The North Korean crew might be experiencing a higher quality of life as a hostage in Somalia than they had at home. Here is a thought.

I am curious about their "chemical" cargo, their destination, why I keep seeing different destinations for where the tanker's flag is (one said Kiribati and now you say Singapore), and what kind of ransom these guys think they could get. Maybe instead of money they will get paid in meth. Seriously, I wonder if that is a possibility. And I don't know if the word from the unofficial diplomatic channels was a serious one or not, but I don't think KJI will show up in person to deliver any ransom until they build a railway to Harardhere.
