On December 28 the NY Times ran a long piece on the death of four Americans--including our ambassador to Libya--in Benghazi a month before the presidential election of 2012. 

The conclusion, according to author David D. Kirkpatrick, was that the attack was pretty much triggered by anger over a video hostile to Islam being played on Egyptian TV.

Interestingly, one name that should have been prominent in such a discussion was never mentioned in the article:  Former SecState Hillary Clinton.

Cynics claim the article is the Times' first salvo in the effort to get Hillary into the presidency.
