...former governor of Massachussetts, currently the Publican nominee for president. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals.

to task for not clarifying exactly what led to the September 11 attack that left the US ambassador and three other Americans dead, or whether there was sufficient security at the facility.

"With each passing day, we learn more about the ways in which the B.O. regime misled the American people about the tragic events that transpired in the terrorist attack on our consulate," Romney policy director Lanhee Chen said in a statement.

"On an issue of this importance, nothing short of full and complete candor is acceptable."

Nearly a month after the attack, the government "continues to offer incomplete and indirect responses to simple and straightforward questions," he said.

"It is up to President B.O. and his administration to ensure that congressional Sherlocks and the American people have a full accounting of the facts not just from that day, but from the days and months leading up to the attack."

White House front man Jay Carney was repeatedly pressed on the evolution of explanations coming from the administration on the Benghazi attack.

Asked whether the administration had misled Americans over the cause of the strike, Carney answered: "absolutely not. The president of the United States referred to it as an act of terror immediately after it occurred."

Carney also argued that the intelligence on the attack changed as more information became available, and that officials, including UN envoy Susan Rice, had tried to be as open about the unrest as possible.

#1  Well the administration has already leaked Special Intelligence and CCTV capabilities which confirmed what was taking place real-time in Benghazi. Could they provide a bit on any predictive analysis that might have been derived prior to the attack ? Could reports from survivors be released ?
