WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican senators are demanding that the Obama administration make public the surveillance video taken during last month's deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya, which killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.

Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte wrote to President Barack Obama's defense secretary, CIA director and attorney general demanding that the video be declassified.

In the run-up to the presidential election, Republicans have accused the Obama administration of distorting the account of the attack on Sept. 11 that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. Officials first blamed it on a mob set into motion by an anti-Islamic film. Obama administration officials have pointed to U.S. intelligence reports that showed conflicting information. Administration officials did not respond to requests for comment.

Won't work, but worth doing. There will be plenty of stonewalling, with whining about the Republicans 'playing political football,' I'm sure.

When you see these 2 names Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham individually let alone together, you know absolutely nothing will get done. They protect the left more than the left does ...

I’m honestly surprised that the AP even covered it.

Then why even bother to do it? I’m sure you’ll say posturing, but I don’t think they gain much from it.

Oh, sure, this from McLame who promised we didn't have to be afraid of Obama. We wouldn't be in this situation and four families wouldn't be having to bury their loved ones if the Senate had had the guts to demand the usurper's records 4.5 years ago.

I am certainly not a fan of McCain, but I do believe he understands the magnitude of this, and I think he will do what is necessary.

This is futile gesture.

It mollify the Right that some ones (our betters) seemed to be doing something.

Actually all it did is buy more time for Obama till after the election.

The State Department, the Pentagon, and a bunch of other departments in dc have the same information and video that the Republicans are asking for. This is just a bunch of political grandstanding. Who are these elected Republicans? People who didn’t have the courage to wear the uniform or put their lives on the line for this country. Grandstanding, to make themselves look “interested”.
