Tapper pushes Gowdy: Why doesn't the GOP care about faulty Iraq intel as much as Benghazi?

Gowdy said that Morell personally made changes to the Benghazi talking points, which were aimed at casting the White House in a “more favorable light.” When Tapper asked if he did not believe Morell was telling the truth, Gowdy paused but eventually said that he did not.

“Republicans in general did not seem to have this appetite to find out what went wrong when incorrect intelligence was used to push the war in Iraq,” Tapper observed. “Do you see why some people might say, ‘Why is this more important than that war which resulted in the deaths of more than 4,500 American soldiers and countless innocent Iraqis?”

Gowdy appeared not to answer that question, and repeated a line in which he had used earlier in the day on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “At the end of the day, you may say he’s not very smart, but no one’s going to say that I’m not fair,” Gowdy asserted. “This is not going to be a kangaroo court, and if I thought it were I would not have participated.”
