From RealClearPolitics. "The cover-up is worse than a third string burglary." The scandal is compared to Watergate when Nixon tried to hide that scandal--this is a pretty stiff charge.
This cover-up, like that in Watergate, goes right to the top. What's
being covered up is much worse than a "third rate burglary." Why was
security so lax? Why were the ambassador's pleas for more turned down?
Why did the president lie? Americans have a right to know. Few in the
media have tried to find out.
Appeals to their integrity are unlikely to get "mainstream"
journalists to do their jobs, since they have so little of it. Self
preservation may. The leaked emails expose journalists who touted the
administration's story as gullible chumps, corrupt shills, or both.
Spooks and diplomats are angry at the attempt to make them
scapegoats; furious that the president didn't lift a finger to help
their comrades in the consulate during the seven-hour siege. More leaks
may be on the way. If they fail to follow up, journalists could lose
more credibility than the president. They haven't much credibility left
to lose.
More on a coverup. Obama refused to give permission to help the Benghazi diplomats even when Hillary requested it--an interview with author Ed Klein.
Background on what Ambassador Stevens was doing. The Libya to Syria weapons pipeline was involved.
From WAPO. What was the NSC doing? The President had some kind of briefing on 9/10?
