On Their Knees

Iran's taking of 10 U.S. Navy personnel into custody for allegedly violating Iranian waters was a nice touch on the day of the president's state of the union address.

Of course, he didn't mention it in the SOTU. No big deal.

Sean Davis disagrees.

Our military personnel were captured, forced to surrender on their knees, and photographed. Their images were then broadcast to the world on Wednesday morning by the Iranian regime, a clear violation of the Geneva Conventions. The American woman who was captured was forced to submit to Islamic law and don a hijab. State-run Iranian media announced that the whole affair was meant to be a “lesson” to “troublemakers” in the U.S. Congress. 

And the presidential administration of Barack Obama went right along with the whole charade.
