Congressional committees and hearings are not necessary to prove without doubt that the administration deliberately lied when it attributed the Benghazi consulate attack solely to demonstrators. A simple Google search for September 11-12 brings up dozens of media reports indicating that at the very least an organized attack took advantage of a possible demonstration as cover (we now know there was no demonstration). Experts from around the world were quoted as insisting that the attack was organized, with many naming names. Furthermore, evidence of an organized attack is multitudinous in these reports. For the administration to have claimed it had no information that indicated that organized terrorists might have been involved is to assert that the administration doesn’t read the media. Not even the Drudge Report, apparently. At 7:00 AM ET on September 12 Drudge had a main headline and link to a Reuters report that contained:
~U.S. government officials said the Benghazi attack may have been planned in advance and there were indications that members of a militant faction calling itself Ansar al Sharia - which translates as Supporters of Islamic Law - may have been involved. ... They also said some reporting from the region suggested that members of Al-Qaeda's north Africa-based affiliate, known as Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, may have been involved.~
For the Obama administration to adamantly insist for weeks afterwards that the Benghazi consulate attack was solely the result of a spontaneous demonstration can only be a result of a deliberate plan of propaganda to lie to the American people. Obama played stupid and expected his sycophantic press to play stupid as well and cover for him. Of course, they did, but not until after they got their talking points from the administration, which was a couple of days late. By then they had already let the cat out of the bag...
I’m not sure it helps if we prove they lied. They just explain it with the “Bush lied us into war in Iraq” by exaggerating WMD. O can claim he was trying to not exaggerate terrorist threats and get a pass (because he is after all winner of Nobel Peace Prize. LOL).
I think it more productive to explore whether a distress call went out? Was it ignored? Who said “stand down”? Why did SOS Hillary and O leave this bastion unprotected and then when the SHTF just sacrificed them to the savages?
They kept the lie going with taxpayer money to make an apology ad regarding the film they blamed. The poor film maker is still sitting in a jail!
For making the film?
He went to jail for having fake identities, broke his probation. His so called film was done for the sole purpose of besmirching Jews and Christians of which he is neither.
Then so do his fbi handlers...and everyone else up the foodchain.

“The “Innocence of Muslims,” the film blamed for provoking the violence, was the work of a California-based Israeli filmmaker Sam Bacile, according to a report by the Associated Press.
It portrays Mohammad as a fool, a philanderer and a religious fake and in one clip posted on YouTube, he was shown in an apparent sexual act with a woman. For many Muslims it is blasphemous even to show a depiction of the Prophet.
Bacile, who described himself to AP as an Israeli Jew, spoke to the agency from hiding on Tuesday. He said that the film, which cost $5 million to make, was intended as a political statement and was financed by more than 100 Jewish donors.
Egypt's Coptic Orthodox Church, meanwhile, condemned Copts living abroad who it said had financed “the production of a film insulting the Prophet Mohammad”. About a 10th of Egypt's 83 million people are Christian.”
As far as Bush supposedly lying about WMDs, I debunk that here: #16 The Quiet Funeral of "Bush Lied - Thousands Died!" If you are interested.
“Who said ‘Stand down””?
This is the important question because it is the factor in the resulting deaths of 4 Americans.
I think we need to hear more about that “stand down” order.
I thought he was a Copt (christian).
That is exactly what you are suppose to think given the reporting. There is nothing Christian about him.
What is so unbelievable about Libyan film critics running amok? Have you not seen the photos of Roger Ebert standing outside a theater with a mortar?
The charge found was daring to use the internet while on probation...nothing related to the production of the film.

This link has been posted many times, and always somebody shows up saying they don’t trust the writer... Well I was searching for answers not hunting for a body to ‘trust’ and what this guy says explains a whole lot.
