The embarrassment is that political culture in America is such that we can’t have an adult conversation about the lessons of Benghazi, a conversation that would focus more on understanding al Qaeda affiliates in North Africa, on the limitations and imperfections of security, and on shortfalls in our intelligence gathering, than on who said what when in the Rose Garden.
Jeffrey Goldberg refocuses our attention on what is really worth talking about after the attack in Benghazi. Particularly worth noting is his observation that Foreign Service personnel are just as integral to US operations in the Middle East and North Africa as active-duty military are, for better or for worse, and they know the risks when they sign up for the job.
