The Guilt of Susan Rice

At first glance the attacks made by Sen. John McCain on UN Ambassador Susan Rice seem inexplicable, something like the attack on Iraq after the Twin Towers fell. In that case we took revenge by attacking a country at random, so to speak. Susan Rice had nothing to do with the murders in Benghazi. Therefore, she is the right person to hold responsible. At second glance, though, McCain's reasoning becomes less stupid. This is his argument. Susan Rice must have been given the unclassified account of the Benghazi incident, prepared by the CIA, and she was also given the secret classified account prepared by the CIA. When she went on TV, she repeated what was in the unclassified account. She should have presented the secret classified account and then--I guess--have been tried for treason and gone to prison. McCain's case here is undeniable, and it is backed up by two facts the Democrats will have trouble denying: Susan Rice is a woman, and she is not an old white man.
