Kathy Kattenburg at the Agonist has a round-up of people trying to figure out what the ‘scandal’ is regarding Benghazi.
Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY) got fed up at the House hearing and flat told the Republicans that they had a large responsibility for what happened because they cut the funding for embassy security.
McCain lost his control when a reporter pointed out that he and other Senators are complaining that they aren’t being informed at press conferences they schedule at the same time as classified briefings on the subject and they don’t bother to look at the thousands of pages of classified materials that have been provided.
UN Ambassador Susan Rice is apparently in trouble because she doesn’t reveal classified information that would identify sources and methods when appearing on Sunday talk shows. Apparently Senators rely on Sunday talk shows to find out what is going on, rather than attending classified briefings by intelligence agencies.
