(Reuters) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Thursday she was forming a panel to investigate the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other U.S. officials.

The panel, whose creation is generally required by law when someone is killed or seriously injured at a U.S. mission abroad, will be chaired by Thomas Pickering, a retired diplomat who served as U.S. ambassador to Russia, India, Israel, Nigeria, El Salvador, Jordan and at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations.

October surprise? If she finds out that Obama was effectively behind the attack - will she out him?

She probably asked Holder if she can borrow his IG.

Nothing but a full-fledged whitewash will suffice.

As hinky as having Jamie Gorelick chair the 911 Commission.

People who should be investigated doing the investigating.

Are all the members Imams, Jihadis, Muslim clerics and Sharia judges or just the majority?

Early findings Obama, Clinton had no knowledge. They were in the WH viewing some movie about Mohammad. For good measure add Holder.

LOL! At least the “report” will say all of the things Barry and Hillary want it to say. Maybe they can use the guys who did the “Fast and Furious report”. They aren’t doing anything now.

Oooooohhhhha a panel! That makes everything better. Someone should go open Chris Steven’s casket to tell him the good news when he wonders why he’s suddenly alive again. That poor man, sold out by the his boss at the State Department and the man who appointed him to the position. God rest his soul. Hopefully there will be justice for this, but I doubt it. Methinks panel = exoneration committee

But I thought the State Dept was depending on the FBI?

These latest coverups and parsings remind me oh-so-much of the 90's when the Clinton were in the WH.

BAD memories.

Dear Hillary:

Glad to see you are looking into this fiasco.

Make sure that you emphasize to the the investigating team that the key thing they need to determine is WHERE WERE THE MARINES. And, you need to make sure that whoever made the decision to “keep a low profile” and hire civilians to do the Marines job will be retired to some pleasant place with bars and striped suits.

PS: I realize that some of this make hit pretty darn close to home.

We don't need no stinkin panel.

We know:
State Department and WH were warned 72 hours before attack.
We know Ambassador Stevens knew he was on a terrorist hit list one month before he was killed

And, we are quite sure that either the WH or the State Department or both were responsible for the cover up in the form of the anti-Islam trailer.
