The arguable legal requirements for rescuing (or not killing) pirates (and thus narco terrorists) after their ships are blown up are found in 46 U.S.C. § 2304 and the SOLAS treaty. Ships of war are explicitly exempted from both the statute and the treaty. Period.
And under customary, ancient maritime law going back centuries, pirates are considered the common enemies of mankind to whom no duty is owed. They can legally be killed at will.

McCarthy is a clown
