"I can't quite agree with the 'they brought it upon themselves' resolution...the risk they were taking was no greater than say, someone attempting to climb a mountain in dangerous conditions...but we wouldn't leave them on a ledge" Well they were told not to sail where they did by the harbour master so I think they did bring it on themselves. |

the ransom has apparently dropped from 7m to under 100k.
now i know its not the money and giving these filthbags 100k isnt a move that should be encouraged, but this country has given plenty more over the years, to far less deserving people. 100k to most of us is bundles and many of us would like to have that spare cash when we retire - but the way this govt prints it, its about 30 seconds worth. |

I am sure the couple themselves are worth more than 100k.

Apparently all they asked for last time was £100k after the demands were set at $4.5 M.Surely if everybody chipped in a little bit with an appeal this amount could be easily be raised by family and friends

I'm surprised they're receiving any sympathy. You wouldn't go hiking through Tora Bora would you?

Having just heard that the Somali pirates want $7m for these two Rafa Benitez is furious that he has missed the transfer deadline.

Can't that lad who did a few laps of a park in Fulham raise the cash? He was all over the Haitian job, but when it comes to the Pirate booty, he's nowhere to be seen. It's PC gone mad imo.

So much cowardice displayed over this. The Royal Navy scared of a few kids with guns? Wtf. Never mind paying ransoms, this weak kneed lily livered government should finally show some courage and send in the SAS or whoever to rescue them right now.
Those who keep going on about the couple's stupidity seem to condone the piracy as something we should accept! Evil like that can only flourish if governments do nothing. What about the US Navy - a mighty presence round the world but doing f all in this instance. Surely Navys could join forces and sort this problem out instead of just skulking around keeping a low profile. |

Let's not mistake bravery with sending other people in to possibly get killed. That's not bravery. We don't know what's going on behind the scenes. Something is, hopefully. |

Drop a tactical nuclear weapon..........that will surprise them...

Difficult sitaution now all round - even for a rescue attempt,
and probably that is why the pirates have got them seperated, so any rescue attempt they may get one but not the other. |
