I don't know how it works in Best Korea, but fishermen can become paramilitary, in which case they become valid if not great targets. When fighting countries with planned economies or without any economy to speak of, what does and doesn't constitute a valid target really is a spectrum.
It was more clear-cut here. They weren't valid targets, but this mission being revealed, or worse, if the fishermen were to shoot first or capture the SEALs, would have been disastrous.
It was unlucky. The SEALs, even if they are psychos, weren't crazy to think it was either them or the fishermen, or potentially cause a major international incident if they were found out.
Really, it all goes back to the mission being badly planned and overly complicated. The NYT article was right to mention this.
