May 15 (Bloomberg) -- So it turns out that Susan Rice, the
U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and, before a group of
leading Senate Republicans decided that she was evil incarnate,
a top contender to replace Hillary Clinton as secretary of
state, had nothing to do with formulating the White House’s
response to the fatal attacks last year at the American
diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya.
You could be forgiven for believing otherwise. In fact, you
could be forgiven for believing that Rice had been personally
assigned by President Barack Obama to pull a guard-duty shift at
the mission that night but slept through her assignment, given
the level of hatred subsequently directed her way.
