Mark Mardell, the BBC's North American editor, issued a mea culpa of sorts today after Jonathan Karl at ABC News dropped his bombshell that proves beyond any doubt that the Obama Administration lied about its involvement in editing the CIA's talking points surrounding the September 11 attack on our consulate in Libya.
In a piece titled, "After Benghazi revelations, heads will roll," Mardell writes, "In the interests of full disclosure I have to say I have not in the past been persuaded that allegations of a cover-up were a big deal." He adds, "It seemed to me a partisan attack based on very little."
That all changed with today's revelations. Mardell now believes:
This is the first hard evidence that the state department did ask for changes to the CIA's original assessment.
Specifically, they wanted references to previous warnings deleted and this sentence removed: "We do know that Islamic extremists with ties to al-Qa'ida participated in the attack."
There's little doubt in my mind that this will haunt Hillary Clinton if she decides to run for president, unless she executes some pretty fancy footwork....

It’s looking like they are only coming to the table because it will be blame Hillary...not blame Obama.
The BBC issues a “mea culpa”, but America’s Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms will circle the wagons.
Take that to the bank.
Heads have already rolled. Why do you think Hillary and Panetta split in January?
This is an internal Democrat op by somebody taking her down before ‘16.
Somebody should tell these “so called Journalists” and Pundits that only POTUS could have given the “Stand Down” order. Hillary did NOT have that authority as it included agencies/departments outside her jurisdiction.
I like it!
How could he as a journalist paid to look into crap not know what we knew or sensed as mere internet rabble
“Heads will roll”
I’ll believe it when I see all of them in orange jump suits and shackles, doing the perp walk.
Which is precisely why now I get my news from foreign sources.....American media is like the Soviet media, only echoes the party line.
“There’s little doubt in my mind that this will haunt Hillary Clinton if she decides to run for president, unless she executes some pretty fancy footwork....”
There is no doubt in my mind that the media is all in for Hillary! in 2016. I also have no doubt that the average American has an IQ slightly above room temperature with the attention span of a retarded chipmunk.
This is but a “bump in the road” for Hillary!
Raise your hand if you think Hillary is going to take the fall for this without bringing others down with her. Maybe this was 0bama’s way of ensuring Michelle 0bama would face no opposition in 2016.
Hey, atleast the bbc is covering it. cnn can’t/won’t get away from the 3 women kidnapped story with a little boston bomber rehash. Benghazi? FORGET IT.
Hitlary will not go down alone, she will take this boob with her.
“What difference does it make?”
Mardell is another example of the BBC’s leftist bias, which is global as well as domestic.
Heads have already rolled ... but only in the military.

Remember “Wag The Dog”. Don’t be surprised if pretty soon there is a Major Development in the U.S. Involvement in the War in Syria that will divert the Media’s attention from Benghazi.
The Daily Mail UK (website) has provided information on the Boston bombing suspects and Benghazi that the American media wouldn’t dare touch.
This suggests Hillary’s the most plausible card in Obama’s hand to sacrifice to save himself.
