From the comments: Hagar said... "Benghazi" caused full panic at the State Department at the time and solid stonewalling from the whole administration ever since.

They obviously were doing something - whatever it was - that the administration cannot afford to come into daylight.
It really makes me wonder who or what they are afraid of, since it can hardly be themselves.

Matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised that the "Bush created ISIS" meme is being pushed by the Left (e.g. Podesta's CAP & Brock's Media Matters) because they knew that this report was going to come out & create problems for the Obama administration &, by extension, Hillary.
Anti-ISIS coalition knowingly sponsored violent extremists to ‘isolate’ Assad, rollback ‘Shia expansion’ - Nafeez Ahmed/Insurge (This story is published by INSURGE INTELLIGENCE, a new crowd-funded investigative journalism project.)

A declassified secret US government document obtained by the conservative public interest law firm, Judicial Watch, shows that Western governments deliberately allied with al-Qaeda and other Islamist extremist groups to topple Syrian dictator Bashir al-Assad.
