Robert Lovell, who served at U.S. Africa Command headquarters at the time of the September 2012 attack, told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee the military should have done more to try and save four the four Americans who were killed. Lovell's testimony Thursday came as newly surfaced e-mails revealed the White House urged then-U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice to blame the incident on demonstrations over an anti-Muslim move during her appearances on five Sunday morning talk shows. Republicans are seizing on the new information to raise new questions about a potential White House cover-up. "This Benghazi story is about a foreign policy choice called the light footprint that caught up with this administration. It's about an administration that said no to additional security requests because they didn't want to be like Bush," said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). The White House is pushing back, saying Republicans are attempting to politicize a tragedy.
