The families of four dead Americans now have a better chance of knowing the true story surrounding their loved ones deaths. A U.S. court finally acted on a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit (by a private organization, not because of Congressional requests) and released a “smoking gun” email from President Obama’s deputy national security adviser detailing the administration’s story that an Internet video was to be blamed for the Benghazi terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2012. The email further stated that the cover story was to be promoted to divert attention from Barack Obama’s failed foreign policy. Under no circumstances, two months before the election, was the truth to be told.
So the president lied, repeatedly, and sent Susan Rice out to the morning shows to lie also. He and his cronies lied about the video that no one has seen and then lied to cover up the lies. This is a very serious offense, some say an impeachable offense, yet few media outlets other than Fox News reported on it. The New York Times put it on page 17. There was not a word printed about it in the Everett Herald. You have done a good job covering the Oso tragedy, it is shameful that you fail to run wire service news that is so vital to our national well-being.
Meanwhile, an American citizen languishes in jail for 19 months and counting for the audacity of making a video (which no-one seems to have seen) expressing his views of radical Islam. What was he charged with? Was he ever convicted of anything? Really, is this the new American justice?
