Lawmaker: Benghazi details provided at pricey conference, but not given to Congress

Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) on Tuesday criticized the decision of former Gen. Carter Ham to offer details about last year's Benghazi attack at a public conference, after offering testimony to Congress on Benghazi behind closed doors that has still left Congress with questions.

Wolf, who has pushed for a special committee to investigate the attack in Libya that left four Americans dead, said Congress still has unanswered questions due to the "secretive nature" of the investigation so far. He said that makes Ham's remarks last week — at an event people had to pay $1,200 to attend — even more egregious.

"That is why I was surprised to hear comments made by Gen. Ham at the Aspen Security Forum last week, where he spoke freely — freely — about the U.S. response to the attack," Wolf said on the House floor.

Sounds like Ham is a very willing witness. It is not his fault the self-aggrandized stooges in Congress, including Republicans, can’t get their dim wits together enough to muster a decent investigation.

My nephew served under Ham’s command. He says Ham is one of the good guys. I don’t have much confidence in congress-critters who would criticize him. Ham has a better record than 99.9% of them.
