There's nothing in that article about Morrell deferring to the State Department on the issue. It only says Morrell did not want to include the 5 lines and State Department also didn't want the warnings included. 

Excerpt: "It remained unclear why Mr. Morrell objected to the inclusion of the warnings and whether his objections or the State Department’s played the dominant role in having them removed."

Well, I'm connecting the dots here. Where is any indication that the CIA didn't want to include the information about al-Qaeda because they were unsure, as you previously said? The only objections I'm seeing here were State's.

Like the article says Morrell objected. It doesn't say why he did that. I hadn't read the part about Patraeus before you posted the link so I only knew about Morrell objecting as deputy director and that was the CIA objection I was talking about before. But there's no information on why he objected so saying he was just following the State Department would be jumping to conclusions.
