A mother’s anguished words may smash through a wall of silence… You probably didn’t see it in the news, but the investigation of the deaths of four brave Americans in a terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, is still going on. And last week brought the most devastating Congressional testimony yet, from Patricia Smith, mother of slain Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith. In an anguished voice, she recounted how, at Sean’s casket ceremony, President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Susan Rice and Leon Panetta all hugged her and told her that her son was killed because of a YouTube video. And they swore they’d get to the bottom of it. She said she now knows that was a lie, and they knew it was a lie when they said it to her, over her son’s casket. Not one of them ever got back to her. She said she feels that she doesn’t count. All that counts is protecting their own jobs. I don’t know how anyone could look Patricia Smith in the eye and tell her that her son’s murder is a “phony scandal.” But then, it wouldn’t be the first time someone looked her in the eye and lied to her.
