Presidential standards have sunk
Dear Editor,
A reader recently wrote to The Rhino Times that in his opinion a "Watergate-style investigation is unnecessary" for the Benghazi attack in Libya on September 11, 2012. I am presuming that to many like-minded readers Watergate – which brought about the death of no one – was a bona fide scandal while Benghazi was probably just "badly handled."
Frankly, I would rather have a president cover up the burglary of an office than refer to the deaths of an ambassador and heroic Navy Seals who risked their lives trying to save him as a "bump in the road" on a comedy show, or speak before the United Nations 14 days later, privy to every classified secret in the US government, claiming that he still did not know this was a terrorist attack with mortars as opposed to demonstrators carrying mortars. It seems that in the early 1970s, the standards of Americans for their president were a bit higher than today.
And strangely enough if the writer of this letter, Mr. Nick Dixon, advocated the opposite viewpoint, I would wonder if The Rhino Times had deliberately interposed the first letters of his first and last name to conceal the true identity of the writer … from the grave no less.
