@BeschlossDC Telegram from?
@BeschlossDC Who is that from?
@BeschlossDC Who wrote it?
@BeschlossDC @hardball I wonder if we'll ever see the memos from Amb. Stevens, asking for protection by Hillary Clinton
Nice try, @RepStevenSmith, but you need to actually read the memos: "Ambassador Stevens twice said no to military offers of more security."
@pensare He said that about a full military presence, not security. #whatdifferencedoesitmake
@RepStevenSmith @Forbes “Gen. Ham phoned Stevens, offered up a special security team TO THE BENGHAZI MISSION…provided by the U.S. military.”
@BeschlossDC awesome piece of history…..did LBJ really pull the detail off King b/c of his vietnam speech?
@BeschlossDC And five years later . . . living on borrowed time. MLK made it matter.
@BeschlossDC For those wondering, the telegram is from Jackie Robinson! http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_vault/2013/04/12/jackie_robinson_telegram_to_jfk_asking_for_enhanced_protection_for_mlk_after.html … @KatMcKinley @LisaHendrix
@BeschlossDC @andie_walsh Sad the same telegram can be written today.
