Again, they are simply not comparable situations. You have a vague warning that terrorists might be looking to hijack airliners (which was a decades old story by then, and no one ever considered the idea that they would be turned into missiles) vs. a specific consulate which had asked for increased security and never received it. In the latter case the CIA apparently warned the State Department in some fashion, though going by the e-mails the exact nature of the warning(s) seems to be in dispute. One accusation that has been proven by the e-mails is that the White House lied about what changes were made to the talking points and by whom. |
So we are upset that the white house chose not to tell us that the CIA specifically told them not to say anything about it...
