In their haste to further politicize the Benghazi attacks, Rep. Darrell Issa puts 166 pages of sensitive documents publicly exposing the name of Libyans working for the U.S.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) compromised the identities of several Libyans working with the U.S. government and placed their lives in danger when he released reams of State Department communications Friday, according to Obama administration officials.

It appears that the authors of the documents determined them to be "Senstive but Unclassified". There is a difference between "sensitive" and "classified".

Where are the names of the Libyans working for the US? Were they civiliarns working undercover or were they people from the Libyan political or military sector? I'm sure the terrorists know who the people are in the political and military circles working with the US.

It appears that certain info (names) have been redacted. I would think the names of civilian Libyans who would have been put at risk and working for the US would have been redacted as well.

What's wrong about showing the American people that the administration is so inept that for two weeks it told us a falsehood? It was never a spontaneous protest as a result of a video. The Obama administration knew it was false and still said it on all the news talk shows and at the United Nations.

It is also known that the Ambassador begged for more security repeatedly and was denied. Warning his superiors that terrorism was on the rise.

If it were President Bush in this situation, Democrats would have been calling for his head. And everybody knows it.


The American people deserve to know this about Obama and his Department of State before the election.

The American people should decide whether or not to re-elect Obama, without a cover-up.

We'll find out how Axelrod has told him to spin this during the debate on Monday night.

Republicans get more good people killed to further their personal political ambitions. It's just like how they've kept trying to make the economy worse in hopes that it will help them in the election. They're just anti-American and anyone who would reward them for such treason is a fool.

You're missing the point. Sensitive information was released which put people in danger and lives at risk in this huge document dump by a politically motivated Issa.

Don't blame Issa. Blame the person who set the classification of those documents.

So ...... who are you voting for?


Some voters may not find it so insignificant while watching Obama try to weasel out of his Benghazi problem during the debate.

Did you read all 166 pages? Did you find where they named Libyan civilians working for the government, because those are the only people who would be at risk.

Get back to me when you can pull a quote from the 166 pages where they name civilians.

Yes, let's re-elect Obama for his act of treason.

"But Issa didn't bother to redact the names of Libyan civilians and local leaders mentioned in the cables, and just as with the WikiLeaks dump of State Department cables last year, the administration says that Issa has done damage to U.S. efforts to work with those Libyans and exposed them to physical danger from the very groups that had an interest in attacking the U.S. consulate."
