New details from administration e-mails about last year’s attacks on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, demonstrate that an intense bureaucratic clash took place between the State Department and the CIA over which agency would get to tell the story of how the tragedy unfolded.
That clash played out in the development of administration talking points that have been at the center of the controversy over the handling of the incident, according to the e-mails that came to light Friday.Over the five days between the attacks and the now-infamous Sunday show appearance by U.N. Ambassador Susan E. Rice, senior officials from the Central Intelligence Agency and the State Department argued over how much information to disclose about the assault in which four Americans, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, were killed.
this last paragraph IMO begs for a public apology to Susan Rice by all on the right who destroyed her charatcer and qualifications, this is a vendication of a subordinate carrying the message for the poweres that were.
Fox and all should be made to give a psa in rebuttal of their own gun jumping and murder of a career, in an effort to sink Pres.
it wasn't even about her she was just the catalyst for right wing bombing this admin. and as usual without foundation or any sense of caring if it was right.
That internal debate and the changes it produced in the Obama administration’s immediate account of the attack have revived Benghazi as a political issue in Washington six months after the presidential election in which it played a prominent role.Friday’s revelations — ABC News published 12 versions of the talking points — produced the latest round of Benghazi post-mortems in the eight months since the attacks. Senior administration officials said in a briefing for reporters that none of Obama’s political advisers were involved in discussions around the original talking points, only national security staff officials.
and yet today they are still saying that Pres. and his admin lied about it, brings back memories of the 2012 election when they lied about Jeep and other things and after being rebuked they kept on pushing the untruth to "we the people", begs to question who is really lying?
