I don't watch 60 minutes any longer but my brother called my attention to this story. I thought it was interesting.

    The Benghazi response was in large part influenced by the CRP “The Committee for the Re-Election of the President , abbreviated CRP but often mocked by the acronym CREEP”
    So, if you go to the Radiohead song, it goes like this:

    “I don't care if it hurts
    I want to have control
    I want a perfect body
    I want a perfect soul
    I want you to notice when I'm not around
    You're so f**king special
    I wish I was special

    But I'm a creep
    I'm a weirdo
    What the hell am I doing here?
    I don't belong here”
    pretty appropriate, dontcha’ think?

    Close your eyes, and say 'do I have to be in distress...do I have to be in tisdress...do I have to be in this dress'.

    Ah, there is my epiphany! And it was the first that I have seen since the Ringling Brothers came through town.

    Good point John. They don't have to crush her but if they talk about her experience it may appear that she is on a witch hunt.

    The Benghazi assault haunts me. It is still shocking and painful. I am going to read Mr. Jones' book, though it will most likely illuminate more horror on behalf of the US government.

    They will probably imply because of her experience in Egypt, she is now leaning anti-Islamist. You know, the slight wink and nudge thing, among friends. Not enough to prove outright bias but enough to cast a shadow here and there on her reporting and objectivity.

    It just occurred to me that Lara Logan did this story. She is the one who was sexually assaulted in Egypt. Be hard for the administration to discredit her. Hope she keeps up the pressure.
