        @BaggJames It wasn't. If Iran did that to the US, their sailors would have been sent to Gitmo.Clearly #Iran doesn't want trouble. @abasinfo

        @BaggJames Amazing how people disregard that. I think Iran has been incredibly restrained considering history & aggro US rhetoric @abasinfo

        @abasinfo @kevincorke Surprised captured sailors did not use covert messaging eg. eye blinks, hands, fingers to communicate to world.
