Congressman: Classified Details of Iran’s Treatment of U.S. Sailors Will Shock Nation

I bet we also paid a ransom for the sailors.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Nothing this regime does shocks. It’s all horrible.

[miss marmelstein]

We always get these awful hints but never learn the truth. I’ll believe we’ll get the details when hell freezes over.

[PGR88]

The list of provocations includes a December 2015 incident in which Iran conducted a “live firing exercise within 1,500 yards of the U.S. aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman.”

Someone who knows better than I carrier operations and ROE's for ships like that - please advise me: how does a potentially hostile/Iranian vessel get within 1500 yards of a U.S. aircraft carrier in the first place? Is that common?

[Iron Munro]

Classifying information of this nature has nothing to do with national security and is an abuse of the laws that permit certain information to be withheld from the public.

The reason that information like, this or like the missing pages of the 9-11 report, is classified is to prevent American citizens from knowing the truth.

The end purpose is to protect politicians from being held accountable for their traitorous, and/or stupid actions and policies.

What?

[Leaning Right]

I'm not doubting that this incident was mishandled. But here we go again. Bad things happened. But I can't talk about them. Maybe you'll find after after a year-long investigation. Maybe you'll never find out. But bad things happened. Take my word for it.

For now, just let your imaginations run wild.

How about this instead: Congress, hold open hearings on this. Like right now.

To me, if any person says they will sit out this election rather than vote for Trump, they betray our men and women in uniform. They don’t deserve another treasonous democrat cutting them off and belittling the honor they serve!

‘We always get these awful hints but never learn the truth. I’ll believe we’ll get the details when hell freezes over.”

Certainly there will be no truth under a Clinton administration or as a result of a GOP Congress investigation. No mainstream GOP president will tell the truth either.

While I was troubled by Edward Snowden’s leaks from a national security perspective, I am becoming more and more convinced without such leaks, the government of the US will continue to operate in an unconstitutional and immoral fashion, whichever party is in power. The only thing these people fear is exposure of their manipulations, coverups, and crimes. The republic and the people are better served if “secrets” are revealed than if the behavior of government officials is protected.

I never thought I would say this but I hope there are more Edward Snowdens willing to expose the corruption.

I bet we also paid a ransom for the sailors.

We probably gave them money, enriched uranium, nuke design plans and a complete list of sensitive targets in the US. Iran are the good guys... they're going to help in the massive attack on the US Obama and his pals are planning for next year after he leaves office.

[SERKIT]

Obama’s fingerprints are probably all over this debacle.

[COUNTrecount]

Trump has said as much.

[Diogenesis]

First, no one in Congress, the EXEMPT lying GOP cares.
Second, it is Kerry’s and Val’s families in Iran
so no one in DC cares, and they released the Cole Bombers
and gave Iran nukes to boot.
Third, no one in DC cares. NO ONE. They could find
Iranian clothes with nukes on the border and the
feds would only give them maps.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Obama’s President Jarrett's fingerprints are probably all over this debacle.

FIFY.

I’m betting anal rape.

You didn’t know that?...................

[BuffaloJack]

Why haven’t we turned Tehran into glass yet?
