    This “report” is more whitewash and obsfucation by the administration. Congress needs to get these people under oath and ask the function of the CIA operation in Benghazi. If the USA was/is running guns through Turkey to the Syrian rebels, it is under-standable, from administrations point of view, to hide this from the public. To give this kind of operation government protection would blow the whole deal. The public cannot know that we are arming the very people that are trying to destroy this country!
