Vets Want Benghazi Testimony Made Public
US News & World Report ^ | June 25, 2013 | By Emily Stanton

With a former head of U.S. Africa Command scheduled to testify at a closed-door hearing Wednesday about the events surrounding last year's attack on an American outpost in Benghazi, former members of the military are demanding the hearings be made public.

OPSEC, a grassroots advocacy organization composed of former members of the intelligence community and special operations forces, has launched an online petition calling for an end to closed-door hearings on the Benghazi attacks.

"Americans have been demanding answers on the lack of a U.S. military response to the attack in Benghazi, but what they're getting in reply are committee room doors slammed in their faces," Scott Taylor, president of OPSEC, said in a press release.

Can you imagine if someone from NBC, CBS, or ABC actually COVERED this with a live Feed? There would be he%&& to pay from the Obama admin but perhaps the truth might strike America before she dies from the strangling our politicians are doing to us as I write this!

Well, if we had a Repub Prez it would be the “news” media demanding live public hearings, and they would broadcast it live, with running commentary by (what else) liberal Dems!

The testimony absolutely needs to be public. America has an obligation to pursue the real facts. Our nation has got to get down to the truth on this situation and every other scandal/tragedy. We need to get back to “We, the people . . . “ We have a right to know.

But, but, but these revelations would make it look like Madame Benghazi, Herself (the Cold and Joyless), is less than competent, a personality trait that the obedient MSM has tried to keep camouflaged and out of sight for years.

Are you trying to undo all their hard work? What kind of cruel monsters would pick on the “smartest woman in the world” and try to make her appear to be out of touch and largely clueless in the face of events?

Nobody is really TRYING to make Madame Benghazi appear to be out of touch and clueless. After all, she DID have a concussion, and perhaps her memory really is that impaired.

That should be a caution flag right there. What other mental capabilities were also lost?

These close doors testimonies are evidence that we will never know what really happened at Benghazi. Government is no longer responsible to the people.

Maybe we’ll find out the truth about Gen Ham and Adm Gaouette.

At the risk of sounding pompous, I'd like to point out that NJ has no District Attorneys; they are Prosecutors. Hence, the author of the original article did not do even enough research to provide the correct nomenclature. Just saying.

OPSEC? OPSEC hell!All veterans should be demanding open hearings on this. Whatever happened to “No man left behind?” Or was that just a catchy phrase?
