The hysteria around "Somail pirates" has never sat well with me, but I never knew concretely why. Luckily, fightingwords is on my friends page and posts things to help clarify.

thanks, i know you meant no disrespect in you question. (i myself have been admittedly a little sensitive in the past week too.) i haven't even read the comments in the post, my intent was just to draw attention to the news article, or even just the excerpt fightingwords posted. and when i put "Somali pirate" in quotes, it was more to indicate that there isn't one neat and easy definition of that category, that it's actually a complicated issue.
