What a contrast! [View all]

from our good friend, Bartcop:

Three thousand people died on 9/11 and Bush and Cheney were questioned in a closed session.

Four people died in Benghazi and Hillary Clinton was questioned in public.

Does anybody besides me think this is wrong?

-- Eckhard

I also think it's wrong. And I'd like to see Bush and Cheney held to account for their lies, actions and inactions that led to the deaths of a million Iraqis and 6,663 Americans, and plundered trillions from the U.S. Treasury for their cronies.
