"Panel" To Investigate Benghazi Attacks

A "panel" has been set up to investigate the attacks in Benghazi that resulted in the death of U.S. employees of the U.S. State Department and military:
Central questions raised after the Benghazi attack include why the ambassador was in such an unstable part of Libya on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
A panel needs to answer this?

What would happen if you screwed up at your job? If the State Department were a private company and not a government agency, I can imagine what might have happened. The boss might have said something like, "What the heck was that guy doing in Benghazi?" Now, Hillary Clinton was the boss in this case. I don't know what she said or did, but wouldn't it have been more direct and effective to say something like that and wait until she got an answer that makes sense?

But no, there will be a taxpayer funded "panel" to conduct an investigation. It will be headed by Thomas Pickering.

The five-person independent board usually includes retired ambassadors, a former CIA officer and a member of the private sector. It has the power to issue subpoenas, and members are required to have appropriate security clearances to review classified information.
"The board is meeting and is hard at work. We have decided to keep the deliberations confidential to preserve the integrity and objectivity of the board's work in accordance with the statute providing for its activity," Pickering said in a statement.

Hard at work, keeping everything secret. Sounds like the government, doesn't it? - except maybe for the "hard at work" part.
