"It's interesting that he knows more than the media in this case"

Cain spokesman JD Gordon cites Abdel-Hakim Belhaj, Libya’s Islamist military commander who fought with the Afghan Taliban, as proof that Cain’s remarks were accurate. Gordon, a former spokesman for the Department of Defense, said he knows Belhaj has taken an “oath of loyalty” to Taliban leader Mullah Omar…

“He’s not suggesting the Taliban is running Libya, he’s just saying we did not do a good enough job vetting who the opposition is,” Gordon told NBC News.

Gordon cited several news agencies having to update or correct initial stories after too abruptly reporting Cain had made another gaffe.

“You guys oughtta do your homework,” Gordon said when asked for his reaction to media coverage of the candidate’s remarks. “It’s interesting that he knows more than the media in this case.”
