Well, it was interesting, if not terrifying to contemplate. However, according to Information Dissemination, the Iranian ship MV Iran Deyanat that had been hijacked by Somali pirates and then spirited away after the pirates agreed to give it back has made it to its original destination: Rotterdam.

Well, the MV Iran Deyanat popped up in the news again today, this time making port in Rotterdam. Not only was the ship deemed unsuspecting of any problems, but it underwent a normal inspection without issue and according to this news report, is tied up to bouy 29 without the necessity of extra security as the ship waits to unload cargo.

Hopefully this will allow the never ending conspiracy theory surrounding the ship die. Was there anything that made this ship unusual? Hell ya! Pirates turned down a $2 million dollar ransom at one point, the ship had an unusually long official transit log, Reuters reported on dead people and other health related problems of those exposed to the ship, and official government folks in Somalia threw plenty of gas on the fire. In the end, it amounted to nothing, adding just one more legend to the piracy off the Somalian coast.

Laer at Cheat-Seeking Missiles is offering up his mea culpa with a caveat:

Plus, I wouldn’t put something as nasty as a ship-borne dirty bomb beyond the Iranians. Anyone odd enough to spiritedly deny the holocaust while aggressively calling for a new one provides plenty of evidence of being a wee tad meshuggah.

Well, we can’t get ‘em all right — but I still think there are nuggets of possibility in the ID post’s comments.
