Interesting read. Just the numbers of top brass being removed, replaced, retiring (?) is curious. Petraeus, Gen. Ham, Gaouette, Gen. Ward, Gen. John Allen

How many of the media are beginnning to pick up on news that whistleblowers will be talking?
Oh poo, whistle-blowers are all just disgruntled bitter people telling lies, or just plain-whacked-out-kooks .
An ongoing Congressional investigation across five House Committees concerning the events surrounding the September 11, 2012, terrorist attacks on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya has made several determinations to date, including: Reductions of security levels prior to the attacks in Benghazi were approved at the highest levels of the State Department, up to and including Secretary Clinton. This fact contradicts her testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on January 23, 2013.
In the days following the attacks, White House and senior State Department officials altered accurate talking points drafted by the Intelligence Community in order to protect the State Department. Contrary to Administration rhetoric, the talking points were not edited to protect classified information. Concern for classified information is never mentioned in email traffic among senior Administration officials.
Some interesting stuff coming out of the investigation so far. A big part of the security for Benghazi was local Islamist militia men for the area. After an IED was sent over the wall of the compound last summer, a different Islamist militia group did the investigation of the "suspect Islamist security people".
State Department people keep saying budget concerns is the main reason security was so poor in Benghazi, but the last couple of years they've been spending god-only-knows how much money on making their embassies "green". http://www.leagueofgreenembassies.org/?page_id=393
Maybe the reason nobody made much of a fuss about the other embassy attacks is because no Americans were killed?
I'm not trying to be a biitch or anything, but it sure seems like most of the media, and most American citizens in general put much more stock in American lives than the lives of citizens in other countries.
I am not in any way saying that what happened at Sandy Hook or in other incidents where children are killed violently in this country are not tragic and horrible. When those things happen here people go nuts and it's all that's talked about, but when we impose sanctions that kill innocent children and people in other countries, when we drone strike innocent children and people in other countries, most people just don't seem to care about those things much at all. Some people even have the attitude : "Well, that's what they get for living in such a dirt bag country and not doing anything to fix things."
-------------- And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
I believe there was a suicide bomber that killed a guard at the U.S. Embassy in Turkey this year as well as attacks on embassies inYemen and Egypt in 2012. Shots fired in Sarajevo in 2011. The Embassy in Kabul was attacked by Taliban in 2011 as well as Assad loyalist storming the Embassy in Syria.
I failed to find a cover up that protected a self righteous, sanctimonious narcissist who was running for re-election in those other instances though.
