Captain Richard Phillips, the courageous captain that has been help hostage by pirates on a small lifeboat, has reportedly been freed and is unharmed. Sources indicate that three of the pirates were killed and one was wonded and then taken into custody by the U.S. Navy.
Apparently this week’s swift and forceful reaction from the White House didn’t have much impact in Pirateland as another U.S. vessel has been captured. This time an American owned tugboat with a predominately Italian crew has been hijacked by pirates off the coast of Somalia.
No word yet if President Obama is monitoring the situation.
In a world full on constant change, nothing is certain. Hang on. Should be a fun ride.
