Now the spotlight on the Somali Piracies make sense to me.

When I saw all of the recent news events and the CIA working in this area, I knew there was more to it than just piracy.

If it shows up in our MSM, it is only because our government has a big business corporate sponsored interest in it.  No two ways about it.

Piracy on the high seas is nothing new. No, I am not referring to the days of Henry Morgan, Annie Bonny, William Kidd, etc. The waters of Indonesia have been a hotbed of modern day piracy for decades. The Malacca Straits, which link the Indian and Pacific oceans, are one of the world's busiest waters, used by more than 50,000 ships a year.

Do a Google, or have a look at this extensive list of articles.

The Somali Pirates finally made the mainstream news here. Nothing new; just that they became overly active and grabbed a really big prize.
