Politico: Controversy explodes over Iranian images of U.S. sailors
Iran on Wednesday released a series of images and videos showing the 10 U.S. Navy sailors it apprehended Tuesday, inflaming the American debate over their capture, including the question of whether the U.S. had formally apologized for entering Iranian territory.
Iranian media — Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting News Agency and Tasnim News Agency — published roughly two-dozen photos and five videos, two of which feature a male sailor apologizing and praising Iran’s treatment.

“It was a mistake that was our fault, and we apologize for our mistake,” the man says in one video.

WNU Editor: So much for name, rank, and serial number. These pictures and videos are extremely embarrassing. This is a huge propaganda victory for Iran.

WNU,
Well they've got the US now and are rubbing the US's nose in it. This Administration has maneuvered itself into a no win situation.
This was always going to be a no win situation for the US regardless what anyone did. Maybe just maybe some will realize just how deplorable these Iranians are. Not likely but maybe.
These scenes are bad but I am wondering if it was Iranian's marines passing in our territorial water how we were treating them?
interesting how any negative press will give boners to anti-american apologists...
note: the female captive was forced to wear a hijab.
We will apologize and give them money
!gasp! A HIJAB!!! Torturing barbarians!!!
Interesting, besides that none of the sailors look mistreated. Those nasty Iranians acted all civilized on purpose.
They're so sneaky.
What a bad week for "us". And now this

I'll bet those mad mullahs are behind this too or maybe it was their evil apologists. They're so evil.
A timid fly over of a B-52 of an allied country, 10 Americans hostage in one day, more American in prison in Iran, and a whiny state of Obama speech last night.
Hope that fool likes chasing after golf balls by himself in Hawaii
Oh no....a BURKA!!!? They were made to were burka! That sounds so horrible!!
But on a serious note, it would be interesting to see how the oh so-always-innocent US would react if the Iranians strayed into their waters.
(I'm not biased toward any countries, army/regime and I pride myself in that)

Ugh, ENOUGH of the anti-Obama Rhetoric. That's all I'm reading. Obama is to blame for this, Obama is to blame for that.
Yes, I think his foreign policy could be greatly improved, but it is difficult, trying to involve yourself in so many wars without committing thousands of ground troops (which is what he was elected to avoid).
So lay off Obama, especially since its the "cool thing to do".
"Yes, I think his foreign policy could be greatly improved"
Is that joke? Are you practicing a dead pant routine for a stand-up comedy gig by drastically understating the obvious?
That is right up there with stating "The plane could have been landed better." in an air disaster, where everyone perished!
Here is a clue. "Obama is the least qualified person in any room he walks into."
