Shameful.

"Right-wing media outlets are pushing dubious allegations to attack Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over the violence that claimed the life of the U.S. ambassador to Libya."

"The US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted, but no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and "lockdown", under which movement is severely restricted."

It's all so awful. I've been following the coverage today on Al Jezeera and CNN. My heart is just broken. The ceremony for the return of the remains of those we lost is coming on soon.
