It's more 'entertainment' than 'news' but I thought this was interesting. Hijacking, hostage situations, and piracy in general have been (sadly) a common occurence in maritime transport. However, when an all-American crew is on board and a hostage is taken, let's make a movie and milk it for all it's worth.
Let's be real, people will probably see it for the drama, the Navy SEALs, and taking down a bad guy. But when people leave the theater, I hope they realize that the pirates taken down in this encounter are part of a much larger pirate population. And that, even though this crew is safe and no ransom paid, it is not always the case.
