The Cover-up

Representative Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) is complaining that he is being denied access to the survivors of the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya on this past September 11^th ... in which four Americans died, including our Ambassador (see: Breitbart Story ).  He can’t even get the survivors’s names … or know exactly how many there were.  How can this be?  How can the complete story of what happened in Benghazi come out if our government is managing the news of this event so closely … even to the point of keep the survivors incognito for over three months?  We are obviously violating at least two fundamental rights of these survivors … to be known and to tell what they know?

There is only one easy answer to these questions.  There are things that must have occurred that night in Benghazi that are so embarrassing to this Administration that they need to squash the facts and any access to these facts.  In truth, even Susan Rice’s withdrawal from consideration as Secretary of State is probably part of this cover-up.  If Ambassador Rice were to be closely interrogated about Benghazi as part of her confirmation process, incriminating facts were very likely to have come out … which might open up new avenues of Congressional inquiry … and maybe even investigative reporting (gasp!.)  An insidious quilt of secrecy is being pulled over this Benghazi event which should be anathema to any clear-thinking American.

And, from what we learned about what happened to Nixon during Watergate, it’s not the crime that is so damaging … it is the cover-up.  And, like what happened in the early 1970’s, it may take a few years, but the public will eventually find out the truth.  And, considering the frantic efforts currently being made to thwart this investigation, I think the truth will likely be very devastating.
