Somalia’s Pirates = Robin Hood? (Updated and Bumped)

"Brutal” and “savage” is how The Guardian describes Somali pirates who have been seizing and ransoming ships at an increasing rate in recent months. On April 5 pirates from the Somali Marines group seized the French luxury yacht Le Ponant, leading to a daring French commando raid that nabbed several pirate suspects. In the wake of the raid, France sponsored a U.N. resolution to allow foreign navies to chase pirates into Somali waters.
Then, two weeks ago, Somali pirates captured a Jordanian ship … and reported to authorities that the vessel was smuggling illegal arms into the war-torn country. How do we reconcile pirates’ seizure of fishing and pleasure vessels with this apparent civic duty of intercepting illegal arms?"
