Summary: Today on The Kim Brown Show: The stunning rescue of three young women in Ohio, who were being held captive for several years, captivated the country this week.  Less important, though slightly more captivating, is the soundbyte machine that is Charles Ramsey.  Mr. Ramsey is the dutiful, McDonald's-munching, permed out hero who helped kick in the door that freed Amanda Berry, Michelle Knight, and Gina DeJesus.  I talk about how Charles, and the lesser known hero Angel Cordero, took personal risk to intervene in this situation.  Heroes. Also, the Congressional hearings on the Benghazi attacks continued this week.  They've held nine of these.  Jon Stewart does a great job putting this in perspective, compared to the three congressional hearings held during the Bush administration on more attacks on American diplomatic outlets.  Four Americans gave their lives in service of this nation; the tragic way in which they met their end should not be ammunition for political advantage.  Its very evident that Republicans want to tie Benghazi to Hillary Clinton's ankle, like a cinderblock.  Meanwhile, I chastise the Obama administration for not doing a better job of checking in with the families of the victims of the Benghazi consulate attacks. Plus, I discuss the gross expectation of security in a nation where we participated in regime change (Libya) and how the subsequent instability makes a high-level of security impossible.
