Benghazi Movie & Stanford Rape Case

Benghazi Movie & Stanford Rape Case

Tuesday on Howell & Yarbrough we talked with the author of the book, 13 Hours, on the attack in Benghazi. We also discussed the Stanford rape case and sexual assault in general.

Benghazi 

Mitchell Zuckoff says he didn’t want anything to do with the Benghazi story, which he felt had been politicized. But then he met the heroes involved in trying to save lives at the diplomatic compound in Libya, 6 people who impressed him with their selflessness and heroism.
