A First Hand View of the loss of Columbia - Death Never Takes a Holiday

From one who was there - read this, some hard truths.

I was there - I was in my family room, turned on the TV, and waited for the landing of Columbia.

When it didn't land on time, we knew.  We didn't want to believe, but we knew, the announcers, staff - no one wanted to admit it.  I was in my family room - and I knew.

Report on Libya attack cities 'systemic failures' in security, CONFIRMS NO PROTEST

The Scandal that is Benghazi, Libya - This confirms what we already know

A State Department-ordered investigation into September's attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, concluded that "systemic failures" left the facility inadequately protected, according to the independent review board's report, which confirmed that no protest preceded the deadly attack.
The report, posted Tuesday night on the State Department's website, also identified "leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels within two bureaus." It suggested 29 ways the department can improve its operations, but recommended no disciplinary action.
The Accountability Review Board's report comes after more than three months of intense debate in Washington over who was behind the attack, what motivated the attackers and why U.S. authorities weren't able to stop the violence, which took the lives of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
