Mark Mardell, the BBC's North American editor, issued a mea culpa of sorts today after Jonathan Karl at ABC News dropped his bombshell that proves beyond any doubt that the Obama Administration lied about its involvement in editing the CIA's talking points surrounding the September 11 attack on our consulate in Libya.
In a piece titled, "After Benghazi revelations, heads will roll," Mardell writes, "In the interests of full disclosure I have to say I have not in the past been persuaded that allegations of a cover-up were a big deal." He adds, "It seemed to me a partisan attack based on very little."
That all changed with today's revelations. Mardell now believes:
This is the first hard evidence that the state department did ask for changes to the CIA's original assessment.
Specifically, they wanted references to previous warnings deleted and this sentence removed: "We do know that Islamic extremists with ties to al-Qa'ida participated in the attack."
There's little doubt in my mind that this will haunt Hillary Clinton if she decides to run for president, unless she executes some pretty fancy footwork....

bombings in Tripoli just happened
divert the Medias attention?
Shoot, you couldn’t drag ‘em to a Benghazi story with a tractor.
The only one who is really is covering is Fox News.
The Mail is one of those great rarities, a right-leaning newspaper. They are quite vociferous in their criticism of the BBC.
No, they are coming to the table because ABC went first.
Pretty much it is doing what the American will not do!
The QUESTION? "WHO ISSUED THE ORDER TO STAND DOWN?"
Here's General McInerney's take on that one.
Lt. General Thomas McInerney joined Lou Dobbs to discuss the Benghazi massacre and coverup.
McInerney told Dobbs, There is only one person who can say stand down and thats the president. Via Lou Dobbs Tonight on FOX Business:
Lt. General Mclnerney: There is only one person who can say, stand down. And that is the President of the United States. For us to deny forces to go to the aid or our people we never leave people behind, Lou, he continued. And thats where the dereliction of duty comes in and it permeates the whole command and control system. To say we couldnt get the airplanes down there, we couldnt get approval for air space
.that doesnt matter, Lou
you take action and you move out. Im actually ashamed of the way our military responded not the men and women, but our senior leaders and its disgraceful.

Just looking at his “smile”, I’d never know he was British. /s
“There’s little doubt in my mind that this will haunt Hillary Clinton if she decides to run for president, unless she executes some pretty fancy footwork”
Be kinda hard to execute fancy footwork with those cankles wouldn’t it?
Congratulations! Such an admission can be a true step forward for you toward becoming the journalist you pretend to be.
Set aside your bias and let the facts tell the story instead, be it "global warming" or any other progressive scheme, including the scam of the obama presidency.
Yep, and MOrons on comedycentral are trying to ridicule them for it.
Do you think that would stop her? If Obama was asleep at the switch,I can see the witch taking charge. I’m sure that, like everything else ,they figured nothing would come of their actions or inaction.
Clinton ain’t the type to go down alone, if she falls into the pit she’ll drag down anyone and everyone she can with her.
Yet Fox News keeps going just like the energizer bunny.
This whole ugly mess is 10 times worse than Watergate. If this does not reach proper fruition then the MSM will be historically viewed as a co-conspirator.
She’ll take them with her...or pay them off to support her...or threaten nasty business if they don’t.
I’ll believe it when I see heads roll.
