Admiral said a gun was pointed at Captain's head and all snipers had clear shots at all 3 pirates and took it. NPR asked if gun had been held to captain's head before, if so, why fire now?
Admiral said captain had been shot at when he jumped in water on first escape attempt. Captain did not jump in water to escape, snipers took out all 3 pirates at once while captain still on boat. 4th pirate was not with captain.
Huh. So wonder how the story got going that the Captain had managed to jump a second time.
Good that the SEALs managed to raid the boat.
God forgive me, I love the smell
of dead pirate in the morning.
The captain did not jump out of the boat? Did the Admiral say how the snipers were able to get a shot if the pirates were in the boat?
