Benghazi collateral damage

Has anyone ever apologized to Nakoula Basseley Nakoula?

If the name doesn't ring a bell, let me jog your memory. Nakoula was the man who made a video about Muhammad and was blamed for Benghazi by President Obama, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. We later learned our president, Rice and Hillary lied about the video to further their careers.

OK, I understand politicians lie. I get that. But even so, shouldn't Nakoula Basseley Nakoula's life have enough value in the eyes of our leaders so one of them would step forward and offer him an apology? Or will his life always be collateral damage in the Benghazi scandal?

Samuel Johnson said, "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good."

Sadly, we Americans settle for small people with little integrity and honor, electing them as our leaders, and then wonder why we have problems.
