5. +1. Ambassador Chris Stevens' presence there, along with the CIA station

which ran militias into Syria has always seemed like a no-brainer that Chris Stevens' was facilitating or participating in the covert operations. Plus the fact Benghazi was a holding station for prisoners meant it was always going to be a target for extremists looking to free their buddies.

Furthermore, Fox news' bullshit allowed Petraeus' role in this affair to be covered up. He had to have been in it up to his eyeballs imho.

I doubt we'll ever know the full extent of what happened there. The Republicans probably know that the Admin can't ever disclose the real facts so they have carte blanche to pound the drums of "cover-up" in order to smear the President.
