US Rescues Couple held by Somali "criminals"

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...?ncid=webmail1

High five for the Seals and Obama for authorizing the rescue!

However, check this out:

"The two aid workers appear to have been kidnapped by criminals – sometimes referred to as pirates – and not by Somalia's al-Qaida-linked militant group al-Shabab."

Well there is some "investigative" reporting for you. "Kidnapped by criminals" is a little redundant, no?

GO USN! Go SEALS! Clean out these scaliwags and make the Indian Ocean a safer place for all of us....Shots across the bow, no quarter asked, none given. We remember our friends on Quest...
