Not saying anything was done wrong, but seems to me if you can hook up a
towline to the boat, you should have been able to do something other
than blow the kids heads off. I wondered from the beginning why they
couldn't just blow some holes in the boat. The boat was already dead in
the water so these punks had little negotiating power. Sink the boat and
4 punks swimming 30 miles from shore seems like a weak bargaining
position for the kids... Of course, if I were the pilot, I'd go for the
head explosions, particularly after the fact.

On that note, has anyone seen interviews of the pilot to get his in
depth thoughts? I don't watch left wing media much, so I could have
missed him...

Just MHO, but if I was the hostage, I'd be praying for those snipers to get it
done SOON..
I've been shot at and it ain't a lot of fun..
A 10 year old with an AK on full auto has got a pretty good chance of hitting a
swimmer from a few yards away..
Assuming a banana clip, he'd have 30 tries..
