Spineless Liberals begin hand wringing

The lone surviving Somali pirate from the attack on the American ship, Mersk Alabama, made an appearance in a New York City courtroom today. Already the liberal American media has begun their song and dance to make everyone feel sorry for this high seas criminal. They have relayed messages from his mother. They make a point to always refer to him a a Somali "teenager". He is sooo small, only 5'4". They point out that his mother insist he is only 15 years old but in a country with no functioning government, (Somalia not U.S), she can't prove it. During his court appearance they pointed out that he "Hung his head and weeped." I predict they will immediately begin a public campaign to portray him as an innocent accomplice in a crime brought about by his unfortunate economic circumstances, just like our criminal thugs in American cities. They have already forgotten that He identified himself during the hijacking as the pirate leader.

My only question is, Couldn't they have found four Navy SEAL snipers and saved the American taxpayers a lot of money?
