Probes of Libya attack must focus on future What went wrong? And what can be done to prevent something similar from happening again?

Those are the bottom-line questions that ought really to be the point of any probe into an unexplained, unanticipated event.

Whether one is investigating a minor mishap in the workplace or an unimaginable disaster of historic proportions — or anything in between – the goals must be clear: first understanding, then improvement.Too often, of course, especially in highly public inquests, some have another agenda. They might be out to get someone.

Or to further their own career. They might be out to further their own career by getting someone. Anyone who has ever tuned into a congressional investigation has seen this at work, with some unknown member of some obscure committee looking to make a name for himself as he pontificates and blathers, gesticulates and seeks little beyond self-aggrandizement.

There are legitimate questions about what went wrong on Sept. 11 in Benghazi, Libya, when terrorists attacked the U.S. embassy there, killing our ambassador and three other Americans.

One investigation has already been performed and another is just now getting under way. One can easily imagine what might be coming. And it’s just as simple to know what ought to be done.

Looking for real answers is one thing, but looking for scapegoats is something else again. If there were those at the State Department whose failures can be demonstrated to have led to the Sept. 11 nightmare, they should be held accountable. But this shouldn’t be done because a few with political agendas are looking for some hides to hang on the wall.

It should be done because accountability matters. And with an eye on making things better.Congress, too, has its role, as lawmakers need to supply the funds to keep our embassies operating safely.
