But a New York Times report published over the weekend has angered sources who were on the ground that night. Those sources, who continue to face threats of losing their jobs, sharply challenged the Times’ findings that there was no involvement from Al Qaeda or any other international terror group and that an anti-Islam film played a role in inciting the initial wave of attacks.

“It was a coordinated attack. It is completely false to say anything else. … It is completely a lie,” one witness to the attack told Fox News.

The more I think about the slimes story....could it be a red herring? I mean they could not have thought after all the testimony and facts released that they could cover for Hilda and actually get away with it....it's just too stupid even for them

Suspect the DNC ordered the story to help quell some of the panic in ratland, And yes, I’m quite ready to believe that the DNC can control what’s printed in the “newspaper of record”.

The NYT has finally jumped the shark.

BEEN jumping the shark for a pair of decades. Now, they jump it with such a high frequency that the air movement caused by their shark-jumping dries up the water the shark is in.

...probably cover for ODUNGOCARE, but this highlights just how corrupt and dishonest they are with the American people.
Maybe that’s why the RATS are mentioning the “I” word.

Since the NYT has a long history of making up stories as it goes along...anything to fit the NYT considered conclusion...why would anyone consider otherwise?

This goes beyond bias and spin, to outright lying. IMHO.

Egypt intelligence warns (on Sept 4th) of attacks on Israel, US embassies

Congress was warned about Libya last month

Libyan president: 'No doubt' attack 'preplanned' (Magariaf on Face the Nation)

"It was planned, definitely. It was planned by foreigners, by people who entered the country a few months ago. And they were planning this criminal act since their arrival," Magariaf said.

No demonstration before attack on US Consulate, source says

"The intelligence source said no protests were happening before the attackers struck at about 9:35 p.m. local time last Tuesday. The account backs up claims by a purported Libyan security guard who told McClatchy Newspapers late last week that the area was quiet before the attack."

Source: Slain ambassador Stevens said he was on al Qaeda list

WASHINGTON - In the months leading up to his death, Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, worried about constant security threats in Benghazi and mentioned that his name was on an al Qaeda hit list, a source familiar with his thinking told CNN.
