3. Neither
The pirates are not acting on behalf of a government. Biden and Cheney are talking about government actions against the U.S.

This test is as good as any, IMO.

This is a win for Obama; like it or not.

8. Of course they didn't give specifics
People in that position never do. They were making comments based on intelligence briefings. The pirate act was random.

Just give it up.
