Chaffetz: Unacceptable Al Jazeera Got Benghazi Report Before Congress

[Revmitchell]

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) blasted the chairman of an investigative panel on the Benghazi attacks for allowing its report to be leaked to Al Jazeera America before Congress even obtained copies of it.

At a Thursday House Oversight and Government Reform hearing on Benghazi, Chaffetz asked Mark Sullivan, the chairman of the Independent Panel of Best Practices, how lawmakers in Congress could have learned about the report on Al Jazeera.

The report found that the State Department knew of security problems in Benghazi and failed to do anything about it. Chaffetz said Congressmen still do not have the report while Al Jazeera America has had it for a month.

"One of my fundamental challenges and problems is the United States Congress doesn't have this report. It's been almost a month. We don't have this report," Chaffetz said. "And yet the first time it comes out is on Al Jazeera? That's where we gotta get this stuff?"

This doesn't surprise me at all. Thanks to Owl Gore we now have a Muslim mouthpiece in America and the left already has control of it. We need more good men like Chaffetz, we need to pray for him.

This is bad!! Why should any new group have this type report before Congress?

Why should any media have such a report before Congress? This itself needs to be investigated. We have a terrorist-leaning media outlet in al-Jazeera obviously having illicit connections with the government. Who is it that is more loyal to the terrorists and their mouthpieces than they are to this nation? We need to find out.

I agree with you. However we have many in the news media who could care less about country or if the story is correct but is the story a career builder for them. I believe our own media does not care any more or much more for our country than Al-Jazeera.
