This Was Almost a Good Thing

Dutch Free Yemeni Captives From Pirates - NYTimes.com This part was good.

Dutch commandos freed 20 Yemeni hostages on Saturday

Freed from pirates. This is definitely a good thing.

But overall, there are still a few bugs in the system, because this, was most definitely not a good thing.

The Dutch forces, operating under a NATO antipiracy mission, then released the pirates, a NATO commander said, because NATO has no “detainment policy.”

Are you freaking kidding me? They released these idiots? What a joke.

This is a sad commentary on the state of the world, and the state of NATO. I expect this kind of insanity from the UN. NATO I used to have some respect for.
