SEAL Team 6 Frees Aid Workers from Somali Pirates How long until they start releasing action figures and major motion pictures for SEAL Team 6? The same group of commandos who killed Osama Bin Laden last year was conducting a daring raid that killed Somali pirate captors and saved an American aid worker just as President Obama was headed to give his State of the Union address on Tuesday night. The president, who reportedly pointed at Defense Secretary Leon Panetta as he headed to the podium and said “good job tonight,” had authorized the operation Monday. Somali pirates captured American Jessica Buchanan and a Danish aid worker on Oct. 25 near the central Somalia town of Galkayo—at the edge the country's notoriously dangerous pirate territory. Early Wednesday morning, American commandos landed helicopters in the area and a firefight erupted. Nine pirates were killed and several more were reportedly captured. Both aid workers were safe and in good condition, according to a United Nations official.	From: slatenewschannel Views: 307 11 ratings

	Eagles & Vultures: A portrait of Mohamed Sahnoun & Samuel Johnson Eagles & Vultures tells the parallel narratives of Samuel Johnson's “The Vulture,” published in 1756 and the life story of Mohamed Sahnoun: born in colonial Algeria; imprisoned and tortured by the French during the Algerian struggle for independence; Ambassador on three continents; UN Special Envoy to Somalia, Sudan, Congo, Ethiopia and Eritrea; and presently, considered one of the foremost experts on conflict resolution. Threaded with a retelling of Johnson's short story, published almost three hundred years ago, Sahnoun offers us advice on where we have been and the one means to get to where we need to be, in world where peace is a option.
