Hillary Clinton has taken the blame for the attack in Libya. "I take resposibility. I'm the Secretary of State with 60,000-plus employees around the world. This is like a big family... It's painful, absolutely painful."
The State Department will be investigating the security breach in Libya to prevent a tragedy like this in the future.
For those of you that are not familiar with the attack, it occurred on September 11, 2012 in Benghazi, Libya. Initially, the attack was thought to be a protest that got out of hand, but more information was released and it was understood that this was a terrorist attack. Four American diplomats, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were murdered.
The attack in Benghazi has become a very important issue during the presidential election. It was mentioned by Representative Paul Ryan during the vice presidential debate. Ryan stated that the Obama administration ignored requests for more security. Joe Biden defended the Obama administration. The families of the four victims have requested that each campaign stop making the deaths a political issue.
My source was U.S. News and World Report. The article was written by Teresa Welsh and was published on October 16, 2012. This report seemed like it was leaning towards Obama slightly. There was still reliable information in the article.
