to why that was done. some will say there might be a political implication. others say it s an important security measure to find out who did it, to find them and catch them and so forth. it s new texture today that adds something to this. republicans are critical to sue za zan rice. if she was aware there was more of a theory about al qaeda or other extremist terrorists being involved maybe she leaned too far into the discussion of spontaneous demonstrations and so forth. that s really a political conversation that people are hashing out. the importance of what was talked about today, i think, is really trying to get to the bottom of what was happening on the ground, what could the cia, state department, others have done differently, and what needs to be done for other consulates and embassies in hostile places. there are really serious issues here in addition to part of the political conversation that certainly has em broiled susan
