Report due out today from the State Department <\/a>as to what went wrong in Benghazi. Keep in mind this is an internal report from the department responsible for what went wrong in the first place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nA Few Thoughts\u2026<\/h4>\n
Sunshine is the best antidote\u00a0for the appearance of falsehoods. If, in fact, there is little or nothing to hide regarding Benghazi, the best interests of the country would be served by giving Sec. Clinton the time to recover and then having her testify. Dodging her duty to answer to the American people only lends credence to those claiming that the Obama administration has something to hide. A US ambassador and three other Americans are dead, brutally so. A US embassy (consulate or whatever we choose to call it) was deliberately attacked on the anniversary of 9\/11. And ample evidence suggests that the White House and Clinton knew about\u00a0the attack at various points\u00a0but failed to act. They then blamed it all on a YouTube video when they knew no such connection existed.<\/p>\n
Those who have nothing to hide are eager to speak the truth. Others, not so much.<\/h4>\n
