Piracy at Sea or Terrorism?
From Transnational Crimes Today.
In international waters, the line between piracy and terrorism is becoming blurred, with stark implications in the way the United States decides to take action. According to Vice Admiral Jonathan W. Greenert, who was in Pittsburgh yesterday at the Soldiers & Sailors National Military Museum & Memorial, “[a]n international effort that includes the U.S. Navy has prevented potential terrorist attacks in Asian seas and waterways aimed at disrupting global commerce.”
When will people wake up and realise that the "piracy" metaphor is over hyped by the Big Media propaganda machine and that the abuse of the term "pirate" has now become rampant.
Now that "pirate" has become synonymous with "terrorist" - P2P users had better watch out - if somebody up there doesn't like you - then there is an all-expenses paid holiday hotel waiting for you in Cuba.
