POLITICS - House Hearings on Benghazi, For Conspiracy Theorist

"Congress Sorts Through Charges and Counter-Charges in Benghazi Attack Accounts" PBS Newshour 5/9/2013

Excerpt

JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour):  We return to last September's attack on U.S. installations in Benghazi, Libya.

House Speaker John Boehner demanded today that the White House order the State Department to release e-mails related to whom the agency thought was behind the attack.  Yesterday, amid a steady flow of partisan arguing by members of Congress, three State Department officials testified that senior government officials withheld embarrassing facts and didn't take responsibility for security at the Benghazi facilities.

One of the witnesses, former U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission in Libya Gregory Hicks, said he was effectively demoted after he questioned and criticized the State Department's handling of the attack.

To help us sort out some of the facts in the story, I'm joined by Adam Entous of The Wall Street Journal.
