(2009-04-15) Somali Pirates

John Robb on the Somal I Pirate-s.

N[[PR]] considers the Business Model of Pir Acy. First, expenses such as food were paid. Then, the pirates paid themselves. Those who took a lot of risk got paid more. Gullestrup says they actually found Time Sheet-s onboard the ship after the pirates had left. (How about a motivational poster?) John Robb has written about this Bazaar Of Violence (VentureCriminals?) many times in the past.

(Unrelated John Robb quote in first link: The short term "solution" that arrested Iraq's descent into state failure (Failed State) was an open source counter-insurgency (aka managed Militia-s) called the Anbar Awakening (not the "surge," which was a costly PR stunt).) (War On Iraq)
