McCain snaps when asked why he skipped Libya briefing to discuss Libya

Like many people, Sen. John McCain wants more information about the attack of the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. On Wednesday, he had the chance, when high-ranking military and diplomatic officials held a classified briefing. But the Arizona senator and other Republican members of a Senate committee investigating the attacks skipped the briefing; at the same time, McCain held a press conference to call for a special Watergate-style committee to look into the Benghazi attacks. When pressed Thursday by a CNN reporter on why he skipped the briefing, a cranky McCain snapped, "Because I have the right as a senator to have no comment and who the hell are you to tell me I can or not?" His spokesman later blamed it on a "scheduling error." [Source]
