Scrubbed memory doesn’t take long to decode.
Obama is still an idiot for not having this destroyed before Iran got their hands on it!

...Fox News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin reported that apparently the Pentagon pleaded with Barrack Hussein Obama to give the order to do just that. The Pentagon initially wanted to send a special forces team to recover the drone. Obama shot down that suggestion. Then the Pentagon offered up plan B , blow it to kingdom come. Obama refused that too and now Iran and China have a brand spanking new fully functional top secret US RQ 170 Sentinel Drone.
The Drone was not recovered or destroyed specifically per Obama’s orders
"Scrubbed memory doesn’t take long to decode."
The problem is, even if it's all wiped, the Iranians are stating that they will bring a "lawsuit" based on the supposedly "extracted information" obtained from the drone.
Whatever secrets, if any, the Chinese and Russians may have been able to obtain would obviously be a huge blow to us. But even if the Iranians are bluffing and couldn't get anything, they would likely make things up- and we would be in a position of having to deny (because it wasn't true), but not be in a position to address anything specifically (because we wouldn't want to give away anything, obviously).
I have no idea what this "lawsuit" is that they're planning, or how it would work- but it seems like that could be the game that Iran is planning (especially to get sympathy from other anti-US regimes).

Reminds me of the NK capture of the USS PUEBLO, and I am livid!
It also causes me to ask if the “unnamed source” story of Panetta and Hillery bypassed Obama and Valerie Jarrett, and issued orders to kill Osama Bin Laden, might have some weight.
