He means they didn't do any of the following:

1. indiscriminately machine-gun any fishing boat they found, shipping any survivors off to Gitmo for unspeakable torture
2. detain all merchant ships in the area and search them for hours for evidence of aiding Al-Queda, waterboarding the crews in the process
3. use the 5" gun on the lifeboat the moment they arrived
4. use the seals to raid a nursery in Somalia and carry the infants off for Satanic sacrifice.

Or alternately:
1. take bribes for letting them go with the captain
2. coddle and sympathize with the "poor, oppressed victims of Western manipulation"
3. sing a round of "It's a Pirate's Life for Me" while towing them to another ship they can take over



That it was a clean, professional, absolutely legal and error-free job is not possible to some minds.



But then, since I haven't been there, and thus can't give him some "informed source says" dirt to use in a media slander-fest, he doesn't want to hear from me.
