    OK folks - stand by to stand by. We are going to see a whole new way for terrorists to raise money here. This is a ransom that never should have been paid. Even if meant sacrificing the ship, the load, and the lives of the unfortunate people on the ship.

    They got off cheap on that one. It started at 9 million, shot up to 20, then the pirates started dieing from some mysterious cause...hair falling out, skin burns, etc.

    I guess they figured they better cut their losses, and take what they could get...before they all died.
