State Department's Benghazi review panel under investigation, Fox News confirms

James Rosen

The State Department's Office of Inspector General is investigating the special internal panel that probed the Benghazi terror attack for the State Department, Fox News has confirmed.

The IG's office is said by well-placed sources to be seeking to determine whether the Accountability Review Board, or ARB -- led by former U.N. Ambassador Thomas Pickering and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen -- failed to interview key witnesses who had asked to provide their accounts of the Benghazi attacks to the panel.

The IG's office notified the department of the "special review" on March 28, according to Doug Welty, the congressional and public affairs officer of the IG's office.

This disclosure marks a significant turn in the ongoing Benghazi case, as it calls into question the reliability of the blue-ribbon panel that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton convened to review the entire matter. Until the report was concluded, she and all other senior Obama administration officials regularly refused to answer questions about what happened in Benghazi.

I’ve always trusted the various IG’s to get the job done-—if you could get them started. This particular IG has a chance to either maintain the faith in them or forever destroy faith in the IG system -——aaaannnndddd make me buy more bullets.

I hate seeing that picture, it’s heartbreaking.

IF we were to do anything the way the vile commies do, we’d be making flyers of that photo and sending it off to every congressman/woman and all their sneaky little aides.

But alas, we have far too much class.

Understand your question:
This needs it's own thread for MAX eyes to see it.
How can we do that....we have a lot of Headline readers that
won't get down this deep in a thread.

Can we have some guidelines as to the best way for the
system
to do this.? Since it really isn't a news article.

I do not have an answer, other then John would either
have to hard code a temporary ICON into home page with
a visible title, or write some code into the home page program
that would repeat the thread's title in say breaking news
box on the right of the home page. That would repeat for given
number of say days

My guess is that this isn’t going to fly with We The People.

Who do you thing "We The People" are comprised of ? Contrary to the implication in your comments, it is not a monolithic group of like-minded people. Conspiracy theories notwithstanding, I would guess we are outnumbered. It would help if more non-liberals would actually register and vote for whatever candidate is running second to the Democrat ...

I would probably sit that election out. Christie is a gun grabbing POS. And a fat one at that.

Great. So the State Department is officially investigating it’s own navel.

“Just yesterday, WH Press Secy Jay Carney said that “Benghazi happened a long time ago”!”

Bush happened a longer time ago, but they still harp on him.

They are counting on the media to keep the LIvoters to be distracted by other news.

Like kerry and Biden having a ceremony to honor the four that were killed.

To me it said “make sure they’re all dead”. Seems obvious to me he wanted them dead, all dead. He’s a dangerous hollow puppet that Barry Davis.

On the afternoon of Sept 11, last year, I was tuned in to the radio news.

When I reached car line, I jumped out and announced that the Embassy had been taken and they were storming the Embassy in Egypt and our Administration was apologizing for something we did to cause it.

The Embassy!

It was outrageous.

I STILL, occasionally write to Hannity et al and beg them to stop saying “four dead Americans”.

They are not educating conservative thought when they do this, they are on the other side.

It was the Embassy.

BO doesn’t realize it can not go away. Our enemies certainly know what this administration will do to protect its representatives overseas - let ‘em die, what difference does it make, the statue of limitations is a couple of months after evasion.
