Somali pirates holding a freighter captain hostage are receiving reinforcements by way of other pirated ships rushing to the scene with a cargo of human shields of their own. This, as the USS Bainbridge surrounds the drifting lifeboat in an attempt to force the bandits to give up the standoff.
General Petraeus has indicated that other US warships will be arriving on the scene shortly, including the guided missile frigate USS Halyburton. Halyburton?! I knew Dick Cheney’s bloody hands were all over this somehow!!
