The Pirates really did their homework on this one.

The Quest was the home of the Adams who had been sailing around the world since December 2004 with a yacht full of Bibles.

At least one of the Special Forces guys got real close and personal with the Pirates and was able to use his training.
"A member of a U.S. special operations force killed one of the pirates with a knife as he went inside of the yacht, said Vice Adm. Mark Fox, commander of U.S. naval forces for Central Command."

Congress balked, concerned the deal would improve Libyan army mobility and questioning the Obama administration's support for the agreement

Why would they "balk" and be "concerned". This shit has been happening since Reagan. (probably before but i'm an 81 baby)
