No, but I don't take the murder of 4 Americans, including an ambassador, lightly.

In that context, I took the use of the term non-event to mean not a scandal (i.e. not an action or event regarded as morally or legally wrong) by the US government.
The government sends soldiers and diplomats into harm's way all the time. There are no guarantees of safety. Last edited by sexobon; 12-18-2014 at 11:40 AM. Reason: apostrophe deficit |

We've been talking about the relative scandalousness of these two events. One's been the subject of considerable investigation and no vast conspiracy uncovered. The other has had less investigation, but alarming evidence of wrongdoing has been found. That's the difference.

Hillary willing to testify before Benghazi panel
“With all due respect, the fact is, we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or because of guys out for a walk one night who decide to kill some Americans — what difference at this point does it make?” Clinton said. “It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator.” Story here

Rather than me typing it all over, I just quote Griff from last November.

@Lamp - why you asking me? I just noticed the article and thought it relevant. IMO, Hillary wasn't the problem as much as Obama.
Tommy boy - you are another example. Now kindly fuck right on off mmmkay?

What problem? Neither Hillary nor Obama gave the investigating committees a single shred, not a hint of a shred, to build a case on. That's what problem.

Guys, would like the opinion of a guy who has been in a very similar country, under very similar conditions? What I mean is a country like Pakistan, where the threat is very high, in a city like...say Peshawar, away from the Embassy in the capital, with a small consulate, doing a job with a very small footprint with large political (home and geopolitical) implications for just about anything that happens?
I'm just going to tell you up front, if you are a Republican on a witch hunt, you won't want to hear what I have to say.
