After one year of work and more than $2.5 million in spending, the Republican-led U.S. House committee investigating the 2012 Benghazi attacks on Friday issued an "interim progress report." Instead of progress, the panel's Democrats say they've witnessed a 12-month political charade.

Formed exactly one year ago to review administration decisions and actions before and after the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attacks at U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya, during which Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed, the committee has operated mostly behind closed doors, holding just three public hearings.
