Keeping Us Safe

The Secretary of State is forming a panel to investigate the recent attacks on the U. S. embassy in Libya. The panel, the formation of which is required by law and must consist of five people--four are too few and six are too many to do the job with precision and accuracy--will of course write a report on its findings. Most likely the report will be read by a task force empowered to do so. After that, several committees will naturally be created to interpret the findings of the panel, which is not to be confused with a plank, a platform, a board, a bunk bed or a 2 x 4. Thus our government works to protect us. (It's just too bad they didn't do some investigating before those pre-planned terrorist attacks killed our Ambassador, who by all reports was a heck of a nice guy.)
