Police say that two former Navy SEALs whose lifeless bodies were discovered on the Maersk Alabama earlier this year died after a night of partying, drinking, and taking heroin.

The crew of the Maersk Alabama is confined by the FBI to their ship in Mombasa's harbor. But they gave a deckside press conference today, and accused the media of risking their lives.

A U.S. Navy operation succeeded in rescuing Richard Phillips, the captain of the Maersk Alabama, a freighter whose crew fought back against Somali pirates. Phillips now joins Chesley Sullenberger as a hero of our times.

Negotiations with a group of African elders (!) representing the Somali pirates over the fate of Capt. Richard Phillips broke down yesterday, as Americans demanded that the pirates be arrested and face justice.
