They are always getting people killed and their focus on these four just seemed to be a tool to rile up their base, like Terry's death in the Fast and Furious issue.

But if they were involved in the Benghazi uprising and it got out of hand, why dwell on it? I don't doubt that they did have something to do with it, I just wonder about the reasoning behind keeping it at the forefront. Maybe it is their arrogance in believing that the M$M will continue to feed off the shit they are shoveling.
