of fools is surrounded by the United States Navy and not going much of any where. The UN has sanctioned a NATO anti-piracy operation off the Somali coast that has the full backing of Somali Prime Minister Nur Hassan Hussein, something that quite likely would not have happened if the pirates hadn't taken the Ukrainian vessel. Indeed, even India is now responding to the problem and deploying one vessel now with the option of sending more later. For now business is good, but without Jack Sparrow to lead them, it may only a matter of time before the world sinks this production at the box office.
