'Testimony by the former acting head of the CIA makes clear that Congress's current approach isn't sufficient.'
Last week's encounter between former acting CIA Director Michael Morell and the House Permanent Subcommittee on Intelligence may have brought us a bit closer to the truth of how four Americans came to be killed at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012, and how their countrymen came to be lied to about it. But the progress toward truth was probably not made in a way that Mr. Morell intended. The encounter on Capitol Hill also made clear that the forum that will take us all the way to the truth must be something other than a congressional hearing.
Mr. Morell announced at the start of the hearing that he was there to refute claims that he had "inappropriately altered CIA's classified analysis and its unclassified talking points . . . for the political benefit of President Obama and then-Secretary of State Clinton." Critics of the government's performance on Benghazi have charged that Mr. Morell's revisions principally although not exclusively involved changing the description of the violence and its perpetrators, and removing the suggestion that they might have had ties to a terrorist organization. These changes, it is argued, enabled Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations at the time, to promote the discredited and since abandoned narrative that the violence was a reaction to an anti-Muslim YouTube video produced by a probationer in Los Angeles.

So who created the video lie?
This makes me absolutely sick.
Benghazi should be a giant, smoking black hole in the ground right now, not the subject of half-assed congressional hearings.
Just imagine how many American lives we would have saved if we’d turn Mogadishu into a radioactive heap of black, ashen glass after Blackhawk Down.
What were 30 CIA operatives doing in Benghazi?
Even when attacking the stonewall, the WSJ doesn’t ask the key question.
The answer will blow everything up.
The answer is probably that 0bama was running Ghaddafi’s guns to AL QAEDA IN SYRIA.
So who created the video lie?
wrong question.....the right question is....How was a video in the lerch within minutes of the Benghazi attack
as a go to blame
0bama bombed Libya to get their weapons to supply to Al Qaeda in Syria, but perhaps Stevens was also set-up BY HILLARY to be kidnapped in exchange for release of the Blind Sheik. Benghazi was a cesspool of wrongdoing by team 0.
Remember, HILLARY WAS BFF WITH MORSI and probably arranged for his #1 campaign platform item in Egypt (release of blind sheik) to come true!
Second Benghazi ping of the day.
Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.
Tell Boner,he is the one holding up a select committee
Finally!!! Almost no one had seen this pitiful, ridiculous video. How do the precedent and Secretary of State stumble across it in such a convenient and suspicious manner. It's BS!
I have wondered if one or both of them commissioned it. I know that sounds conspiratorial, but how did they come up with it??????
THAT you will NEVER get to the bottom of, it’s sooooo childish and sooooo unbelievable embarrashing it CANNOT be talked about without the public’s outrage, the “so-called government’s cover up for one-another that will get your head spinning 1000+ rpm if the real truth comes to light, and we will never get there, except for a little rooster’s posture!!!
Maybe the better place for your question to be answered than from Freepers, would be to ask Admiral Lyons, hmmm!!!
At the time I figured someone in the administration was involved with the movie, of course through several others. The movie was dubbed.
To me it was clear.
