I watched 'Captain Phillips' recently from the $5 video bin at Walmart. It's reasonably good and probably a bit the way things really are... depicting that incident under the Obama administration where the Somali pirates commandeered a cargo-carrying ship.  Good enough.

Pretty bad news for these Cuban doctors, I'd think the kidnappers are mainly just a criminal element as in Captain Phillips... maybe not so much as being Jihadists.
