The renewed interest in the Sept. 11, 2012, attack at the U.S. post in Benghazi, Libya, has not shaken Hillary Clinton’s position among potential 2016 contenders, according to a new poll.
The former secretary of state — under fire by conservatives who say she played politics with the attack in which Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others were killed — still leads the potential 2016 Democratic field with 63 percent of the vote in her party, according to a Public Policy Polling poll released Wednesday.
Vice President Joe Biden comes in at second with 13 percent. No other candidate polled higher than 4 percent. The poll was conducted between May 6 and May 9, 2013 — just as the hearings on the Hill were heating up.

It's just that there are a lot of people, even here on FR, who have less than a solid grounding in the history of the Left. Leftist revisionists have worked long and hard to make Pinochet out to be Hitler and have largely succeeded. It was Allende who was the Communist intent on ruining Chile. Pinochet saved that country and has been savaged by the leftist press for his success.
