I think you make an excellent point. Admitting a lack of reticence over bashing the administration (in many areas) over lack of competence, I do believe the issue that could/should come out is that there are clear indications on-the-record that a security situation was minimized to manage some other agenda, or through sheer indifference from not having (or simply discarding) the perspective of those on the ground. That, rather than the "morning after" charade of "how come we're not all telling the same lie" will hopefully be the focus.
