Somali Pirates Clarify the "Rules"

With the murder of four Americans following a hijacking by Somali pirates, the rules have changed as confirmed by another pirate (h/t Ace):

...Killing hostages "has now become part of our rules," said a pirate who identified himself as Muse Abdi and referred to last week's sentencing of a pirate to 33 years in prison for the 2009 attack on the U.S. cargo vessel the Maersk Alabama.

"From now on, anyone who tries to rescue the hostages in our hands will only collect dead bodies," he said. "It will never ever happen that hostages are rescued and we are hauled to prison."...

I think, therefore, that we should play by their rules. As I understand it we just captured 13 of the pirates who were responsible for the deaths of the Americans. They don't want to be hauled to prison so I think it's imperative that we cooperate.

Let's release them.

At night.

500 miles from shore.

Without a boat.

They will then have the option of swimming for their freedom. A win-win under the new "rules".
