Actor Rob Lowe has praised "13 Hours," a film about the 2012 attack by Islamic militants on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.

 

The attack killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and U.S. Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith. A second attack at another compound nearby killed two CIA contractors, Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty. Ten others were injured in the attacks.

 

On May 29 Lowe tweeted, "If you haven't seen 13 Hours, it's a perfect #MemorialDay movie. A reminder of everything we should never forget. Particularly in 2016."

 

After receiving criticism from Twitter user Pete Potenzini, who accused Lowe of wanting to run with Donald Trump, Lowe responded, "Why does EVERYTHING these days have to be politicized? It's a factual, good movie that honors real heroes. Period."Scissors-32x32.png

House Democrats ask to review Benghazi report before it is released

 

House Democrats are asking for a chance to review the GOP’s report on the Benghazi terrorist attacks before it is released to the public.

 

The five Democrats on the House Select Committee on Benghazi sent a letter to Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) proposing a “joint report” on Benghazi that starts with findings shared by lawmakers in both parties “followed by areas on which reasonable people may disagree.”

 

Failing that, Democrats said they should be able to review a draft copy of the Republican-led committee’s work, in order to add “corrections, additional context or other input before you release it publicly.” In exchange, Democrats said they would let Republicans review their own opposing report for the same purpose.

“In our view, the worst approach would be for you to publicly release a partisan report drafted only by Republicans that has never been reviewed by nearly half of the select committee members,” ranking member Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) and the committee’s four other Democrats wrote.

 

“Such a report would not have the benefit of robust vetting by all select committee members and, as a result, very likely would include critical errors and other deficiencies."

 

Matt Wolking, a spokesman for the Benghazi committee, appeared to dismiss the Tuesday letter, saying Democrats would not be able to edit the report ahead of time.

 

“These do-nothing Democrats pretending to be interested in the truth are the same ones who refused to help with the investigation and wasted millions of dollars trying to undermine and obstruct it,” Wolking said in a statement.

“It’s obvious the Democrats aren’t serious, and their two-faced antics and dishonest distortions are just part of the political game they’re playing on the taxpayers’ dime,” he added.Scissors-32x32.png
