Saving the hostage should be secondary to minimizing future incidents.
I do not see any way out of that and I dont think you can either.

In another forum, I just read *the* solution. Instead of tracking down
and killing these pirates, we should track down and kill anyone who has
paid ransom to these pirates. Case closed, no profit, no piracy.

Sure, kill the stockholders too.
Blow the lifeboat out of the water.
Nuke Somalia.
Send Seals to swim under and sink the lifeboat.
Snipe them - though you can't see them.
Blast them with heavy rock music.
With "solutions" like these, who needs pirates?
Thank God the inmates ain't running the asylum.
