    false

    This "witness" is a British soldier who didn't even want to give his real name for the interview. Obviously he has an axe to grind for some reason.

    This "witness" is also someone vetted by 60 Minutes and apparently don't hold your contempt for the man. So much so that they put the integrity of their program behind his statements.

    But keep banging that drum for Hillary "What difference does it make" Clinton. I'm sure she appreciates the vapid, useful idiot loyalty.

    Your insults against another poster ring hollow. You can't really take the "I'm smarter" ground -- historically, you are just fitting a pattern of embracing things that support your preformed point of view and rejecting things that don't fit. All humans do this, to varying extent, and now it's a national pastime.

    60 minutes, once a hated part of the "liberal(sic) mainstream media" is now a great investigative organization.

    Also, someone who cared passionately about embassy safety before Fox News decided to put Benghazi on heavy rotation would have extra weight to throw around here. I had never seen the issue raised in dozens of attacks (and death accompanying those attacks) in prior years.

    I'm sure the families of the 4 dead americans could care less about politics or "a pattern of embracing things, or "preformed points of view" or whatever else is spewed by those that drink the kool aid.

    But what I'm confident they DO care about is what happened to their family members and what's been done to bring those that perpetrated this attack to justice.

    And so far, this administration has FAILED in their duty with regards to those items. No amount of spin can change that.

    Steven's father begged people to let his son rest and not inject politics into a very tragic situation. And has accepted the admin's explination of what happened.

    take your own advice.

    Ok and what about the other 3 families? Or do they not count?

    A very tragic situation but no, they don't.

    The other three brave men were members of the military and understood their job and accepted the responsibilities. God bless them and their families.

    Wrong.

    Sean Smith was an information management officer working for the State Dept.
    Tyrone Woods was a security officer also working for the State Dept.
    Glen Doherty was under contract with the State Dept to find and destroy shoulder launched surface to air missiles.

    SMH. Democrat lawmakers won't face questions from the families. Cowards.

    Apparently, the President, VP and former SecDef and former SecState disagree with your assertion the families don't deserve answers.

    Apparently however, they never had any intention whatsoever to keep their promise to this woman. And here we stand over a year later with no arrests, no accountability, nothing but lies, deflection and stonewalling that would make the Nixon administration blush.

    They were CIA sir.

    Anyway, there is no scandal, there never was. Even Issa has given up on it.

    Seriously, you guys just got your asses handed to you with the shutdown and you lost so now we're going back to this? You would think republicans might want to start figuring out how to put heir party back together.

    move on

    I'm certain that 60 Minutes will be shocked to hear they have been characterized as "Republican".

    And why would they run a piece on something that isn't newsworthy?
