Daryll Issa, Beating The Dead Horse Benghazi Again

HOUSE PANEL CONVENES ON BENGHAZI. The House Foreign Affairs Committee will hold a hearing, "Benghazi: Where is the State Department Accountability?" at 10 a.m. in 2172 Rayburn. Undersecretary of State for Management Patrick Kennedy is scheduled to testify.

It’s a pity that those seeking answers on Benghazi can’t focus on what really matters: Could anything have been done to prevent the deaths of the four men lost in Benghazi that night? And what can be done to make sure such a thing never happens again?

Instead, the Benghazi scandal-seekers are determined to link Hillary Clinton to the inadequate security at the diplomatic outpost (ignoring the obvious fact that a secretary of state doesn’t make security decisions for individual facilities) and the bogus “talking points” presented by then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice in the days after the attack (as though more accurate talking points might have retroactively saved lives).
