In reply to the discussion: Congress to investigate Benghazi 'talking points' [View all]AntiFascist
(13,751 posts)31. One prevailing right-wing conspiracy theory...
is that the "Obama regime" was arranging for the kidnap of Stevens as an October surprise to make the release of Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman more palatable, but then something went wrong. This is based on someone's leak. Just do a Google search on "Benghazi Stevens kidnap".
A more believable leak states that Stevens was monitoring the flow of arms from Libya to Al Qaeda linked parties in Syria. The right-wing is inventing a story to make Obama out as the bad guy, when it is really the neocons who are deep into the nefarious dealings. Feinstein obviously wants to get to the bottom of it, but I'll be surprised if the truth is ever made public. People are more interested in sexual misconduct anyway.

Call me stupid, but I guess I don't understand the "problem". Is it that Susan Rice said the best

I thought Petraeus said Friday that he approved the "unclassified" version of the talking points

Will any reporter ever tell the truth about what was really said by Susan Rice?

This was all covered in Petraeus's testimony. This is a waste of time

You know how police can't say everything they know to avoid revealing stuff to bad guys?
