36. Odd how Congress was SILENT about these listed attacks

And it took BENGHAZI for Congress to start caring about attacks on consulates, as wikipedia notes: "In the aftermath of the attack, investigators identified more than a dozen violent events in Benghazi during the previous six months. On October 2, 2012, three weeks after the attacks, Darrell Issa (R-CA, chairman of the Committee) and Jason Chaffetz (R-UT, chairman of the subcommittee on National Security, Homeland Defense, and Foreign Operations) sent a letter to Secretary of State Clinton which listed a number of these events—including car jackings, kidnappings, assassination attempts, and gun battles." (The Wiki article provides a list summary of the Issa/Chaffetz letter.)
