Poll shows strong demand for select committee on Benghazi attack

Washington Times:
A new bipartisan poll finds that most Americans support creation of a special congressional committee to investigate events surrounding the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attacks on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya.

Among voters who were polled, 62 percent believe “it is important” for Congress to establish a singular committee to address unanswered questions about the bombing in Benghazi, Libya, that claimed four American lives, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, according to pollsters John McLaughlin, a Republican, and Pat Caddell, a Democrat.

More than 80 percent of Republicans and 58 percent of independents also support creation of a special panel to assess the security levels prior to the attack, and to hold accountable officials in the Obama administration who have been accused of covering up alleged failures to maintain those levels.

And nearly half of Democrats don’t believe the administration “has been honest and forthcoming” about the Benghazi attacks, the poll found, along with 89 percent of Republicans and 63 percent of independents.

This issue is not going away.  It is time for both parties to stop blocking a select committee and break through the administration's intransigence.   This is another issue that is going to hurt the Democrats if they continue to stonewall.
