At the press conference they kept badgering the Admiral over whether Capt. Phillips was reallllllly in danger. Gee, guys...being held captive for four days by pirates with weapons is not like being invited over for a poker game. Then the cry baby from NPR demanded to know how those pirates died and who was responsible—was it the SEALS??? The Admiral refused to answer. The CNN wimp asked if violence would now escalate because everyone knows that pirates are a “non-violent” bunch. Another gal named Courtney was very concerned about the pirates’ remains. The Admiral should have laughed in their faces but he was quite patient and polite.

Thank you for the details. I agree, the Admiral should have laughed at them instead of being patient and polite. Imagine if he did laugh or brush them off. There would have been a fury over it.
