Virginian-Pilot
The widely circulated e-mail claims to offer a look inside last week's Navy SEAL rescue of Capt. Richard Phillips from Somali pirates.
The message, credited to retired Rear Adm. Lou Sarosdy, begins, 'Having spoken to some SEAL pals here in Virginia Beach yesterday and asking why this thing dragged out for four days, I got the following...'
It goes on to criticize President Barack Obama for not authorizing the military to act more aggressively during the stand-off, which ended with snipers killing three Somali pirates. The e-mail claims that Obama rejected two proposed rescue plans and that Phillips was saved only after naval officers at the scene decided on their own to proceed."
