Also, LA Times is reporting that the information about a protest attack came from the CIA originally. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/middleeast/la-na-benghazi-emails-20130516,0,75839.story


If you genuinely believe the CIA thought this was a result of a documentary then I'm not really sure what to say to you. Either you're an idiot, or the CIA needs to be shut down for complete and utter intelligence failure.

The emails released are not from the day of the attack, nor are they of the days following, they are from Sept. 14th and 15th. Do you even know what you're talking about? They are publicly available.

Educate yourself.


Oh, you mean like the failure on WMDs in Iraq? The failure to prevent 9/11? Anyone asked for the CIA to be shut down for either of those? 

 “[t]he currently available information suggests that the demonstrations in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the US embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault against the US consulate and subsequently its annex.” That's what the CIA says in the emails 

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/benghazi-emails-talking-points-changed-state-depts-request/story?id=19187137#.UZV_i7XU-VM

All 12 versions of the talking points, as previously reported by ABC News, say that the attack in Benghazi was "spontaneously inspired by protest in Cairo." In other words, all the talk of protests – which proved to be wrong – started with the CIA. What did get removed was the CIA's saying that it believed Ansar al-Sharia took part in the attack and that the CIA had warned of the terror threat.

Educate yourself. 

A bit different between getting information post hoc as opposed to speculating on WMDs and rather ambiguous information about 9/11. You act like the intel was that there would be planes smashing into the twin towers on 9/11/2001 - that wasn't even remotely close to the case. Not relevant to this matter though. Stay on topic.

Again, you're still posting articles about the emails FROM 3 DAYS LATER

The relevant emails from contemporary intel are not released and probably never will be. These emails aren't about discussing the attack, they are about talking points. Go read them - nothing but unclassified bullet points, i.e. sheltering the public from what actually happened.

Educate yourself.
