Stay Tuned Today

At 9:00 this morning, The Secretary of State will appear before a public meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee regarding the September 11th attack in Benghazi.
at 2:00 pm, she will meet with the House Foreign Affairs  Committee to discuss the same topic. Lawmakers continue to have many questions regarding the government's reaction, or lack thereof, on the terrorist attacks on the U.S. Consulate in which the American  Ambassador, and three other Americans, were killed. More troubling, perhaps, was the government-issued explanation which pointed to a spontaneous civil demonstration on the attack, rather than an organized terrorist attack. This explanatory disconnect, which was allowed to stand long after the truth was generally known, raised many questions, most still unanswered.

In our most recent post, we suggested that Madam Secretary might well leave office without appearing before congressional committees. We are pleased that she has finally heeded the call to appear and answer questions. Apparently she will do the former. We hope that she will also provide the widely sought information that is sorely needed to begin to heal this wound to the national psyche
