FILE - This Sept. 13, 2012 file photo shows a Libyan man investigating the inside of the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, after a deadly attack two days earlier. Two of the four U.S. deaths in the Benghazi attack might have been prevented if military leaders knew more about the intensity of the sporadic gunfire directed at the CIA facility where Americans had taken refuge and they had pressed to get a rescue team there faster. In closed-door, congressional testimony, retired Gen. Carter Ham and other top military commanders described the chaotic night of Sept. 11, 2012, in which they thought Americans were safe, not facing sometimes sustained gunfire throughout the night, and were focused on a potential hostage situation when, in fact, Ambassador Chris Stevens was already dead.

Here's What Hillary Could Say About Trump's Plan To Jail Her
By James Heffernan, Contributor
Dartmouth Professor of English Emeritus
Why not have me shot by firing squad, as the co-chair of your national veterans' coalition--Al Baldasaro--has already proposed? On talk radio last summer, he said that I should be shot for lying about what happened in Benghazi. Just think, Donald, you could make that happen!
An armed libyan man flashes the victory sign in front of a fire at the hardline Islamist group Ansar el-Sharia headquarters on September 21, 2012 in Benghazi, Libya. Hundreds of Libyan protesters forced members of a hardline Islamist militia out of their base in the second city of Benghazi late on September 21, setting fire to and wrecking the compound. Members of the Salafist jihadi group Ansar al-Sharia fired in the air before being forced out of their base by the demonstrators.
