Before you ask... it's Greek. And, so is Johnson (via translation). It's a long story... Soterios Johnson seemed strangely drawn to the news, even as a young child.
Why NY Is the Wrong Place to Try Somali Pirate
Thursday, April 23, 2009
New York, NY –
Eighteen Somalis captured by the French and German navies appeared in a crowded Kenyan court today to face piracy charges. Meanwhile, the lone surviving pirate from the attack on an American vessel is sitting in a New York jail awaiting a federal trial. Time.com senior editor Tony Karon says that's a mistake. He argues that bringing Abdiwali Abdiqadir Muse to American soil to face an American court will not benefit the U.S. or Somalia, nor will it help put a stop to piracy off the African coast.
