GOP witchhunt on Benghazi? No, search for the facts

BARBARA ESTABROOK wrongly includes the inquiry into the Benghazi murders in her diatribe against the GOP for launching what she sees as frivolous investigations (“On Libya inquiry, GOP goes haywire,” Letters, Dec. 25).

American lives were lost in the attack on the US consulate, and the families of those grieving families deserve answers. It is grossly unfair to categorize the investigation into that tragedy as a GOP vendetta.

he four state department officials reported to have "resigned effective immediately" or been "relieved of their responsibilities" in the wake of the State Department internal analysis on the U.S. Consulate attack in Benghazi, Libya aren't going away after all.

The New York Post is reporting that the highest ranking of the group, Assitant Secretary of State Eric Boswell, is "just switching desks" within the State Department.  The other three are on "administrative leave and are expected back" on the job.

Would the Republicans and Fox News have been as loudly vigorous if it were not so close to election day?  They're always looking for, or CREATING an October surprise and this was their chance.  Yes, there are many questions that need to be answered, and now that the election is over, Fox and the Republicans seem to have lost their previous vigor.  They're acting more like any political opposition by pursuing answers while not foaming at the mouth just as they were before the election.
