Its only been a few hours since the White House announced the capture of Ahmed Abu Khatallah, the suspected mastermind of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans on September 11, 2012, and already the response in Washington is breaking down strictly along partisan lines.
Some Republicans have responded to Khatallahs capture in Libya Sunday in a raid by U.S. special forces by asking whether it is being used as a political distraction, while a debate about how the suspected terrorist will be brought to justice is already underway.
Former Representatives Allen West of Florida and Joe Walsh of Illinois, two ultra-conservatives who lost their seats in 2012, took to Twitter to question the timing of the capture.

Let them take to twitter with their impotent rage.
It brings a smile to my face.

First, that there was a capture at all. This overshadows any "investigations" taking place. And even worse for them, the admission by the captured individual that the attack was motivated by the right-wing anti-Muslim video posted to Youtube by one of their own. Yes, the conservative base now owns Benghazi and will continue grow even more delusional in the days ahead.
