    The govermment had been weighing whether to bring the suspect to trial in the United States or hand him over to authorities in Kenya, which has an agreement to prosecute pirates.

      Bring him to the US.

      Locky can be the judge;

      Libsr can be the jury and

      prophypocrite can be the executioner.

      They're the only ones who know how to deal with pirates and terrorists anyway.

        I don't believe in the death sentence for most cases. But there are some that warrant it, like terror bombing.
        High seas piracy ranks right up there.
        The pirates of old were executed in 2 places in New York City - one was the Battery, which is the revolutionary war era fort at the end of Manhatten & the other is at Execution Rock, a tiny island where the Long Island Sound meets the East River.
        I think both these spots would be ideal for the Somali pirate to spend his final hours.

          The pirate is likely under the age of 18. Was he read his rights when he was arrested? Is he being tried as a crimanal offender? Was he manhandled? Is there an evidence chain? Is he poor and lacking other options in life?

          This guy is on the path to American citizenship.

          But if he was taken back to Keyna, are we sure he would be taken to trial? or is it our dutie to take him to trial here in the US? I have read so many different opions I am confused.
