Ive had a full classified briefing from military officials, Forbes told the Free Beacon. It could be as long as a year before we actually get that released.
Details of the abduction are likely to start an uproar in the nation and call into question the Obama administrations handling of the incident, which many experts say violated international and maritime law.
I think that when the details actually come out, most Americans are going to be kind of taken aback by the entire incident, both how Iran handled it and how we handled it, Forbes disclosed. I think thats going to be huge cause for concern for most Americans. Thats why Ive encouraged members of Congress to get that briefing so they do know exactly what did take place.
Forbes suggested that Irans treatment of the U.S. sailorswhich included filming them crying and forcing them to apologize at gunpointmay have been much worse than what has been publicly reported.
I think clearly there were violations of international and maritime law that took place here, Forbes said.

Nothing will shock anyone in this nation anymore. “We” are a beat down pussywhipped, porn soaked, antihero culture of soft bellied cheekturners, accustomed to twisted perversions of justice and logic, well aquainted with “politically correct” indoctrination and brainwashing, ushering in transgender restrooms is a top priority, Diversity takes precedence over unity and debt and taxes is just the leaderships way of imposing kind bonded servitude instead of slavery. When I go out and about the city sometimes I feel like Lot in Sodom, wondering if its even worth saving anymore[/cynical rant]

Nothing this regime fails to do shocks.
If you look in the NYT archives on the incident you will find the story. It was reported accurately. And the story classified TSCW at NSA.
He’s constrained by law. If he says more he will face extensive prison time as well as a very hefty fine - these used to be 10 years and 10K minimums back in the 60s.
Despite some that believe Eddy was hero for revealing US ELINT and SIGINT collection methods and means as well as the names of all those who worked in those areas - one of the reasons the sailors were intercepted in the first place could have been because of Eddy’s release of the data enabling the Iranians to located and intercept.
