I upgraded the originaltwo bits about the resignation in a series of edits completed here. I added TPickering because his was the "grossly inadequate" quote (in the other AP article; and presumably in the linked State doc); then HClinton (and JKerry in the footnote) seemed reasonable additions since she accepted the "systemic" problems and addressed him. But I did ask in my Edit summary whether it ended with "too much detail". I feel it's OK but could see alternative opinion. I did also add, among others, the link to the main article on Benghazi attack. Subject was the senior official to resign so some review of the background seems necessary. Discuss here if different opinion on magnitude and if wish. Swliv (talk) 01:08, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
