I'm guessing no one likes those pesky pirates. You know, the "enemy of my enemy" sort of deal.

Yes, actually.

Looks like a couple Destroyers, a few Frigates and several Submarines.
Mostly coastal defense type stuff.

That report contained just about the least editorial comment of anything I have seen lately. Just the facts, ma'am.

Mayhaps their ears are burning or they're worried about that label "opinion based news" that Dan Rather's throwing around lately.

"Opinion based news"----I like that.
CNN should be worried. They ALL should. Especially those idiots at FauxNews and MSNBC. I know a lot of folks are tiring of that which Mr. Rather refers too.
Maybe he'll get his revenge by turning the public ire on them all? Sure would be nice.

Does Rather have any credibility left? Hell, IIRC even Cronkite took a couple of shots at him for his third place ranking as a network anchor. IMO just about all TV news is biased; however, there are now many substitutes available. I find it refreshing that the power of network anchors has waned.
