There are several possibilities.

1. Obama is guilty of masterminding this terrible event but is such an adept obfuscator that Issa & Co are hopelessly outmatched and will never be able to pin him down.

2. Issa & Co are a bunch of incompetent clowns who can't even make this stick to a bumbling fool of a president.

3. The GOP charges are a bunch of bull.

I report.

You decide.
But! But! The Issa crew does still hold the attention of the fringier of the fringe.

You people are going to run out of whitewash.

That's why I tend to trust their reporting.
There was too much contradictory testimony, and this is an effort by the Times to rewrite the history of the event. It looks like they are preparing the way for a Hillary coronation.

I wish they would run out. I think they just keep making more in the basement of the WH.

Those sources, who continue to face threats of losing their jobs, sharply challenged the Times’ findings that there was no involvement from Al Qaeda or any other international terror group and that an anti-Islam film played a role in inciting the initial wave of attacks.

“It was a coordinated attack. It is completely false to say anything else. … It is completely a lie,†one witness to the attack told Fox News.

Sean Smith, a foreign service officer, and former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were also killed in the 2012 assault.

The controversial Times report has stirred a community that normally remains out of sight and wrestles with how to reveal the truth, without revealing classified information."
Sorry but sources mean nothing. Why don't all these sources come out of the closet and identify themselves instead of hiding? I know why, because they don't exist.

I agree. I also saw the interview of the journalist yesterday. The Times did an extremely long comprehensive on-the-ground local investigation--something the republican Benghazi hysterics never did. The journalist said there were things that the admin got wrong, as well, which is why I believe they are being objective. Issa can't stand it--his sputtering denials on the Sunday shows reminded me of Karl Rove telling Fox they were wrong on election night after Obama won.

The reason sources are kept confidential in general is because there would be no sources ever if they were not. Why don't they come out in the open? If you were a Libyan or Mideastern source--would you come out in the open? If you have not noticed, things are a bit volatile, violent and tribal there. Have you ever seen Richard Engel's reports from the Mideast? He knows all kinds of things the politicians do not because his sources are confidential and trust him to keep them that way.

Oh, bullflop. Quit making excuses for Hillary and Obama. Even Democrats who know better than you or the NYT disagree.

Congress, in bipartisan tone, disputes report Al Qaeda not involved in deadly Benghazi attack | Fox News

Sources for reporters aren't sworn in under oath to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth under penalty of law as they would to testify before Congress in a congressional investigation.
