I agree with you completely about the 'need' for impeachment. These hearings are going to prove to be a watershed event ... do or die ... in the history of our republic. I was no fan of Richard Nixon, but the media showed their growing-toward-unbridled power forty years ago when they held onto the Watergate story like a dog with a bone, and, in effect, hounded a sitting president out of office. They acted much the same during Iran Contra more than a decade later. Both of those 'scandals' pale in comparison with the crimes this president has committed. Although Benghazi is only one of this administration's scandal/impeachment-worthy actions, it is the one that probably should arouse the most passion among the populace, and among our leadership. A president, and his secretary of state, refused available aid to four courageous Americans who were under terrorist attack. They did so because providing that aid would have clouded the mirage they had created in the minds of the American people (i.e., that terrorism was waning). And they lied, over and over again, about the cause of the massacre, and their response (or, better said, lack of one) to it. Almost eight months have elapsed since their partisan cowardice resulted in the deaths of Stevens, Smith, Doherty and Woods, and the media have been successful in keeping the potential scandal pretty much under wraps (no small undertaking). Yet, if anything is going to bring the truth to light, it will be these hearings. They will represent America's last chance to discover what actually happened before, during, and after the massacre. If the media continue to succeed in (1) their downplaying of the inaction and lies on the part of the administration, (2) their demonizing of those who simply wish to have the truth known, and (3) their refusal to cover this story with the press attention it rightfully deserves, I am afraid the majority of the American people ... those who do not take it upon themselves to do their own research and seek out truths that are not unearthed in their nightly dosage of ABC/NBC/CBS/MSNBC pablum ... will never know the depth of the evil that their 'leadership' perpetrated on 9/11/12, and afterwards. And the history books will not be informing future generations of Americans either. If this administration, and this secretary of state, pay no meaningful price for their actions, the American mainstream media will have declared themselves every bit as powerful as any of our elected representatives ... accountable to no one but their own political favorites. And the American people will have betrayed our Founders, who consistently warned us that the most powerful weapon against tyranny in a free republic is citizen vigilance.
