Special ops veterans’ group calls for select probe of Benghazi attack
Fox News ^ | Apr. 5 , 2013 | Catherine Herridge

More than 700 Special Operations veterans are urging members of Congress to back a select committee to investigate last year’s Benghazi terrorist attack, according to a letter first obtained by Fox News.

The letter from the group, “Special Operations Speaks,” supports the appointment of a special committee tasked with the single mission of investigating the attack that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, and shut down the CIA operation in an annex of the Benghazi consulate, in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack.

“Congress must show some leadership and provide answers to the public as to what actually occurred in Benghazi. Americans have a right to demand a full accounting on this issue," the letter stated.

Special Operations Speaks is a political action committee whose primary mission is to “emphasize the pressing need for the nation and its representatives to understand the value of our Constitution and actively support a return to its application in all phases of government,” according to the group’s website.

The group received widespread publicity for its stance against what it described as damaging information leaks related to the raid that killed Usama bin Laden in May 2011.

The letter includes more than 16 points of possible investigation for the proposed committee.

Nice gesture, but the media won’t report it, the people won’t know about it, the Democrats will ignore it, and the GOP will be too spineless to push it.

Wow, I for one chose to remain hopeful. When hope is gone, the dark is far too powerful, imho.

Media Matters has now got involved and run a story stating the Navy Seal behind the letter is a birther. It’s apparent that they (the liberal MSM) are going to use the birther angle to marginalize them as conspiracy theorists.

Let's get to Benghazi cover up after someone goes to prison for the killing of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. That has been simmering on the back burner for almost TWO years.
