    This is worse than those lads you Yanks have detained in Cuba. At least they were probably guilty of something!!!

    Since the detainees don't have US visas it's unlikely they'll get anywhere near Disneyland or anywhere else. It was a US court that enforced the detainment so neither the PRC nor the owners have much to do with it (. If the crew were at sea they'd be earning a lot more more money for both. Having a crew shut up in a secret location, not running your ships, isn't good business sense.

    I wonder how the US would have reacted if the master, chief engineer et al aboard the Global Patriot were detained by the Egyptian authorities under the same conditions, pending a court hearing that might not happen for a year or two?

    What's good for the goose...
