Otherwise, it makes sense to me that -- if there are only 2 pirates -- that you get a couple of snipers and count to 3. Cruise on over and pick up the captain. Sink the dingy. Guess that's why I'm not in charge.
At Waco, they gave up trying to negotiate and decided to make a suicidal man crack instead. Think they’ll try to get the pirates to go for “suicide by cop” here?
>>>I’m thinking it is not authority to negotiate, but the negotiating skills in a hostage situation that these folks are looking for.
I think you are right. This would be similar to a case where a US embassy is bombed and we send FBI agents to investigate. They have these skills that other federal agencies do not.
