Thread:Comments:White House releases Benghazi emails/This flap about e-mails is IMHO a distraction

Of course some people care about how the gov. tries to "spin" certain stories, perhaps to achieve certain "political" goals... which a given taxpayer^H^H^H voter might or might not like. Those people will probably love this story.

However, IMHO it would be more interesting to find out more about what happened before (and, during) the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. Were there some administration officials, or people from the FBI or the CIA or the military, etc., who made decisions based on some ulterior motives that we do not [now] know about? Did they perhaps give lower priority THEN, to protecting the lives of our ambassador and other Americans in Libya? (lower than the priority of achieving some "other" objectives? -- goals that [perhaps] we are not hearing about?)

I think there might be "more to" this story, than what has become publicly known "so far". IMHO that is the real story. YMMV.
