Let's be honest; the inquisitions going on now in congress are for the most part political. for example, the one chaired by Congressman Issa is purely and simply political in nature, designed to embarrass the Obama administration. The forthcoming inquiry into the actions of the IRS is definitely proper and necessary. But how about if we stop playing the political games and start trying to run the country properly.  Regarding the Bengazi situation, the administration told us what they knew as they found it out...so why the inquisition. I understand that our people were not properly protected, but that has been happening for a very long time. I remember when our guards at an embassy in the Middle 

East was attacked during the Reagan administration and the guards had no ammunition in their weapons.  It was a tragedy and the problems need to be corrected, but that is not Congress' job. It is the job of the administration, so let them get on with their work rather than finding ways to try to embarrass the administration and the president. The inquisitions are only embarrassing the inquisitors.
