re: #96 Obdicut

So why is this a subject where the motivation is of immediate concern to publicly nail down? That’s the part I really don’t get about this. SFZ is curious about it. That makes sense. Is it just interest for you as well?

I don’t have any relatives stationed in Middle Eastern consulates or anything like that, no.

I’m interested because if there is a reason why this attack did more damage than the others, it might be helpful to know what that reason is. Obviously it’s not my job to investigate and discover that reason or reasons, but if politically-motivated obfuscations are going to interfere with the process of reaching the necessary conclusions then that is something I get concerned about.

Or, maybe more applicable to this thread: if you ask me to choose between “the right is always wrong” camp and the “truth” camp, I would put myself in the “truth” camp. Of course, so would Charles. 99.999% of the time these days that Venn diagram has a nearly perfect correlation, but it’s starting to look to me like the Benghazi attack is a data point that has drifted outside the overlap.

I dunno. Maybe I just need to watch the “confession” video again. Google is only giving me links to video news reports about Ansar al-Sharia getting driven out of their bases… anybody have a link?
