Good grief, not this old dried-up fake story again.

The right wing narrative on the attacks against the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi is now well-established. It goes something like this: The Obama administration lied when they initially said the attack was provoked by an American-made anti-Islam video. Actually, it was a well-planned Al Qaeda terror attack that had ...
