Last night I attended a meeting of the Lake Norman Conservatives as they welcomed Billy and Karen Vaughn to share the story about Extortion 17 and the great danger our military servicemen are facing from both domestic and foreign enemies. Immediately following the event, the Vaughns made the trip from Huntersville, North Carolina to Washington, DC for the scheduled hearing today on Extortion 17. Sadly, it appears that the hearing was nothing more than a joke as only one serious question was asked and no serious answers were provided. In fact, many of the committee members didn’t even show up. Look at this picture from the hearing:
The video of the hearing, which lasted less than two hours can be viewed here. While there were lots of “condolences” offered to the family and lots of patting on the backs among representatives about having a hearing, which took up considerable amounts of time that could have been better spent asking serious questions about why Extortion 17 was shot down and the lives of 30 Americans, including some of the most elite special forces in the world, only one serious question arose.
