Somali Pirates Say They Are Subsidiary of Goldman Sachs

Almost as good as the statement by the leader of Libya (and at the time, to the embarrassment of the African Union, its leader) that the pirates are defending their human rights by being pirates since they are hungry or fighting against the greedy west. (see eg. http://www.nation.co.ke/News/africa/-/1066/525348/-/13rtrgiz/-/index.html)

Thank God he was not reelected as leader of the African Union
The questions surrounding the tragedy of the killing of Imam Luqman instead of being answered and disappearing keep growing. First it was a shootout. Now the evidence shows he had deep lacerations on his face and a broken jaw. Additionally, he was seemingly shot 20-21 times, then handcuffed, and left to die on the floor, while the FBI dog which was seemingly shot once (not clear by who) was airlifted to a hospital.

No matter the man's rhetoric, he still had rights, and he still was a human being. The agent in charge had no concerns about his agents' conduct???? We should have no concern that he and his agents should be suspended and possibly fired and/or prosecuted themselves.
