Before the Obama administration gave an inaccurate narrative on national television that the Benghazi attacks grew from an anti-American protest, the CIA’s station chief in Libya pointedly told his superiors in Washington that no such demonstration occurred, documents and interviews with current and former intelligence officials show.
The attack was “not an escalation of protests,†the station chief wrote to then-Deputy CIA Director Michael J. Morell in an email dated Sept. 15, 2012 — a full day before the White House sent Susan E. Rice to several Sunday talk shows to disseminate talking points claiming that the Benghazi attack began as a protest over an anti-Islam video.
That the talking points used by Mrs. Rice, who was then U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, were written by a CIA that ignored the assessment by its own station chief inside Libya, has emerged as one of the major bones of contention in the more than two years of political fireworks and congressional investigations into the Benghazi attack.

A lot of lies told by the Obama Administration.

So sad and disrespectful to the lives that were lost.

Hillary 2016--WHAT DOES IT MATTER NOW!!!

The administration claims that there was not enough time for air support to be sent in. That is misleading and a lie because they didn't know how long the attack would last. Help should have been on the way within minutes of the first assault.

That Morell guy lied to congress. He's going to get a grilling tomorrow at a House hearing.
