The recent New Haven Register letter to the editor by Frank C. Rohrig suggesting the congressional hearings on Benghazi proved the war on women existed is indeed puzzling.
Mr. Rohrig does not mention one woman in his letter who was defamed. If he was thinking of the legitimate questions posed to Hillary Clinton, U.S. secretary of state, who was in charge at the time our American ambassador and three other Americans were killed, then I am again puzzled. Clinton has aspired to high positions in our government, therefore must be held responsible for activities that occur on her watch.
And again if he was thinking of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, who lied many times on TV about the cause of the terrorist attacks in Benghazi, she also must be held responsible for her actions.
Are you saying, Mr. Rohrig, because they are women they cannot be questioned or held responsible for these actions or inactions? We seem to forget, four Americans were killed. Questions should always be asked, whether of men or women.
