U.S. Navy seizes pirate ship

As I report today at National Review Online's THE CORNER:
U.S. NAVY SEIZES PIRATE SHIP [W. Thomas Smith Jr.]
The USS Winston S. Churchill, a U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer, has seized and boarded a pirate ship off the coast of Somalia. See here.

I also
wrote about 21st-Century Pirates a week-and-a-half ago at townhall.com
Then, how could I mention pirates and piracy with showing you the cover of pirate expert Gail Selinger's and my new book on pirates, due to be released in April.
Aaaargh!
