CIA Station Chief confirms no protests before Benghazi attack
Why did the CIA ignore their own station chief in Libya when developing its talking points for the administration?
That’s a question that is likely to be answered on Wednesday at a hearing of the House Intelligence Committee.
Washington Times:
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.
