Why do people do such things? Because they have something to hide.

Secy Kerry tells congress he will not honor the request to make Benghazi survivors available for questioning.


The survivors of the attack are not the only witnesses who have been held back from testifying. In July, the Examiner spoke with Dan Lamothe of the Marine Corps Times, who reported that the Pentagon admitted that an "administrative error" mistakenly classified Marine Col. George Bristol as "retired" and therefore unavailable to testify about his knowledge of the events surrounding the Benghazi terror attack in Libya last year.

Lamonthe exposed the story, which went mostly unreported in the mainstream media. It was his reporting that led to Bristol to testify in a closed door hearing. The results of that testimony are not easy to find, but UPI reported that Col. George Bristol "gave troops in Libya permission to respond" in Benghazi, despite it being widely reported that he gave a "stand down" order.

Again, the mainstream media was generally uninterested.

New report: Top officials escaped blame for Benghazi
September 16th, 2013 ~ A commission that investigated last year's terror attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four people lacked sufficient independence and did not hold senior officials accountable, a congressional report said on Monday.

The House Oversight Committee conclusion also raised new questions about the relatively short time frame taken by the Accountability Review Board to investigate the attack by armed militants and issue its findings. "The ARB operated under significant time pressure, completing its work and issuing a final report in just over two months," the report found. "For some, including (the State Department), this report represented the final word on the internal failures that contributed to the tragedy in Benghazi. For others, however, the report overvalued certain facts, overlooked others, and failed to address systemic issues that have long plagued the State Department," it said. The independent review board was launched by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and criticized the department for failing to provide adequate security. It singled out mid-level officials.

But the new congressional report said the review board downplayed the importance of decision making at senior levels of the State Department. It also criticized the conclusion that pinned accountability for security issues on certain State Department officials "based on factors that had little or no connection to the security posture" at U.S. diplomatic facilities throughout Libya. "The haphazard decision to place the four officials cited by the (review board) on paid administrative leave created the appearance that former Secretary Hillary Clinton's decision to announce action against the individuals named in the (review board) report was more of a public relations strategy than a measured response to a tragedy," the committee's assessment said.

Secretary of State John Kerry re-instated those employees, who were reassigned to other jobs. The new report also questioned why Under Secretary of State Patrick Kennedy, who still oversees diplomatic security at the State Department, was never disciplined or assigned responsibility. Moreover, the report is the closest congressional investigators have come to tying Clinton to aspects of planning for the Benghazi mission before the attack. The report said e-mails showed it is "likely Secretary Clinton's views played some role in the decision making" on the future of the mission while discussions within the State Department on the uncertain security picture in Libya were ongoing.

In response, the State Department accused the report of "twisting the facts" in an effort to advance a political agenda. "The idea that facts are being hidden and people shielded from questioning is wrong on its face," State Department spokesman Douglas Frantz said in a statement. "State Department officials, including former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, have appeared at nine congressional hearings and the Department has provided thousands of pages of material to members of Congress and their staffs," he added.

We will have to get rid of this regime to find out the truth.

Obama, Hillary and Kerry are doing everything they can to COYA.

That there is a cover-up is getting more and more obvious.

Of course the media is *cough* uninterested aka complicit in a coverup.

2 siblings one of the President of CNN and the other the President of CBS both work for the Administration and were directly involved in Benghazi.

It's an incestuous relationship between this administration and the media. Jay Carney's wife is high up in ABC. The list is endless.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

You knew the mainstream media was biased, but this is incredible.

It was revealed today that CBS News President David Rhodes' brother is Obama Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes, who was instrumental in rewriting the Benghazi talking points.

But it gets worse. It is now learned that ABC President Ben Sherwood's sister, Dr. Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, is a Special Assistant to Barack Obama on national security affairs.

But even this isn't it! CNN's deputy bureau chief, Virginia Moseley, is the wife of Tom Nides, who until February was Hillary Clinton's deputy.



And the idiotic libs on USMB continue their ramblings that there is no bias in the media.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Kiss my ass.

Nothing to see here folks. What difference does it make?

If the media had investigated Nixon the way they are "investigating" Obama, Nixon would have had two full terms , followed by Ford's two terms, followed by Reagan's two in 1984-1992; and we would have been spared the Carter years.

The US media's propaganda machine makes Pravda look fair and balanced by comparison.

Nothing more obvious that the conservatives and honest folks in this nation cannot win because the great majority is in bed with the democrats, with Obama, with liberal ideologies, etc. If they refuse to expose the horrors and disgrace of Benghazi and the cover-up, they will never be honest about anything. A national disgrace where we all must pay a price.

And there are many supporters of this despicable systemic manipulation of truth and justice, right here on these boards even. Their silence is deafening.
