If you are a Democrat, Independent or rational Republican, give this Times editorial as wide a circulation as you can. Please. The hottest competition in Washington this week is among House Republicans vying for a seat on the Behghazi kangaroo court, also known as the Select House Committee to Inflate a Tragedy into a Scandal. Half the House has asked to serve on the committee, which is understandable since its a perfect opportunity to avoid any real work while waving frantically to right-wing voters stomping their feet in the grandstand. * * * Four Americans, including the United States Ambassador, died in Benghazi, and their deaths have been crassly used by Republicans as a political cudgel, wildly swung in the dark. * * * Little nuisances like constitutional rights or basic facts cant be allowed to stand in the way when House Republicans need to whip up their partys fury.
