Overcomplicating Things

IHT:
Germany called Tuesday for an international court to be set up to prosecute Somali pirates who have attacked scores of vessels this year, threatening global trade in one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. Defense Minister Franz Josef Jung of Germany said suspected pirates should face an international court. "It needs to be an international authority. No one wants a 'Guantánamo on the sea,"' Jung said in Djibouti, where he saw off 220 German troops joining a European Union anti-piracy mission.

We don't need another international court or a Guantánamo on the sea.  Get some rope and a yardarm and your problem is solved.
