Republican Senator Raises New Questions About Susan Rice

Republican Senator Susan Collins said after meeting with Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, that she couldn’t support Rice if she’s nominated to be secretary of state without more information about her comments on the deadly Sept. 11 attack in Libya.
The objections put Collins -- often called a moderate -- with a group of conservative lawmakers challenging Rice and opened a new line of questions about the fitness of one of President Barack Obama’s closest associates to serve as the nation’s top diplomat.
