Russ it's not at all clear that Obama gave such an order. I think it's likely that he did his best to avoid harming the pirates. I say this because of the extreme emphasis those present put on their judgment that the captain's life was in danger because a pirate had an AK47 pointed at his head.
It smells a bit as if the "danger" decision was made to accomplish what needed to be done rather than what Mr O wanted: more appeasement.
Are they the same pirates President Obama gave the order for Navy Seals to take out on Sunday?
