The Benghazi Accountability Review Board. (click here)

The only way these things get settled is for me to read stuff.  So, I'm going to read stuff.

...According to the official House Oversight Committee report, (click here) the ARB downplayed security decisions made by senior officials at the State Department, especially that of Under Secretary Patrick Kennedy, and instead blamed four subordinates who, in some cases, "had little to no" responsibility for the key events. In some cases, "the ARB correctly identified poor individual decisions while apparently failing to take into account decisions made by more senior [State] Department officials," reads a draft of the report obtained by CBS News. "Such senior-level decisions played an equal if not greater role in the vulnerability of the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi."...

Admiral Mullens was on this committee. A man that only retired about a year or so before asked to participate in the investigation. A man that was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is incompetent. Amazing.

So, after the debate tonight I'll start reading stuff.
