I'm often considered a liberal, but I think the Navy did the right thing by sniping the fuck out of those three guys, if indeed they were threatening to shoot the hostage, or things appeared to be running out of time. I'd like to add, seeing a live-action re-creation of that scene would be sweet. Feel free to snipe me with comments about insensitivity.
I don't care much for the pirates, to be honest. They fully understand the risks they are taking, and while I can't say I wouldn't do it were I in their situation, I'd know all the possible risks if I chose to become an outlaw. If you put your gun to an innocent man's head, you're risking your own life.
Seriously, they could have a picked a country with a less awesome military to fuck with.
