How to Capture Pirates?

BBC News writes an article on the pirates off the coast of Somalia. Initially, when the pirates took Americans hostage that they would be screwed. I mean, what were they thinking messing with the world's largest and most powerful navy?! They would be completely obliterated in no time now that they have involved the United States. I was wrong. It has been a couple of days and there is still no resolution to this pirate crisis AND the American captain is still being held hostage.

So, what can we do? I say bring in some Navy SEAL's and kick butt that way. I mean, I really don't understand how a handful of pirates are able to last this long and hold an American hostage for so long. I guess it takes a while for U.S. Naval resources to reach Somalia. OK, so I'll give them that. But once they reach these pirates, there better be a swift resolution. We have better things to worry about other than a band of rag tag pirates harassing American and international trade ships.

If not then we should call in Jack Sparrow. HA! How funny would that be if we recommissioned an old school colonial battle ship and set it to intercept the pirates. They would be so shocked that SEALs can stealthily obtain the captain and get out of there before the pirates could close their mouths from the jaw dropping surprise.
