Politicizing Ambassador's death?

The father of the U.S. Ambassador killed in Benghazi, Libya on September 11th is asking that his son's name not be politicized in the presidential campaign.

Is it being? Should it be?

If the Ambassador or his staff requested increased security before the attack occurred, then the reasons for their request belong in the public view. Who at State declined it, or who failed to make a decision? Did the request have go through so many channels that it never got to a decision-maker?

If these questions are not asked now, less than three weeks before the presidential election, it certainly won't do any good to ask them later.

Was deceit involved, when President Obama announced that the attack was the result of a protest based on the internet movie that angered Muslims? Is it true that the Marines guarding the embassy didn't even have live rounds for their weapons?

It turns out the attack wasn't a "protest" over a movie; it is now labeled a terrorist attack.

With all due respect to the late Ambassador and his family, questions need to be asked and without delay.

Just look what happens on a local level, when questions are raised about a death. People at the scene know whether a driver was drunk or irresponsible or careless. But the wagons get circled, friends rise up to protect the departed, and anyone who raises a question gets attacked.
