Mostly Suppressed in AP Pirate Hostage/Murder Stories: Leader's Threat, Couple's Faith
USA Today's Wednesday cover story ("Killings Escalate Piracy Crisis"), has this reference to a quote obtained by the Associated Press:
Killing hostages "has now become part of our rules," said a pirate who identified himself as Muse Abdi in a statement to the Associated Press. "From now on, anyone who tries to rescue the hostages in our hands will only collect dead bodies," Abdi said. "It will never, ever happen that hostages are rescued and we are hauled to prison."
Pretty provocative, right? In fact, it resembles a declaration of war without the rules of war. You might even call it a declaration of t-t-t-t ... terrorism.
The problem is, Abdi's quote is no longer in any story at the Associated Press's home web site, and is rarely present in other Internet news reports.
A search at the AP's home site on "Muse Abdi" (in quotes) returns no results.
An AP home site search on "Abdi" returns one relevant item that relates to Abdiwali Abdiqadir Muse, a pirate who was sentenced to 33 years in prison last week. Muse's sentencing is cited as being a possible motivation for the hostage-taking of Scott Adam, wife Jean Adam, Bob Riggle, and Phyllis Macay, who were killed by their captors on Tuesday.
As of 10:30 ET, six of the seven relevant stories found searching the AP's home site on "pirates" (here, here, here, here, here, and here) have any reference to Abdi's specific threat or any more generalized threats made by the pirates. The seventh does:
Pirates reacted angrily to the sentencing and have since vowed that they will kill hostages before being captured during military raids and being sent to face trial.
I believe that most readers will find the quote at the beginning of the post much more provocative than the just-excerpted sentence. The Buffalo News thought that the wording of Abdi's threat was so significant that it included it in its "Quotations of the Day." So why water it down?
If the wire service's goal is to keep Muse Abdi's inflammatory direct quote out of the news (in an attempt, in my opinion, to minimize the chances that public outrage will force the Obama administration and world leaders to actually do something comprehensive about the deadly pirate/terror menace), it has largely succeeded. A Google News search (sorted by date) on "anyone who tries to rescue the hostages in our hands" (in quote) returns only 26 items. A general Google News search on "pirates kill" (not in quotes) returns over 3,900.
The AP also seems to be going out of its way to avoid tying religion into the killings. Of course, there is frequent reference to the couple's mission to distribute Bibles. But only one of the cited stories mentions that Scott and Jean Adam were member of St. Monica's Catholic church in Santa Monica, California. An AP home site search on "Adam Christian" (not in quotes) comes up empty.
There's also this odd quote from one of the earlier AP items that appeared before the hostage killings were committed:
The pirates from Puntland in northern Somalia are not hardline Islamists and the fact the Adams carry Bibles is not likely to be a problem. Pirates in Puntland are known to spend their ransom spoils on alcohol, drugs and prostitutes.
Given that the text of the Bible is not exactly approving of "drugs and prostitutes," that seems to be a pretty naive assumption. Sinners are often less than thrilled at the idea of being confronted about their sins.

Even a few cruisers on picket could handle it. Any small vessels leaving Mogadishu and hitting the 12 mile limit = vaporized. Not like we don't have the technology. And any "innocent fisherman" can adapt to fishing inside the international limit.
Of course, the Muslim-in-Chief would never agree to that. In fact, he's said exactly jacksh*t about the latest murders of US citizens. But defending unions?... he's all over it.

Unless media starts telling the truth, this situation is going to keep escalating until such time as chaos exists all over the world. Gee, that is exactly what some Muslims want to happen.....
I almost feel sorry for the bambi loving, tree hugging anti-gun anti Liberty progressives. They will be robbed of everything, including their lives and wives, and they will be hungry and unable to function themselves. Of course, that is is if they survive the onslaught that is coming. I know this, country boys will survive.
Those of us preparing are called foolish. We are demonized and told how foolish we are. We are called bigots and various '-phobes'.
The AP won;t even say "Terrorist" so why would it tell the truth about who the terrorists are, much less the religion that drives them.
I fear for my country. I fear for Liberty. I fear that peace is growing further and further away and war not seen on such a large scale in my lifetime is close at hand. I fear that the ammunition of choice will turn soon from words to lead. All my life I had thought the people of this country were smarter than this. Didn't we already learn this lesson?
I fear it all starts with media, the people within it, who refuse to just tell the truth as it is. The path of lies can only lead to eventual destruction and that is directly where we are headed. The AP is leading the way. Time to turn our backs on them and walk the other path, the path of truth.

I never published a "theory" that their death had something to do with their religion.
I criticized the AP for their "theory" that their death probably didn't have anything to do with their religion ("is not likely to be a problem"). They don't know that, and I raised the possibility that they're wrong. That's different from having a "theory" that I am right.
You either don't see the difference, or choose to plunge ahead and criticize me even though you do. That makes your "argument" ignorant or dishonest.

