Question for those who know the law.
The US sent in SEALS to shoot the 3 prates holding a US Citizen hostage.
Now the US would tell anyone who questioned it to nick off and MYOB
but where does this fall legally considering it was in international waters.
Justified on the basis of terrorism because they were holding a hostage ?
What about if they stormed a ship being held by pirates and the crew
were being held hostage but were locked in the safe room ?
