NightSide - Should America Be Embarrassed?

BOSTON (CBS) - After ten U.S. Navy sailors from two different boats were captured by Iranian forces on Tuesday, Secretary of State John Kerry began negotiating for their release. Over the course of ten hours and a number of phone calls, the two nations were able to come to an understanding and the U.S. sailors were returned to their ships. At one point during the talks, Kerry reportedly said to Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif that, "if we are able to do this the right way, we can make this into what will be a good story for both of us." Some officials say that the quick negotiations are a sign of improved diplomatic relations between the two nations that began with the recent nuclear deal, while others claim this story is an embarrassment for the United States. What do you think?
