This past week, the movie “13 Hours” was released, a story of what happened at Benghazi in Libya in 2012 when the American ambassador and several others were killed. This was the “incident” for which the State Department and the White House originally blamed an anti-Muslim video, which, in today’s politically correct language, was “mis-spoken” (what a few people still call a lie).The CIA issued a statement about the movie, denying there was any order for security personnel to “stand down” and not intervene. But too many other people are saying there was indeed such an order. Variety has a fairly balanced account.
Some
good photography, good stories on faith, good poetry – it was, all in all, a good
week online. And my friend David Rupert posted a video – produced by East
Catholic High School – that is a good reminder to all of us to stand firm and
be bold against the currents running through our cultural elites.
