CONGRESSMAN: CLASSIFIED DETAILS OF IRAN’S TREATMENT OF USA SAILORS WILL SHOCK NATION: The classified details behind Iran’s treatment of several USA 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, these details are currently being withheld by the Obama administration. Rep. Randy Forbes (R., Va.) told media sources 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 USA sailors were abducted at gunpoint by the Iranian military. Details of the abduction are likely to start an uproar in the nation and call into question the Obama administration’s handling of the incident, which many experts say violated international and maritime law. “I think that’s going to be huge cause for concern for most Americans." Forbes suggested that Iran’s treatment of the USA sailors - which included filming them crying and forcing them to apologize at gunpoint - may have been much worse than what has been publicly reported.
