Benghazi<\/a> does not seem to be going away. Yesterday John Hinderaker<\/a> at Power Line<\/a> reported that 700 retired special operations<\/a> military personnel<\/a> have signed a letter to members of the House of Representatives<\/a>, asking them to investigate the Benghazi debacle. This is the link to the letter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The concern of the former special ops personnel is that the American<\/a> policy of leaving no one behind was not followed during the attack. The Ambassador and three other people were essentially abandoned by the American government that was supposed to protect them.<\/p>\n

The letter states:<\/p>\n

A longstanding American ethos was breached during the terrorist attack<\/a> in Benghazi. America failed to provide adequate security to personnel deployed into harm\u2019s way and then failed to respond when they were viciously attacked. Clearly, this is unacceptable and requires accountability. America has always held to the notion that no American will be left behind and that every effort will be made to respond when US personnel are threatened. Given our backgrounds, we are concerned that this sends a very negative message to future military and diplomatic personnel who may be deployed into dangerous environments.\u00a0 That message is that they will be left to their own devices when attacked.\u00a0 That is an unacceptable message.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The letter asks that the House Select Committee ask the Obama Administration sixteen questions that have not yet been answered and demand answers to those questions. The families of those Americans killed in the attack deserve at least that much.<\/p>\n
