Benghazi: What's the Charge Again?

[Mudhammam]

The legitimate scandal of Benghazi is that the Obama administration appears to have purposely misled the American people about what transpired, to protect the President's foreign policy rep, just two months away from an Presidential election.

Embassies get attacked by terrorists all the time. It happened 13 times under Bush, which Al Qaida was "on the run". Why would it be especially damning to have one happen under Obama? And why does a riot make it any better? An attack is an attack. Dead is dead. The damage is done either way, whether the attack was planned or spontaneous.

Actually whether or not the attack was the result of a stupid YouTube video or a response to a CIA blacksite that was responsible for kidnapping and torturing local "terrorist suspects," that makes a big difference.
