New @nytimes.com reporting shows US Embassy officials in Israel are blocking info from Congress on the killings of Americans in the West Bank. I'm calling on Senator Risch & the Foreign Relations Committee to hold a hearing into this coverup. The American people deserve the truth.

The 13 people murdered at Fort Hood deserved to live, and their families deserve justice. But justice should never be confused with spectacle. Livestreaming an execution risks sensationalizing violence rather than honoring those whose lives were taken. Death should not be a public broadcast.
