In this photo taken May 13, 2013, President Barack Obama defends his administration's actions in the wake of the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last year, calling Congressional criticism a political sideshow during a joint news conference with visiting British Prime Minister David Cameron, not shown, at the White House in Washington. The night of smoke, chaos, gunfire and grenades that killed four Americans in Benghazi is well-documented. Eight months later, it is the decisions made back in Washington that remain murky and in perpetual dispute. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)

Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., speak to reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington after meeting with UN Ambassador Susan Rice to discuss statements she made about the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya that killed four Americans. Republicans and Democrats began condemning each other's response to Benghazi within hours of the first shots fired. The issue has flared and dimmed ever since, revived by new testimony, reports or documents like newly released emails. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File)

Ambassador Susan Rice used after the deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya last September, expressing concerns that Congress might criticize the Obama administration for ignoring warnings of a growing threat in Benghazi.

Four members of Army special forces ready to head to Benghazi, Libya, after the deadly assault on the American diplomatic mission had ended were told not to go, according to a former top diplomat. Gregory Hicks also argued in an interview with Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that if the U.S. military had flown aircraft over the Benghazi facility after it came under siege it might have prevented the second attack on the CIA annex that killed two CIA security officers.
