What's really interesting about this piracy issue is something that K'naan was saying
towards the last third of the video;that there has not been one injury or death from the
pirates treatment.  That often the captives say they are not even spoken to rudely by
them.

This is what my father has been saying for the longest time.  When the US incident took
place, there was no word in the media about the captain being mistreated by the pirates,
but they shot them anyway. . .sadly.
