Posted by Jonathan Adler: How to Handle Pirates: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_04_12-2009_04_18.shtml#1239549373
The ship seized by pirates off the coast of Somalia [1]appears to be the first US-flagged vessel to be seized by pirates in quite some time. What is the proper response? Julian Ku [2]ponders self help. There are also several posts and ideas on the NYT Room for Debate blog [3]here and [4]here. On the subject, last fall, I had a post, [5]"Why Don't We Hang Pirates Anymore?"
