The classified details behind Iran’s treatment of several U.S. sailors who were captured by the Islamic Republic during a tense standoff earlier this year are likely to shock the nation, according to one member of the House Armed Services Committee, who disclosed to the Washington Free Beacon that these details are currently being withheld by the Obama administration.
Rep. Randy Forbes (R., Va.) told the Free Beacon in an interview that the Obama administration is still keeping details of the maritime incident under wraps. It could be a year or longer before the American public receives a full accounting of the incident, in which several U.S. sailors were abducted at gunpoint by the Iranian military.

Of course it is “national security”.
Its an election year.
Democrats never permit truth of government screwups to escape during these periods.
Later..
Then the current halfwit,Lurch, can stumble into a Federal investigation and say:’What difference,at this point, does it …..”
What with the Navy investigating Climate Change, navigation,chain of command and actual mission planning are not needed.
Having all these sexually correct chiefs of staff, there is no time to actually man ships or have a strategy for dealing with belligerent nations..
The timing of the “mistake” by the USN crew suggests they were either entrapped by an
Iranian intelligence operation or even more serious, an act of bad faith coming right from
the highest levels of that rogue government.
“the highest levels of that rogue government.”
Which one?
The Ayatollahs?
Or the Obamannation?
Couldn’t someone just go to Mrs. Bill Clinton’s email server and download the information? What difference does it make if the information is classified?
I like your style. Here is my less succinct attempt.
And Bergdahl’s trial is next year.
Remember how Duffy trial flipped with equally wayward Grit Senator Harb trial.
Our institutions are allowing themselves to become ideological; a truly sad thing.
Statist SOP north and south of the 49th, with an ignorant thrill seeking media in tow and fleeced sheeple.
What does it matter is the main theme. Their perception of opponents ideas or consequences is the only valid view.
Days of “coverage” must ensue from reporter hit teams, to get the truth out so the story can tell itself.
I got away with it ha ha is the common doctrine. Just like Benghazi eh? Not this time I think.
No journo gets censured for inaccurate headlines or stories. Mission accomplished, but not a profession, merely a gang of opinionated ignoramuses.
Sure families of dead servicemen lied that Hillary blamed the video. No standown order was given. There were no resources or time to help? Not so sure?
Caught in a lie about the transcendental video during chatter with Chelsea.
Ah yes, what does it matter now? Trump will play that scene again & again, including her dismissive bystander or AQ remarks.
Is this woman totally indifferent to the importance of security and intelligence? She may have finished herself this time.
Clinton foundation bombshells await. Bubba is already withdrawing from the scene under the pretense of serial workplace sexual predator mokusatsu.
Obama got away with Benghazi in 2012 via C.Crowley; now Hillary must explain her actions, surely claiming it’s already been “litigated.”
No doubt she will duck through CNN and MSNBC with friendly, co-opted journos. Maybe Megyn and her could talk. No?
Obama traipses around giving campaign style speeches to graduates, dissing Trump whom he believes is unfit for office, sullying it himself in the process.
Pure political projection: Partisan, mean-spirited and a socialist. He diminishes us all.
Get ready to meet the all in gang. It’s true Trump is just getting started; but so are they.
Dems obviously trying to exploit Trump negatives with women. Expect much more on that with tearful interviews to follow.
Continued strength with the women’s vote would ensure the overlords’ elections.
Trump will respond in-kind but also show a record of love, respect & support for women while displaying his gentle side.
Meanwhile Clinton foundation pays women less for same work as men. This should be entertaining.
Get ready for a media gong show of all time. Now Obama wants to campaign; his only strength imho.
All this is assuming Hillary doesn’t get indicted &/or the FBI leaks everything.
If the FBI is derogatory, she will not step down, indicted or not; but will give the election to Trump.
Obama would have to get rid of her then. That is why Bernie Sanders is sticking around.
One of the (very human) things that I always do, either consciously or subconsciously … is to “read” people. To analyze clues and cues given by their body language, facial expressions and whatnot.
When I saw ALL of the Iranian filmed capture, imprisonment, and interviews of our sailors … I saw men and women FORCED to behave as they did. I saw faces that told me they were following orders that they 100% disagreed with. I suspect they received “rules of engagement” from their superior commander, who received their orders from Valerie Jarrett. I wouldn’t even put it past Obama and his lackey Ben Rhodes to have “written” this whole episode as a ruse. Kinda like a wanna-be novelist might do. Serving our sailors up to “PROVE” how “moderate” the Iranians are … that they aren’t the fanatical Revolutionaries of the Carter years … but they were “moderate” in their treatment of our sailors.
The whole episode fails to pass my “smell test”. Something was really WRONG here, that spun 180 degrees from traditional Navy protocol. The TRUTH will come out in … time.
read 13 hours, a good book that does justice to the narrative of what went down in Benghazi. Obumbles, when head of the Harvard Law Review, would just drop by occasionally, and talk to some of the others who worked there, even though the “job” was a hands on day to day position. He is conducting his presidency in the same manner, and so is most of the rest of his staff. They lets others, those beneath them, do the “work”. The UN runs the same way. Those with authority do nothing, and those without authority do all the work. This is a very scary thing, as no one wants to take responsibility for any thing, and that is largely what happened in Benghazi. The stand down order was by the head of security operations who was stationed in the CIA annex. It was a total cockup that night. There are some blank spots in the narrating of the events, but one can read between the lines. And yes, the “film” was a factor in the Egypt attacks, but it doesn’t appear to have been in Benghazi, tho I think the Egypt factor gave the state and WH their lie prompt.
But…the most transparent administration in history??
