  1. Partisan political bubbles distort Benghazi facts

    How you feel about Benghazi very likely has everything to do with your political leanings. If you think the Obama administration is covering up a scandal bigger than Watergate, you are almost certainly a Republican. If you think Republicans in Congress are simply trying to gain political advantage by exploiting the terrorist attack against the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last Sept. 11, you are very likely a Democrat.

  5. Nobody died at Watergate, but it was a bigger scandal than Benghazi

    Before Wednesday's hearing into last September&rsquo;s attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said: &ldquo;If you link Watergate and Iran-<em>Contra</em> together and multiply it maybe by 10 or so, you&rsquo;re going to get in the zone where Benghazi is.&rdquo; Not even close.

  7. Ridiculous Republican rhetoric undermines Benghazi probe

    Republicans could make an easy hit on the Obama administration by highlighting the State Department&rsquo;s apparent bureaucratic blundering during and after the deadly terrorist attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last fall, but they refuse to settle for such a small political prize. Instead, they have got themselves all steamed up and snarling about heinous, impeachable offenses that are figments of their imaginations.
