Yes, because the point is that the pirates thought it now okay (versus one, two or three years ago) to attack a US ship. It was most certainly the right move to send in the SEALs and to put the surviving leader on trial, and Obama deserves credit for that. "also, how can u link the wanderings of journalist to the Obama adminstration? there is no way the US Gov can guarantee the safety of journalist who wander about beyond our borders." Again, my point is that adversarial nations now think it is okay to attack US property and its citizens. Why is that? Maybe because there has been a recent switch in the administration. "there were more high profile murders of Americans during the Bush admin: Daniel Pearl, various Americans kidnapped in Iraq who were later beheaded, etc." Someone being abducted and murdered in Iraq, where we are at war, is different from American citizens going about their lives in foreign countries and foreign waters who are now in danger because maybe, just maybe, the US won't retaliate now that Bush is out of office. “u didn’t mention that Obama was the one who OK’d the shoot to kill orders of the pirates.”
