Here's a story that should fire up your Thanksgiving Day indigestion. We've all been wondering why Susan Rice went on five national networks to insist that Benghazi was the result of that You Tube video. But, we've had Petraeus and the Director of National Intelligence insisting that their "talking points" memo on the subject spelled out that the massacre was caused by Al Qaeda. The White House has insisted that it never changed the memo.
CBS is now saying that the memo was changed by the Director of National Intelligence himself and that the CIA and FBI agreed to the changes. According to the story, however, top intelligence officials with top clearances were actually told the truth, and Rice was one of those. The story percolating around Washington right now is that they didn't entirely trust the sources that were claiming Al Qaeda was involved in the attack, so they rewrote the "talking points."
Well, glory be. They couldn't trust Ambassador Stevens? They couldn't trust his associates who were begging and pleading for help? They couldn't trust people here stateside in the Pentagon who were receiving emails, text messages and cell phone calls?
This story smells like the worst red herring I've ever heard. All of the sudden the intelligence community is taking the fall and their story has changed? My, how convenient.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
