What boggles my mind is the mere fact that all these ships are being taken hostage by these Somali Pirates and the ships aren't armed? WTF is up with that? Dont Cargo ships have armed staff?

I think the reason they aren't armed is because the various ports they're stopping at don't necessarily want a bunch of foreign sailors with guns cruising into their harbor and may in fact have laws prohibiting such a thing. It's pretty understandable really but it certainly does leave them vulnerable when there are pirates around.
