Just out ... CNNBRK tweets "Charges filed against leader of Libyan militia in Benghazi attack, sources say. Developing story.". We will see where this goes.

Can't happen. I've been told with great authority here on C-D that nothing was done about Benghazi perpetrators because the President doesn't care and spends all his time golfing. Certainly there can't have been any kind of investigation or effort put into finding the guilty party. Obama's a Muslim, after all.

Charges are good, but good luck trying to act on them and arrest a militia leader in Libya. Maybe it gives legitimacy to dropping a bomb on him.

Well they had to do something and do it quick. They can't even tell us what the charges are since that's a secret still.

Once CNN found him and interviewed him their "search" turned into a bogus story.
Had to save face here that CNN did a better job of the FBI/CIA/NSA finding him.

Yes, why should we spend time upset about terrorist attacks on American embassies and proven government coverups over it when we could much more productively spend our time discussing how Republicans are waging a war on women by asking them to go to Walmart and buy their own birth control.

Is the guy in custody?

If so, then that's a good start. And it only took them a year.

When will we file charges against the people who reduced the American guard contingent in the Benghazi compound to three, in the months before the attack, despite continued shootings, attacks against our convoys, bombs blowing holes in the wall etc.?
