More Piracy

I don't actually have time to comment on this article, but I just want to assert that the pirate issue is far from settled. It appears (from the first paragraph of the linked-to article) that, having overcome partisanship to elect Senator Obama in a near-landslide electoral victory, a new division has sprung up to replace the old in the Great American Dialog. That, of course, is the issue of how to properly punish pirates.

More on this after I actually read the article.
