No Al Qaeda link in Benghazi

After months of investigation by New York Times journalists, including "extensive interviews with Libyans in Benghazi who had direct knowledge of the attack" on the U. S. facility, they found "no evidence that Al Qaeda or other terrorist groups had any role in the assault."

Instead, it seems after all that it was carried out by local fighters and "fueled in large part by anger at an American-made video denigrating Islam."

This goes a long way to vindicate the Obama administration and, in particular, the initial statement made by U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice.

One more shibboleth that Rep. Darrel Issa (R-CA) has been using to clobber President Obama bites the dust.

Will he apologize?    Not likely.
