Issa Feinstein
New testimony this week from government whistleblowers in the September 11th Benghazi attack reignited debate on the issue. Was there a failure of leadership? Could more have been done to save American lives? We'll talk exclusively with House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Senate Intelligence Chair Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).

PickeringAmbassador Thomas Pickering, the man who led the Accountability Review Board commissioned by the State Department to investigate the response to the Benghazi attack, joins us to respond.



panel
What is the political fallout from the Benghazi attack? How will the increased scrutiny and criticism of Hillary Clinton's tenure at the State Department affect her chances in 2016? Plus: the debate over immigration, the economy, and an issue that got a lot of attention this week: how to stem the alarming number of sexual assaults in the military. We'll have insights and analysis from Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) who is a veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan; New York Times columnist David Brooks; the BBC's Katty Kay; and Afghanistan veteran and author Wes Moore.
Aldrin
Buzz Aldrin believes it is imperative for the United States to go to Mars in order to once again establish "world leadership."

The benefits, he argues, are great. "We expand human presence outward, which inspires young people and develops the technology that the entire world can use."

The Apollo 11 astronaut is calling for a mission to the Red Planet within two decades, and putting pressure on President Obama to make that proclamation. If the Mars mission does not get the support from the president during the current administration, Aldrin argues, "then [the next] president may not be able to make that commitment."

Aldrin's new book Mission to Mars: My Vision for Space Exploration lays out his plan to return to Mars. As second man to ever walk on the Moon, Aldrin makes the case that NASA should not focus on returning there. However, the United States should lead an international effort to return to the Moon, because a lot can be gained that would help in a mission to to Mars he says.

"If we just forgot about the moon, we couldn't develop at the moon the assembly of large bases, because we're going to do that at Mars."
