"estifying out of sight, former CIA director David Petraeus told Congress on Friday that classified intelligence showed the deadly raid on the US Consulate in Libya was a terrorist attack but the administration withheld the suspected role of Al Qaeda affiliates to avoid tipping them off.
The recently resigned spy chief explained that references to terrorist groups suspected of carrying out the violence were removed from the public explanation of what caused the attack so as not to alert them that US intelligence was on their trail, "..
Sometimes it is the coverup and not the crime. Deliberately re-writing what the CIA had decided sounds lke lying to the American public to me. But the Dems here are used to lies, like I support DOMA until I don't support it.

Now Fred....the White House said they didn't do it.....it must be true.
After all....Petraeus is an adulterer who cannot be trusted. That is what they want us to be believe.
Of course he would lie. (even if he has no motive to do so)

I've already posted the defense of the bullsh*t the GOTP keeps trying to stir up because it still can't admit it LOST THE FRIGGIN' ELECTION....
She went out and gave the talking points that were agreed to by the entire intelligence community as reflecting their unclassified views at the moment that she used those talking points.
What part of that are you having trouble understanding? Is it the part about "AS REFLECTING THEIR UNCLASSIFIED VIEWS AT THE MOMENT THAT SHE USED THOSE TALKING POINTS"...? I can explain it to you...But I can't understand it for you. I seem to remember Obama DESTROYING RMoney with the lie that he (Obama) didn't call it an "act of terrorism" in the Rose Garden on the day after it happened... Shall I post that memorable piece of video with the classic line, "Please proceed, Governor..."

And I'm STILL waiting for PROOF that the President of the United States "lied"....

So the Obama administration wants to cast America's intelligence community as so stupid that the CIA can't determine Al Quaida is behind the attack on the embassy?
They must think either the terrorists are real gullible or Americans are for believing this crap.

or
2) They don't want to show that Obama and Clinton weren't able to correctly head this off.
