The Best Way to Deal With Pirates

Kill them.
NEW DELHI: Days after pirates seized a Saudi-owned supertanker carrying more than $100 million worth of crude oil, the Indian Navy said on Wednesday that one of its warships fought a four-to-five-hour battle at sea with would-be hijackers in the Gulf of Aden, sinking one suspect vessel in flames and forcing the pirates to abandon a second as they fled at high speed.
International law used to hold that when battling pirates, the captains of naval vessels were permitted to sink their ships and summarily hang the survivors.

Sounds like a plan to me. It avoids the whole question of where do you try pirates that you captured on the high seas.

I'll agree if you call for the same punishments for white collar pirates too.

Sure, if we capture them on the high seas. Otherwise, the local laws sort of have to rule the day.
