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

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.

  Benghazi Attorney’s Major Assertion: ‘Reason to Believe’ People Who ‘Insisted’ on Military Response That Night Were ‘Relieved of Their Duty’:

  Several top ranking officers were 'canned' right after the attack...but never explained by the WH.

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?

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.

  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.

    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.

        I was surprised 60 minutes even touched this. When I saw it was her it made sense.

        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.

        I didn't realize that Orbach had that good a voice.
        
        Many familiar faces in that montage!

You can't incarcerate the President-presumptive for 2016. How would that look on her campaign material?

  She said "what possible difference does it make now" and Democrats applauded her toughness. We still have Americans in harms way. We need to know what happened and why so it doesn't happen again. Disgusting that this is still being covered up.

      The next appointment of note that I know of is Bernanke's replacement at the FED. Are there any coming up sooner?

        It looks like Bernanke is swinging in the wind, as to moving to the IMF, as well as a handful of others:

        We need a big time appointment for the press to cover it. EPA might do it.
