The mothers of two CIA contractors and former Navy SEALs killed in the 2012 attacks on the U.S. compound in Benghazi are outraged by a “cruel and callous” political ad that invokes images of their sons to level charges against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Barbara Doherty of Woburn, whose son Glen Doherty died in the attack, told the Herald, “It’s so crude and so unfeeling to do something like this. To see your own son and hear a voice coming up from the grave, it’s tasteless.”

Doherty’s mother said this is the first time someone has put words into her son’s mouth like that — and he wouldn’t have liked it. “I won’t use the language he would have used, but he would be very upset.”
Cheryl Croft Bennett, whose son, Tyrone Woods, died in the attacks, said the ad triggered the type of anger that she had avoided since he was killed.

Bennett said the Stop Hillary PAC, which is behind the ad, should have asked before using her son’s image to peddle such a political attack, even though she would have denied the request.

“To have words put in his mouth as he is speaking from the grave, it’s beyond the pale,” she said. “Besides callous and cruel, it’s irreverent, and it does not honor, it does not respect these men.”
