Personally I think its a great idea- albeit one that could quite easily get out of control. Lets not forget Captain Kidd was once a paid captain in her majesty's navy- as a privateer. Until he found (through not finding pirates) that attacking traders paid better. On the other side I'm sure the bounties for pirate hunting could be decent and companies like the former Blackwater group (I think they are now XE?) have plenty of mercenaries who would have fun chasing pirates around. If nothing else it would limit the use of the US Navy who deserve better than floating around without proper authority to attack the pirates due to idiotic laws and restrictions. The press has been having fun saying the pirates have 'challenged the US Navy' and created a 'standstill'- no that would not be the pirates that would be the UN, EU, and international court who are severely lacking proper laws regarding chasing piracy.

I love this line:
"...This is not Johnny Depp we’re dealing with.”
HAHA, LOL! Not a bad idea, really, although the prosecution issues definitely pose a problem... unless they just kill them all. That simplifies matters greatly. :-)
