Apparently THE PIRATES aren't affiliated with anybody but themselves. Pirates, did you say? Yes, pirates.
Some AWESOME PIRATE QUOTES from the NYT pirates coverage:
...what they have to eat on board — rice, meat, bread, spaghetti, “you
know, normal human-being food.”...
...Mr. Sugule acknowledged that they were now surrounded by American
warships bristling with firepower but he did not sound afraid. “You only die
once,” Mr. Sugule said...
...He insisted that the pirates were not interested in the weapons and
had no plans to sell them to Islamist insurgents battling Somalia’s weak
transitional government. “Somalia has suffered from many years of destruction
because of all these weapons,” he said. “We don’t want that suffering and chaos
to continue. We are not going to offload the weapons. We just want the money.”
...
...unconfirmed reports about the pirate-on-pirate shootout...
When asked why the pirates needed $20 million to protect themselves from
hunger, Mr. Sugule laughed over the phone and said: “Because we have a lot of
men.”
