During an interview on Fox News, defense analyst Thomas Ricks accused the network of politicizing the attack in Benghazi, and being a "wing of the Republican Party." Fox immediately shuts the interview down.
Ricks later explained, "One reason I spoke the way I did is that the hero of my new book is George Marshall, the Army chief of staff during World War II. He got his position by speaking truth to power, and I try to follow that example."
