>> This was handled well by all involved including the President. I agree with this. It was a hostage standoff and there would have been no reason to act before they did. I'm not even sure why the President would be involved in such a thing. Seems like a no-brainer to me. Had they acted precipitously and the captain was killed in the process, everyone would have been raising hell. It did start to pose a concern as they drifted toward land; the situation could have turned far more serious had they made it to land.
