[Signs of the Times] Signs of the Times News for Wed, 15 Apr 2009: In the mid-18th century, a small village was built here, in the lower Persian Gulf, where people would dive for pearls off the coast. It soon began to accumulate a cosmopolitan population washing up from Persia, the Indian subcontinent, and other Arab countries, all hoping to make their fortune.

[Emptywheel] Emptywheel » Yo Ho Yo Ho, It’s The Risk Management Life For Thee: One could almost say that ignoring this activity in an area of sea the size of Texas, but astride the major route to the Persian Gulf is another calamitous consequence of George and Big Dick’s “diplomacy”, in that they’ve exhausted the world’s attention and resources, and shoved a stick in the eye of the diplomatic resources one would need to do to coordinate a response to both kinds of piracy - the Somali’s and the foreign opportunists’.

[Spoutingoff's Blog] Delusional Dubai: The Mesopotamians from 5000 years ago would have been so proud.  Also, the hotel includes a mile-plus long stream that meanders through and under shark-filled aquaria.  One aquarium on site contains nearly 3 million gallons.  And no Atlantis Hotel would be complete without a Dolphin Encounter.  No word yet on whether the resident dolphins are from the infamous Taiji Cove.

[Cake Eater Chronicles] Overreaction | Cake Eater Chronicles: What we have here is a complete overreaction on the part of ye three-month-old Obama administration in regards to the attempted hijacking of the Maersk Alabama and the taking of the ship's master.  While I sincerely hope that sending in the USS Bainbridge and FBI hostage negotiators helps to secure the master's release, these actions strike me as a complete overreaction to the overall threat of Somali piracy---and it's one that I sincerely hope that this is one course of action other countries choose not to use in the future.

[Chicago Boyz] Chicago Boyz » Blog Archive » A Vacuum of Will: Half of the polity now argues that unlawful and inhumane tactics merely represent the desperation of the justified underdog instead of the callousness of the cruel and greedy. In such a moral environment, those who must fight and apprehend pirates understand that they will face far harsher judgment, with far less presumption of innocence, than will the pirates. Why should they risk their reputations, careers, freedoms and lives just to uphold the law when they know their most likely reward will be a knife in the back?
