The ARB report seems to say both things are true. 21 May 2013 Great Red Hope: Occupy as Seen from North Korea While Occupy was alive in this country the media in this country mostly referred to it as a group of protesters concerned about inequality. Newspapers in Europe were less circumspect, referring to the group as "anti-capitalist" on a fairly routine basis. 21 May 2013 Attkisson: My Computer Has Been Compromised Reporter Sharyl Attkisson who has been dogged in her reporting on administration scandals including Fast and Furious and Benghazi believes her computers have been compromised. 21 May 2013 FBI Warrant Labels Fox Reporter a 'Co-Conspirator' in Leak The newly published request for a search warrant of James Rosen's email account makes clear that Rosen himself is a target of the investigation. The document compares Rosen to an "intelligence officer" whose actions make him a "co-conspirator" rather than a reporter doing his job. 20 May 2013 Uh-Oh: Hillary's Benghazi Scapegoat Speaks Out The Daily Beast reports that one of the Benghazi fall guys is refusing to take the fall. Raymond Maxwell was put on indefinite leave by the State Department after its Administrative Review Board (ARB) investigation of Benghazi for reasons that are still unknown to him. The person he claims made the decision to cast him out was Cheryl Mills--Hillary Clinton's former chief of staff and counsel at the State Department. It is the second time Mills' name has turned up during scrutiny of the State Department's response to the attack. 20 May 2013 The Administration's Talking Points Counter Scandal vs. Reality The Obama administration has clearly decided it is too difficult to play defense on the I.R.S. scandal. They are now pushing a cooked up counter scandal in a blatant attempt to turn the tables on their accusers. 20 May 2013 Obama Administration's New Benghazi Excuse: We're Idiots A new report by CBS's Sharyl Attkisson presents a new administration fallback on Benghazi. The people who made the decisions now claim they are just "idiots." But that's not what the record shows, at least when it comes to decisions we can examine up close. 17 May 2013 IRS Excuse for Targeting Tea Party Groups Debunked For more than a month, the I.R.S. has been offering an excuse for its targeting of Tea Party groups, claiming it was deluged with new applications. But data shows that excuse is completely false, leading to further questions about what really motivated the added scrutiny and why the I.R.S. has been making this misleading claim. 17 May 2013 Military Readying New Attack Plan for Benghazi With Benghazi once again in the news, the military is gearing up for possible strikes in and around the Libyan city. 16 May 2013 Democrats Once Again Smacked Down on Benghazi Funding Cuts Claim Since the Congressional hearings last year, Democrats and their allies have tried to claim that budget cuts were responsible for the lack of security in Benghazi.
