It's not just a job, it's an adventure

The U.S. Navy, originally financed by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson for the purpose of defeating the Barbary pirates, claims another victory against terrorism on the high seas:

The captain of an American cargo ship held hostage by armed Somali pirates was rescued on Sunday by United States Navy personnel, who killed three his captors, government and shipping officials said.

Three of the four captors were killed; the fourth jumped into the drink and suffered once he saw what he up against.
