There have been
numerous questions about why the Obama administration supported
moderate rebels in Libya to overthrow a government the Bush
administration had made peace with. The questions arise because many
of those rebels seem to have evolved into ISIS troops in a Libya
moving toward fundamental radical Islam. They also occur because of
the way the state department let the Ambassador be captured, tortured
and killed seemingly in order to show trust in the good intentions
of the locals. One also wonders why the rescue team was bureaucratically fragged
possibly in order to let the slaughter go ahead.

It is true that many
Ambassadors are rich appointees from the 1% that want some glory and
connections and hence are not good for democracy, yet democracy in
the Middle East is a joke anyway that makes leftists in Democrat
administrations feel good about themselves. So one must tolerate the
political incompetence that may occur as it is likely to be on par
with that of the State Department and administration.
Sect. Clinton said
she did not use e-mail as her primary communication in office, and so
that seems to explain why she had all of her emails on a private
email account where anything embarrassing would not be become part of
the public government record. Lawyers know better than to let the
public seem their private business or that of their clients. Except
Sect Clinton was working for the public, and the public interest was
in an open source kind of freedom of information approach to email
communications that would normally graduate to public review when
suffient time had allowed.
Sect. Clinton might
not have trusted the emails accounts of the State Department though
and was perhaps a mind reader about the Chelsea Manning thing that
would release thousands or millions of government emails via
wikipedia-wise choice. The Red Army may know more about what goes on
behind closed doors of the State Department than the average American
citizen.
