Congressional Democrats on Sunday distanced themselves from the Obama administration’s explanation of the Benghazi, Libya, attacks in the immediate aftermath of the fatal strikes, amid mounting evidence that suggests the information was revised to intentionally mislead Americans.
The original explanation of the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks on the U.S. outpost in Benghazi, Libya, was written by CIA officials, then revised by State Department and White House officials, according to news reports and witness testimony made available to Fox News.
Removed from the CIA's so-called talking points were references to “Islamic extremists” and Al Qaeda in Libya And five days later, Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, made the Sunday talk show rounds to say the attacks were, in fact, “demonstrations” sparked by protests in Egypt over an anti-Islamic video on YouTube.
However, the video is never mentioned in the numerous talking-points drafts, according to a Weekly Standard story last week, based in part on a 43-page House report and records of official emails.
“Well, it was scrubbed,” Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Steve Lynch told “Fox News Sunday.” “It was totally inaccurate. There's no excuse for that. It was false information.
Lynch also acknowledged the talking points were likely revised to reflect President Obama’s decry – with his re-election bid in the balance -- that “Al Qaeda is on the run.”

Never mind the several months of LIES from every member of the regime!
Can’t wait to listen to Matt Drudge tonight. Bet he’ll be talking about this most of the show.
Mounting evidence that 0bama screwed the pooch?
I am prying Ozone goes down and takes Kankles with him.
WARNING! Look for a manufactured crisis to occur in the next few days to take attention off Benghazi. They have proven they do not care if Americans die.
Drudge on radio? I did not know that. What station?
Where/how can I listen to Drudge?
Secty Rice, get under that bus!
Drudge isn’t on the radio any more, unfortunately. He used to have a Sunday evening show on WABC. John Batchelor will probably cover this tonight - wabcradio.com - 9 PM EDT.
But Hillary would say, what difference does it make? I expect the media to bury this story.
What a shame. I was hoping to listen to him tonight. Oh well, John Batchelor is good too and without the laugh track Drudge used.
Can you hear part of WABC’s internet bumber music here??

Are these the same Dems that vehemently defended her in the week following her Sunday show blitz? Are we still at war with Eastasia or is it Westasia? What does the talking points memo say?
Thanks for that, Used to listen to him faithfully, but, it’s been a while.
Didn’t Bill Cunningham ,”the great American, take over for Drudge? He’s simply awful!
The media will not like it though. They know it was a gun running operation and is classified and therefor cannot be discussed in public.
Her famous “what difference foes it make” will haunt her . I am not holding my breath, but I am praying and keeping my fingers crossed.
Bob Schieffer was all worked up about this on Slay the Nation. I fully expect him to have an unfortunate accident in the coming days.
Interesting. They sent a Mass. Dem to say the administration lied. “Inexcusable” he said.
Maybe the Boston Marathon bombing knocked some sense into a few people.
It’s too late.
They backed Hussein to the hilt — the ‘Rats own him and his non-stop bungling now.
It got him and the media re-elected which was the goal. Nobody in the media is going to chase this scandal.
Pray for America to Wake Up
