I figured I would quote myself for once.


Sure, but even the email transmissions from Benghazi during the incident were designated as sensitive but not secret. We have a freedom of information act. This is not the type of event that would warrant an exception. We are not subjects of a crown.

Is this mess horrible?
Yes.
Does it smell fishy?
Yes.
Am I going to stick my nose in it and search for a truth that the knowledge of which ultimately leads to more questions?
No.

Like I edited in, we are not subjects of a crown. Quite true, no government is perfect, that's why our form of government is subject to the people, not the other way around.

This kind of topic isn't suited to the EVE forums and is covered in the forum rules.


Forum Rules wrote:



7. 7. It shouldn't be necessary to do so, but it appears that some players feel the need to inflict their viewpoints on race, religion, politics, and other hot topic opinions on other players. These discussions will not be tolerated anywhere on the EVE forums. Players that cannot follow this guideline can lose their posting privileges immediately. This is the sole warning that will be issued regarding this.
