The other ROK media reported that there was a Korean-American sailor on board the USS Williams who provided translation support to North Korean victims. I wonder he/she was a member of original crew or may have placed it there from somewhere else?

Do you suppose, once the Koreans were done with the Somali pirates, they all had black eyes and fat lips?

You've got to admit that it's pretty interesting to see the US and DPRK fighting on the same side. When has that ever happened?

I would venture to say that if a few American/Korean/British/(insert nationality) soldiers had their buddies killed by some pirates/terrorists/insurgents/(choose your bad guy) and held captive for x number of days/weeks under god/allah/buddah/(insert deity) knows what conditions that the thought of doing something inhumane to them might do more than just cross their minds. Someone might just slip and fall off the deck into the propeller…accidents happen. Good thing the Navy was there to keep them honest, eh?

I think 'Humane treatment” is an unfamiliar concept to the North Koreans in any aspect of life. I mean the capital city of Pyungyang doesn't allow the elderly or pregnant women to keep residence there.

As long as they are far out to sea, I think the dinghy is appropriate…as long as it has a moderate size leak in it.

ChickenHead – LMAO

"one of the reasons the U.S. destroyer was escorting the North Korean ship was to see how the sailors will treat the pirates."

I guess our boys are pretty lonely out there too. If they can't have at it, at least they can watch.

"the captain of the North Korean cargo ship Dai Hong Dan wanted to leave them in a rubber dinghy at sea"

I bet they still get the dinghy… but with no rubber.

How would North Koreans say "Squeeeeeaal, piggy, piggy!" Kuuuuuuul, deaeji, daeji? Somali Pirates — The Other dark meat.

So… if the pirates are trophies, does that make them NK booty?

Oops – they slipped and hung themselves from the mast.
