CBS: “Office of the DNI” cut al-Qaeda and terrorism references from Benghazi talking points
posted at 11:01 am on November 20, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Meet James Clapper — the latest fall guy for the White House on Benghazi. After last week’s hearings in Congress showed that the talking points from the CIA had been changed to eliminate the mention of terrorism, Washington erupted into a whodunit. CBS reports today that the culprit has been found … sort of:
CBS News has learned that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) cut specific references to “al Qaeda” and “terrorism” from the unclassified talking points given to Ambassador Susan Rice on the Benghazi consulate attack – with the agreement of the CIA and FBI. The White House or State Department did not make those changes. …
However, an intelligence source tells CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan the links to al Qaeda were deemed too “tenuous” to make public, because there was not strong confidence in the person providing the intelligence. CIA Director David Petraeus, however, told Congress he agreed to release the information — the reference to al Qaeda — in an early draft of the talking points, which were also distributed to select lawmakers.
“The intelligence community assessed from the very beginning that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack.” DNI spokesman Shawn Turner tells CBS News. That information was shared at a classified level — which Rice, as a member of President Obama’s cabinet, would have been privy to. …
The head of the DNI is James Clapper, an Obama appointee. He ultimately did review the points, before they were given to Ambassador Rice and members of the House intelligence committee on Sept. 14. They were compiled the day before.
Note that this report doesn’t pin the blame on Clapper himself. It instead locates the change in Clapper’s “office,” allowing for a rather non-specific assignment that makes almost no sense at all. Are we to believe that a Clapper aide overruled David Petraeus’ assessment of Benghazi? If so, on what basis?
The report also states that the reason for the redaction was because the link to AQ was “too tenuous.” However, the presence of mortars and RPGs, as well as coordinated fire and attack strategies in play, made it clear “almost immediately” to Petraeus and others in the CIA that this was much more than a spontaneous demonstration run amok. That made the YouTube video explanation rather “tenuous” too, no? And yet that stayed in the talking points while terrorism got excised.
This explanation seems even more tenuous than the previous stories coming from the White House. If Petraeus knew “almost immediately” that this was an act of deliberate terrorism and included that in his talking points, then we need an explanation of who in the “office of the DNI” removed that explanation, and why — more than just the “too tenuous” excuse here that turned out to be totally wrong — and whether they got pressured to do so.

So, you find four dead Americans…boring.
“People” who feel bored by the death of their fellow Americans are seriously morally deficient.
But then, you’re a leftist………

Might that be the same James Clapper who was Obama’s henchman for removing Petreus, the man who met privately with Petreus to “persuade” him to submit his resignation?
petefrt on November 20, 2012 at 11:51 AM
Since Obama claimed in the debate(corroborated by Candy) he first mentioned it was terrorist attacks in the Rose Garden, why did he and Hillary spend seventy five grand on an Arabic language official apology video disclaiming the YouTube video for the for Muslim countries? Seems inconsistent.

this is the difficulty you’re facing when your beautiful story line falls apart in the face of facts.
sesquipedalian on November 20, 2012 at 11:52 AM
What leaves me just a tad agog, is that they’ve always had an easy excuse- and this information would have buttressed it. They could have simply said they that since they needed time to get assets into the area following the attack, they decided not to tip their hand and reveal knowledge of the culprits.
Of course, that doesn’t mitigate inadequate response at the time of the attack, or follow-up response, or not having the appropriate assets in place to begin with.
But our nation would have looked just a tiny, minuscule measure less Keystone Kop-like.

a capella on November 20, 2012 at 11:58 AM
Because we didn’t want to tip them off that we knew they were behind it, or something.
Even though Al Qaead affiliates were openly taking credit for the attack, that just coincidentally occurred on the 11th anniversary of 9/11.
Duh…
Uh, ummm, this is supposed make sense to the American people, right?
Coincidentally, immediately prior to the attack President Rambo beat his chest for several days telling us all how he had practically destroyed Al Qaeda, promoting it as a cornerstone accomplishment in his reelection bid resume.
So the only ones who didn’t want the American people to know Al Qaeda was behind this, who had an interest in hiding that from the American people, were Dear Leader and his merry band of WH sycophants. Hence they sent forth the deceived and apparently clueless Susan Rice, if we are to believe tough guy Obama’s defense of his maiden in distress, to tell the American people that it was a video clip that set off a spontaneous demonstration that got out of hand, that it was not a terrorist attack, and that the producer of the video is responsible and should be ashamed of himself.
The new socialists in the WH really do think the American people are a bunch of fools and useful idiots, don’t they? And the evidence seems to indicate they are right.

