BTW: The U.S. Navy is charged with combatting piracy. Why aren't we? There's a NATO naval mission going on for years at the coast of Somalia to combat terrorism (within OEF), with ships from various countries. Some time ago, in another incident with pirates, one of our frigates was near the scene but couldn't do anything since the UN mandate that is the ground for the mission covers only action against terrorists, but not pirates.

I heard meanwhile they are going to change that (or already did, didn't check)
