Somehow BG believes it went more like this. The US government was following around a leeetle ship that they knew were pirates. The pirates knew they were following so they did nothing wrong. After following them for a few days the US government decided to just say they attacked them and get it over with.
Come on. Even the dumbest of the dumb are not gonna attack a US warship.....unless provoked anyway. Not that BG feels sorry for them, but this story smells fishy to BG.