What is that if not conjecturing, guessing, raising the possibility, setting up a theory (you name it whatever you want), that the pirates were not to delighted with being confronted with Christian morals? In raising this possibility you formulated an utterly ridiculous theory to why they might have killed the American sailors or to be fair, as what you criticized was published before they were killed, to why they might be in harms way because of their religious beliefs. Otherwise it wouldn't make much sense to write it at all, would it? You can only criticize AP's theory that the sailor's death had nothing to do with their religion, if you conjecture, guess, raise the possibility, set up a theory that indeed it had.
I didn't say that I think that you think that you are right. A theory is a theory and I think you can also see that there is nothing as of yet that supports yours.
If I'm not worth the effort, stop making it.

We have all of the gadgets necessary to wipe out these nests of theives. Take them out, and their motherships. Six months ought to do it. Then return all of the vessels, for a small fee.
Last May, the pirates grabbed a Russian ship, the Russian special forces got it back, and basically tried and killed the pirates on the spot. No show trial, a la Obama (trying to look like he's hard on terrorism, really, a 19 year old Somali thief?). Needless to say, the Somalis haven't messed with a Russian flagged vessel since.

I actually sent the Maersk Alabama owners an email offering protection for all of their ships sailing thriugh this area of pirates.
I thought it was pretty reasonable asking $500,000 a ship and guaranteeing that they would not be pirated. I would furnish the manpower, and the weapons. All they had to do was say yes.
Can you believe that they blew me off?
It was a simple plan. Three guys with high powered rifles and a small rocket launcher, plus a few hand grenades if they woke up late, on each ship. Seems pretty obvious to me!
I guess they'd rather pay the ransoms and lose lives than have (ugh) weapons on their little boats.
I also promised that there would be no prisoners to haul back and "bring to justice." Don't you love that phrase, "bring to justice." Sounds soooo civilized!

I wish I could say I was surprised, but it seems like no one's learned anything from the aftermath of the Alabama where the Navy Commander said to hell with the ROE and used his snipers to take out the muslim pirates. Yes, they were Muslim and they were pirates.
One would think the commander would have been praised for his actions, and publicly he was, but we find out later that DuhOne was outraged that his fellow muslims were killed(he wanted to wait, what do you want to bet he made sure that waiting was what happened to these poor souls that lost their lives?).
Honestly, while I had hopes that the Americans on the yacht would have survived, I was not surprised that they were killed and very disappointed that the commander on the scene took 17 prisoners. Must have had orders to do so and didn't take it on himself to waste the MFs like the first commander did with the freighter captain.

I can't remember if it was mentioned on here, it was shortly after he had been rescued and the Chairman was claiming credit for what happened even though everyone knew that he was ordering a "wait and see" approach.
It was like one of those stories that you hear about like the time the presidential seal fell off his podium and he tried to make a joke out of it in the public eye and was privately raging mad about it, claiming someone was trying to make him look bad.
I'll be honest, it might have been one of those anecdotal things that got passed around that fit what we know about his personality but that was a couple of years ago and I've been trying to search for it just now. I did find a reference to something like it but this was a commentary and nothing specific.
http://open.salon.com/blog/ed_marrow/2009/04/25/the_real_story_behind_th...
Does it fit with what I said, no it doesn't and I admit I can't find proof to back up what I said, thought it would be easy to find but it's not. But without something to back what I said, it's more of an assumption based on known behavior from the last couple of years. And there are a lot of things he has done in the last couple of years that make this assumption seem likely.
So I withdraw that part of the statement. Not gonna do a Dan Rather here. And supposedly the Commander was given orders not to act unless the guy's life was in danger.(as opposed to what?)

But that phrase makes absolutely no sense.
Too bad for you.

keyboard diarrhea, you are wrong on all counts. As usual. Criticism bothers me not at all; I enter (German spelling) as a slap at your stupid self-importance. I absolutely have no fear whatsoever of being anything but safe relative dancing a two-step routine with a Euro-trash liberal like you. Your last two sentences are a primo example of liberal balderdash; assigning both motive and intent to a conservative that you as a living liberal example of a quagga not only thrive on, but literally could not function without. "--lame pseudo psychological content", "partisan, logic bending, straw grasping, ridicoulous (sic) narrative out of nothing, material that is more or less worthless." You couldn't even reach as high as Tom Blumer's gluteus maximus when it comes to either literary talent or business acumen, even standing on tip-toe, yet you condescendingly attempt to take him to task. Notice I said attempt. You are so full of yourself that you actually try and tell the man what it was he actually said, and even more laughingly, what the words he wrote actually mean. You are just another simpering Continental with a false sense of appreciation of self. Besides 'ridiculous", you also misspelled "criticize", putz.That is your idea of a slap?

"twee"?
Is that what Elmer Fudd whizzes on in the forest?
Or is that a gay phrase indigenous to the Continent, and Deutschland specifically?
You're so bone-headed an overhead sledgehammer strike wouldn't even dent your pate.
Carry on, mook.
MD
Gay phrase? No.

On the other hand it describes the weakness of your slap quite accurately.
"bone-headed", "slegdhammer", "mook" that's more like you.
It may be a "slegdhammer" in Deutschland---

but here in the U.S. they are called sledgehammers. Failing to spell properly, when the correct spelling is in your face, is careless. It is also indicative of a tendency to be lazy and demonstrates a sloppy, if not entirely absent, work ethic.If at all it indicates
