Freed pirate hostage reacts to Limbaugh’s racism

by Joe Byrne
Shane Murphy is a sailor trying to get his land-legs on home turf. Less than a week ago, Somali pirates took his ship’s captain hostage, and Murphy took over at the helm while a hostage-rescue team freed his captain.

On returning to America, Shane was disgusted by what some people think its okay to say on the radio. The second-in-command on the American merchant ship has come home to find that Rush Limbaugh has personally offended him with comments about “black teenagers” being killed in covert operations on “the high seas.”.......

keep your fingers crossed

they actually get their asses kicked to the CURB in iraq. let them chase pirates is what i say!

A senior official familiar with a report commissioned by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told the AP on Wednesday that the panel has called for Blackwater's contract not to be renewed when it expires next year. A decision on the recommendation will be left to the Obama administration, which will be in place when the contract comes up for renewal in the spring. Rice ordered a review of the department's use of private security firms last September after an incident in which Blackwater guards killed 17 Iraqis in Baghdad. Five guards have been indicted on manslaughter and other charges stemming from that incident. The company was not implicated. It is not clear how the State Department would replace Blackwater if the recommendation is accepted. The department relies heavily on private contractors, including Blackwater, to protect diplomats in Iraq as its own security service does not have the manpower or equipment to do so..........
