you are right. Lost in the discussion is the fact that Stevens wasn't at the embassy in Libya, it was well defended. He was off with the CIA in a villa in Benghazi. What was he doing there would have been a good question for Darrell Issa to ask. Since the CIA was involved we will never know the truth and that suits the Repugs just fine, they can make shit up. Notice also how Repug presidential wannabe, David Petraeus is getting a pass in all of this, even though it was a CIA villa.
