Inaccurate comparision

Date: 5/22/2013

What you failed to mention in your latest column comparing the attack at Benghazi to those that happened under the previous administration is that the diplomats in Benghazi asked for help when they knew that they were under attack and were denied the assistance that may have helped save their lives.

Also, the discussion by Susan Rice and others following this event has been proven to be known to be untrue at the time. You cited the reduction in spending as a cause in this case, but when discussed in hearings those in charge said that it had no impact on what occurred. Knowing this, as I'm sure that you do by now, shows your talking points to be an inaccurate comparison.

It's a shame that a once nice little neighborhood shopping paper is allowing your column to turn it into a liberal publication.
