| Anderson Cooper just had Sean Smith's mom on (Posted on 10/10/12 at 7:33 pm)
Sean Smith was one if the state department employee's killed in Benghazi. She is pissed. She says she hasn't received a straight answer from anyone in the Administration and basically said there all a bunch of liars.

it's sad that her son died, but my first thought when a person in a situation like this comes forward in the way you say she has, is that some plaintiffs' lawyer put her up to it.
From her perspective, her son is dead, and therefore somebody must be to blame for something.

I doubt he has a cause of action against the US for his death.

Someone IS to blame for the security fiasco which contributed to her son's death.

Uh, well, yeah.
Your kid dies needlessly, after a certain period of grief, you're gonna want a few answers.

so far, sounds like security professionals on the ground in Benghazi before the attack strongly agree with her. You don't think someone is responsible for the death of her son?

I'll take the same position on this as I did with Trayvon. Wait and see.

From my perspective, an American died in this circumstance and somebody MUST be forced to tell the TRUTH about it.

It's been over three weeks since her son was killed.
How much longer would you wait to get answers about your son's death?

I don't disagree with you there, and if that's all this lady is saying, then good.
I don't mean to make her out to be a bad person. I know she's upset.
I'm just jaded, I guess. Forget I said anything.

He was her only child. She is pissed because no one has shown any interest in letting her know how her son died when they promised they would. She said Leon Panetta and Susan Rice told her to her face the anti-muslim video caused the uprising that led to his death. Heavy shite gonna go down over this.

Not providing full facts to a grieving family is despicable. That family needs closure. Even if you have to tell them off the record, you do it. Having to go through that is not easy, but whoever was responsible should be doing that until they have answered every one of their questions.

Jesus, dude. I am talking about waiting until all the facts come out. So far all I know is that the white house initially came out and said they thought it was because of the video, and now the state department is saying it wasn't.
But what the frick does it matter what hte cause was? All that matters is whether there were warnings that should have been heeded but weren't. That is what I am waiting to hear about.
I admit I haven't followed this that closely.

I'd forgotten the mofos showed up when the bodies returned here for the photo-op. Oh, they hugged and made that poor lady all sorts of promises... only to cast her aside the minute the campaign bus cranked back up and the cameras stopped rolling.
Pure scum.

Two former heads of US diplomatic security in Libya have told a congressional hearing that requests for additional agents to protect American officials and premises in the face of a growing threat from armed militias were rejected by the state department ahead of the attack on the Benghazi consulate that killed the US ambassador, Chris Stevens, and three other officials.
