Editor’s Note: WND asked national security expert Michael Maloof, a senior staff writer, to assemble the unanswered questions for Benghazi-gate:
WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s lack of answers at her recent appearance before Congress on the attack on the U.S. operation in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012, has prompted further concerns that the American public is no closer now to knowing what happened – more than four months after the event.
Next up will be Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who is scheduled to testify Thursday.
Specific questions which Clinton and other Obama administration officials haven’t answered, but should, include:
- What did you know, and when did you know about the standoff occurring in Benghazi?
- Why did President Obama declare publicly in initial comments only hours following the Benghazi attack that it indeed was a terrorist attack but later in a CBS interview backtracked by saying that it was too early to determine whether it was a terrorist attack?
- What were events that led to him backtracking on his initial assessment in which he clearly had been advised initially that it was a terrorist attack and there reportedly were live feeds from overhead drones showing the attack?
- Were Obama and Clinton informed at the time the attack was unfolding? If so, what orders did Clinton give to seek to secure the facility?
