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. We [the United States] did almost nothing in response, in fact, to have Secretary [of State John] Kerry actually thank them for releasing our sailors after they way they captured them, I think was s slap in the sailors face.

“Where is our Republican opposition?”
You have found the root cause of the problem. They have the majority in both houses, so letting this go is incompetent and spineless.
So what constrains Forbes from releasing the material?
If it so outrageous, the public deserves to know what happened.
“I’m so outraged! But this must be kept secret for another year or so?
What?
Is there a Republican with balls? Buehler?
A Democrat would release the material in a heartbeat to harm a GOP candidate or sitting President.
Do you think he deserves an outraged phone call from a constituent?
He said, It could be as long as a year before we actually get that released. You might ask: WHY a year? (How dumbed-down do they think we are?)
The operative words in your post are “open seas”.
Where they were located is very tight, and a lot of traffic moves through that area.
Randy Forbes seems to stay on top of things like this. He can only push so far. I’m on his email list and his Facebook page and it is a great way to stay updated. Unfortunately because of Justice Department lawsuit the districts are changing and he is going to have to run for the one that includes Norfolk and not where we live here in Prince George.
Shock?
Doubtful.
The powers-that-be will sweep this under the carpet just like they did with the 4 Americans killed in Benghazi.
We will be getting the ‘time to move on’ spiel before long.
This administration did nothing in response to the Benghazi killings, so why would we expect them to do anything against the Iranian captors. Carter didn’t — well, he did have that disaster in the desert rescue attempt. Besides Kerry, Clinton, Obama and Jarret have close ties to Iran.
Agreed on that. This worthless POTUS has taken the military by the neck and has destroyed it as a good muslim terrorist should destroy anything of America or Israel. The military is hogtied under the obamanation of America’s desolation regime.
The Congress is a dem-rino coalition of Americaa haters and conservative Congress people are stifled and silenced. Ryan, McConnel, AND OTHER CONGRESSCRITTERS ARE IN CAHOOTS WITH THE OBAMANTION.
Leak it anyway.
They would "report" to Sick Bay so military doctors could treat them for sphincter fissures, hemorrhoids, rectal tears or STDs, and those records would then be made available to those assembling the report.
Translation: Don't expect to see anything until after the election.
Why is the report classified? Most transparent administration in history-b fn sh... This report should be released TODAY-any decent person with access would do so. Where is Snowden when you need him? Come on Putin-release the report to the American people. Bammy and lynch are too busy with bathrooms for the mentally ill to go after a leaker.
Mercy
I didn’t have any idea
As part and parcel of his filing federal malfeasance in office charges against the entire Ophonybama administration!
AFAIAC, the entire lot of them should spend the remainder of their days on this earth wearing an orange jump suit whilst studying the inner walls of a solitary confinement cell in a federal Supermax!
Dittioes!
Because we haven't had an American president since 2008.
And we haven't had a pro-American president since 1988.
Commies to the left, commies to the right, ...
Only the gay ones, probably...
Maybe they actually DID rape the female sailor in front of the other sailors, and then threatened the same to them.
