Reuters: U.S. sailors detained by Iran spoke too much under interrogation: Navy
American sailors who were detained by Iran in January gave away too much information to their captors and were seized in the Gulf following a series of missteps by the crew and their superiors, the U.S. Navy said in a report on Thursday.
The report said some of the 10 crew members, detained at gunpoint Jan. 12 by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), had revealed sensitive information, such as phone and laptop passwords, to the Iranians.
At the time of their capture, an international incident that rattled nerves days before the implementation of a nuclear accord between Iran and world powers, the sailors were in transit in two vessels from Kuwait to Bahrain.
Iran used the detentions for propaganda purposes that kept the incident in the headlines for weeks afterward.

You can blame commander-in-chief for the little kids
The broke the UCMJ then.
This is such BS these people watch way too much TV and movies, nobody can stand up to interrogation for more than a few hours, they were just kids, fear and pain done by a pro, no contest, everybody talks everybody. The Iranians have been doing this for a long time, they know what they are doing.
Fish rots from the head.
The little kids had no faith in the pusillanimous Coward in Chief (CINC) or outright traitor in chief.
At least Hairy Reid was in a boxing ring as a pugilist.
Putin was a pugilist in the streets.
Was the craven, cowardly, pusillanimous, ignoramus Obama ever a pugilist?
He did call an unpopular girl in private school names when everyone else was against her!
HE IS SO BRAVE!
