Libya "scandal" - what motivation is suspected?

[digs]

Just to put it in perspective, from the debate thread:

@MsWhatsit

I would just like to point out that I have a reasonably good mix of liberals and conservatives on my Facebook list, and nobody on there is talking about this whole “acts of terror” vs. “terrorism” thing at all. Not even a little bit. Seriously, nobody cares. Romney looked like a tool on this topic during the debate. No amount of semantic nitpicking after the fact is going to change that. That’s how these things go.
