Patrick Leahy actually said...
If there were an Iranian military boat with armed Iranians on it, and they came along the coastline--pick a place, say South Carolina--and was well within the U.S. border, perhaps the engine stopped, but it had armed Iranians, would we not at least hold them until we found out what they were doing?
Context
Leahy questions the response to armed Iranian boats near U.S. waters.
