Iowa State AIDS Researcher Admits To Falsifying Findings
theodp writes "'With countless lives depending on their work,' writes Brett Smith, 'it seems unthinkable that AIDS researchers might falsify their work. However, that's just what Iowa State University assistant professor Dong-Pyou Han has admitted to, according to federal documents.' Han resigned from the project in October after admitting to tampering with samples to give the appearance that an experimental vaccine was causing lab animals to build up protections against HIV. According to the NIH, Han apparently spiked rabbit blood with human blood components from people whose bodies had produced antibodies to HIV. 'This positive result was striking, and it caught everybody's attention,' said the NIH. However, researchers at other institutions became suspicious after they were unsuccessful in duplicating the ISU results. The Iowa State AIDS research project had been awarded $19 million in federal grants over the past several years. Han has agreed to be banned from participating in any federally-financed research for three years."
The bigger the fraud, the smaller the punishment. Han got a slap on the wrist for only $19 million in fraud. In contrast, the Iraq War was $845 billion in fraud, and Bush received no punishment at all.

President Bush wasn't the only party to the war. The UK was as much a driving force if not more. On the other hand, Benghazi blood is all on Obummer's hand...

It's more like the Benghazi blood is on that old Hillary bitch's hands.
She was the one who lied about everything.
Muchas Gracias, Señor Edward Snowden !
I've not seen anyone point out any lies. She got mouthy to a rude freshman senator in one hearing, and so that uppity bitch must be lying. That's the best I've seen, and it's severely lacking. The timeline is consistent with the official story, and a couple of news places seemed to get time zones wrong, indicating we did things before we did them, which was never the case.

Actually it should be on Rummy and whoever at the Shrub State Department (Rice, I think) decided to farm out the protection of embassies and strategic consulates to mercenaries. They used to be guarded by US Marines, now embassies are guarded by Blackwater (or whatever its name is today) and consulates are guarded by the local lowest bidder. If a mob attacks a detachment of Marines the next thing that happens is a fleet of helicopters full of pissed off rednecks armed to the teeth shows up. If a mob attacks a couple of security guards their supervisor, once he has been woken up, has to figure out who he can call in to do some overtime.

Susan Rice said quite a few things about Benghazi that were false. Her defense was that she had been misled by others and believed she was speaking the truth at the time.
But this is all silly in the context of "blood on hands": The "lies" (if you want to call them that) were made after the fact, and did not cause the killings.
