This is the MSNBC video of the capture. Well done all.
Looks like a clean operation. Looks to me like 2 RHIBs and 2 helicopters trapped them like a mouse. I expect a lot of success like this, we have a lot of capabilities pirates simply have no answer for at this time, and while most of our actions will be responsive, not all pirate attacks are successful and it is important not to give pirates more than that one shot after they have been identified.
While I don't believe it will happen quickly, start the timer on Feb 11th, 2009. and lets see how long before they adapt to our tactics, or if we are capable of preventing that tactical evolution from occurring.
The end of that report observing the Russian/US cooperation is also a good sign.
