[0:00]" Navy snipers shoot and kill three Somali pirates but Wanda who goes aboard the US has Bainbridge to get medical treatment for his. Injured hand is quickly taken into custody. Now what to do about him. Doctor Greg -- director national security. And intelligence program to Fairmont State College in West Virginia joins us this morning. That's a question and doctor known to what do you do -- this guy."
[0:24]" Well first and foremost is who we're going to use them for intelligence but in try to get as much -- possibly can. Then secondly they'll be. The discussion as to where to prosecute him. Piracy is one of those crimes that -- referred to as having universal jurisdiction. Paris the another good example because slave trade. So is -- being able to be prosecuted anywhere in the world her for committing the act of piracy."
[0:51]" Who would politically. Would be the most expeditious for the United States to try am here to. Seven to Kenya were apparently is some sort of an agreement we have."
[1:02]" Well -- you know it it it's a classic legal answer it depends. If we feel that they Kenyans. Will are able to do it in the -- want to do it you know -- can -- they'll want this kind of trouble as stated there are dealing with. Their own pirate warlord in the area. They don't want us there causing internal habit themselves. They made they mean no -- touch this. So what another option may be Djibouti which is just north of there. We have we we have an agreement with -- we have a lot of troops based there. Or Africa so so there -- a couple of them a couple of states that may be options here because Somalia obviously isn't one of them as a failed state. In the it'll be interesting -- Kenyon wants to have this jurisdiction once they have this prosecution not."
[1:51]" If the United States decides who retain. Jurisdiction over this the options are 180 civilian court -- here a military. A court or perhaps the sort of a tribunal which has drawn so much controversy. Particularly. Who -- respect to the the terror suspects who have been detained at Guantanamo Bay."
[2:12]" Right now HUS federal court would be would be the number one option. I I I I think you're right -- that they would want to keep him in the area it does help -- the deterrent factor if you do see. You know pirates actually being prosecuted. If you take them out of the area and bring back he -- accord -- to lose a little bit of that. I don't I don't really -- US fertile -- being option for the Clinton now on the other hand if Americans had died. Then I concede US sort of -- being the number one option."
[2:45]" Back in the days of blackbeard the pirate. They used to hang pirates -- apparently these days."
[2:51]" An -- still it's still death in most jurisdictions the again it'll be interesting to see if it's the bill would -- state which is often the waters of the country that the piracy took place -- Or what the nationality of the fired. That's another option I'm assuming he's Somali but. They could be a surprise it turned out to be from you know yet many here are some of larger than some other nationality."
[3:18]" Doctor Greg noon -- as Fairmont state in West Virginia."
