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.

Admittedly, I am making an assumption that if he was deferring to State on the part about the warnings then he was also conceding any mention of al-Qaeda. It seems a reasonable assumption, though, when State had the only concerns we've seen expressed about mentioning al-Qaeda. Where did you see that the CIA was unsure about terrorist involvement? It doesn't sound like that was at all the case.

Connecting the dots like you did based on Morrell deciding to strike the lines about Al Qaeda out, assuming that they were unsure :)
