Sounds like the squids out of Dam Neck (where DEVGRU as they're officially known as resides, I live not too far from there) achieved another good result. The Somalis are claiming a few of their fighters are missing, my guess is the SEALS snatched them and took them back for interrogation.
And my guess is that the SEALS are gonna be insufferable again for a while, bad enough they had to get Bin Laden (only kidding there of course...)

I like insufferable SO guys. They get that way after successes. The more insufferable, the better.

Though I wouldn't have known if they were at all insufferable or not when I was at Dam Neck that one time (only as a civilian contractor, mind you, and no, NOT that kind). Pretty quiet, but very professional and polite bunch...though it's exactly that type that I've been taught you need to worry about the most... P.S., fanboys and wannabes should think twice before trying to check out the DEVGRU compound uninvited, it's a virtual base-within-a-base with multiple levels of security, hard to even get near it.

That Somalia op got coverage in the Australian media too. I was very, very happy when I read the details (such as have been made available anyway). The 5 pirates the SEALs took away with them are in for some miserable times ahead.
The goings on in Somalia and the Horn of Africa are of particular interest to my state because it's directly across the Indian Ocean from me.
