This is not a political piece! This is all about four Americans being dead, at the hands of Islamic terrorists, and how the Federal government responded, before, during, and after the attack!
We Americans need to understand what happened, and we need to be expecting appropriate accountability, and changes in embassy security practices. And the "world" needs to understand the American resolve!!

Expecting the truth by politicians. :o
YEP! Politicians, first and last, are nothing more than just "people", like everyone else. But, "we the people" should make it very clear, by specific action and law, that lying/not telling the truth, on any matter, by any government employee, will be swiftly challenged and dealt with in the courts.
And that also should extend to anyone running for a government office, at any level!

I completely agree with you, for once. :)
Not every person in politics is corrupt. The problem is that currently (inevitably due to money in a system dominated by capital) the system makes it more likely corrupt politicians succeed. A good case in point would be George Bush lost to Al Gore but was cheated into office. Very sad. :(
It is up to honest people to challenge these corrupt bastards and I agree that the law can be a tool in the fight but even the court was politically weighted to favour a Republican into office.
