If it's been posted, I missed it. I've thought several times to post upon, but couldn't find the right way to bring it. This does, best I've seen and it makes me feel a bit better that it was today that it's posted:

The Senate’s Benghazi report Posted by Jennifer Rubin (http://www.washingtonpost.com/jennifer-rubin/2011/02/24/ABbIUXN_page.html) on January 1, 2013 at 9:30 am
The bipartisan Senate report (“Flashing Red: A Special Report On The Terrorist Attack At Benghazi (http://www.collins.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/81d5e2d9-cc8d-45af-aa8b-b937c55c7208/Flashing%20Red-HSGAC%20Special%20Report%20final.pdf)“) released on Monday by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on the Benghazi debacle certainly adds to our understanding of the events leading up to the murder of four Americans and the confusion that followed. For that its chairman, Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), and ranking member, Susan Collins (R-Maine), should be commended.
While it is less than specific in explaining senior officials’ particular roles and why certain events occurred (e.g., the false cover story about the anti-Muslim film), it moves the ball forward despite blatant stonewalling by the White House. (“To provide a full account of the changes made to the talking points, by whom they were made and why, DNI [James] Clapper offered to provide the Committee with a detailed timeline regarding the development of the talking points. At the time of writing this report, despite repeated requests, the Committee had yet to receive this timeline. According to a senior IC official, the timeline has not been delivered as promised because the Administration has spent weeks debating internally whether or not it should turn over information considered ‘deliberative’ to the Congress.”) Moreover, the president, his national security adviser and other top White House officials have not been queried as to their actions.
That said, the report is a stern and broad rebuke of the entire administration:
