One new revelation:
Per FoxNews this morning before the presser, Panetta, Obama and Clinton were on a conference call around 7:30 p.m. (DC time) as the attack was still in process. One of their action items/excuses was discussion of a video.
Per previous timelines, the video seemed to come into being the next day (9-12) when Clinton was giving her initial public statement.

So, who brought up an obscure video to blame during that 7:30 conference? Apparently, the discussion showed they participants knew it was not the cause. So who suggested it as the excuse?
==
Another revelation:
By the time of the 7:30 conference, Panetta had ordered a military action team to be dispatched.
Military team apparently changed into and out of uniforms several times, as the commanders did not know whether to proceed as a uniformed or clandestined action team.
State Department apparently countered those orders and a conflict developed between State and the Pentagon. Thus, no team was dispatched.
==
9-11 Clinton sent Chelsea an email that it was al-Qaeda who attacked the ambassador/consolate. [Did not hear the time that email was sent.]
Thanks for the update.