9/25/12
In an address to the United Nations General Assembly today, President Barack Obama dedicated several long passages to discussing and condemning what the New York Times has described as a 14-minute “amateurish video” that was posted on YouTube in June.
Obama also told the United Nations that with modern technology efforts to control the flow of information have become “obsolete.”
The Obama administration had originally suggested that the video in question—which the New York Times said was a trailer for a movie entitled “The Innocence of Muslims”—may have been responsible for inspiring a mob to attack the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya on Sept. 11 and to kill U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
kingsjester on November 20, 2012 at 12:02 PM
No, you miserable lying coward.
They were killed because YOUR cowardly piece of crap masquerading as a pResident denied help to them when their lives could have been saved.
Because YOUR lying coward in the oval office was AFRAID to make a decision and save their lives.
He never issued ANY order to do all that was possible to protect American lives…and you know it. If he had, they’d probably be alive today.
How does it grab you that your coward was all too willing to allow 30+ OTHER Americans to die, too? I’ll bet you’d love that too…if it didn’t just bore you to tears.
You really are trying very hard to earn your pay today, leftoid drone.
Solaratov on November 20, 2012 at 12:02 PM
this is what sometimes happens as we learn the details of an event. it’s perfectly normal that initial assessments differ from later accounts.
of course, you’re wrong to assert that they were all disproven but you’re wrong about too many things for me correct all.
sesquipedalian on November 20, 2012 at 12:03 PM
wonderful. Ask not what information your country can provide for you, but ask what information your country can hide from you.
The liberal mindset of expansive government is great insofar as it provides them with insulation, defensive positions and plausible deniability in times like these. We have to conduct exhaustive investigations into who removed the language, why it was removed, when it was removed, what office did it and….blah blah blah
I mean, this is just fabulous because NO ONE is asking who gave the order for our forces to STAND DOWN. When was that order issued? Who ordered it? What forces obeyed it? What forces were strip ready and locked & cocked and could have responded?
What does the president’s order of “do whatever needs to be done” mean in functional terms? That’s nebulousness….”do whatever” does not launch a ship, nor a helicopter, nor a SOF team……does it?

The extremist element is just incidental to the enviroment in Libya. Which, btw, is WHY AMBASSADOR STEVENS WAS ASKING FOR MORE HELP PRIOR TO THE ATTACK.

APACHEWHOKNOWS on November 20, 2012 at 12:11 PM
It is helpful for the administration to compartmentalize this and focus on the extraordinarily narrow view. When put altogether, it is devastating. Before the attack the ambassador asked for help. During the attack the ambassador asked for help. After the attack the administration blamed a video after they edited out terrorists.
Close the loop, put it in context. Before + During + After

I’m usually trying to be nice to Hot Air trolls who think, or at least imitate thinking. There is a problem with your line of thought that you might not be aware of; few people who never lived under socialism are.
Children who pretend-play medieval fantasy and imagine themselves to be great kings, beautiful princesses, brave knights, and mighty wizards often forget that the majority of the population were, in fact, serfs whose life was very hard and often sorrowful. Similarly, those who root for socialism usually imagine themselves as part of the ruling crop of intelligent elite. That’s natural; google up “optimism bias” for the science of it. In fact, select few probably will be elevated, but the others will rot in the economic outhouse along with us proles. Likely worse than proles, since “working” and “suffering” is hard-to-cope concepts for an optimist. And if history is any example, that outhouse will stink a lot; it did in every socialist country on Earth so far.
So think twice before you choose sides. The next head you see on a pike could be yours.

Obama had no business in Libya, none.
He went in by EO, without the congress.
His Arab Spring policy failed.
The terrorists are kings in Libya and elsewhere.
Benghazi – ask always – what was Amb. Stevens doing there, officially and unofficially, on the day of the 9/11 anniv.? Therein is your answer. The MO for such ambassadors is to stay put in the main embassy/Tripoli in this case, in the bunker.
People died.
Obama and Hillary lied, lied, and lied.
Obama/Hillary/Rice/Petraeus/Clapper will all burn for this. They know what happened.
Media, suffocate from all the crap you consume. It ain’t Beluga caviar, you derelict morons.

So, by denying the truth (lying, as it were) you’re just going to magically wish it all away?
Are you on drugs? Or have you just licked up so much of your masters’ spittle that you’re drunk on it.
Perhaps that sort of asinine lying works on your sort of ‘people’ in your leftist la-la-land……but not here.
You’re lying. Your masters must be so proud of you. Maybe you’ll find a bonus on the nightstand.
