Excellent news! Our servicemen who executed this operation to rescue him and kill the pirates deserve very high honors!

You need one live perp to tell US the story of who is behind them, finances them, locations.
Sounds like a SEAL deal

Being sarcastic without having a sarcasm tag in your post will lead you to troubles.

Actually, it might serve to have him rat out their buddies on land.

This STILL took entirely too long. Also, if there is no retribution, towards the pirates on shore and in the other pirate boats, this stuff will only get worse.
Gimme a break. This is the best outcome anyone could hope for. Hostage situations always require patience.
3 of the 4 pirates killed, the 4th captured, the Captain safe. What more could we want? And do we really think any pirates will want to attack another American ship after this? This was a fiasco for them.

Read the link... still doesn’t say who or how.
I’m assuming the pirates didn’t die of old age or something...

CNN reporting that Captain Phillips family has known for several hours that the Captain is free. The news is just now being released to national media.

Wouldn't surprise me if 0 asked, "how much, guys?" He had to get this out of the news so he secretly paid off his fellow cult members.

This STILL took entirely too long. Three out of four pirates dead, captain safe, ship and crew safe, no ransom paid. What difference does it make if it took one day or five? The end result is what is important, and short of four dead pirates I don't know how it could be any better.
