    Yep, what he said ^^^.
    "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
    Benjamin Franklin, February 17th, 1775.

    "The case marked the first attempt by the U.S. government to prosecute anyone for piracy in nearly 200 years."

    Maybe it's just me, but:

    piracy = robbing a vessel or its holdings

    act of war = firing on an army vessel
