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....

By the time “2016” comes around, Fox News will be just like the energizer bunny, keeping on going.
Look for this scandel to take a “health toll” on Hillary.
“FRink!”
LOL.
He could say the words but he can't avoid the responsibility as there is only one CIC. It's rather like his efforts to legislate via executive orders, he is not allowed to create legislation without going through congress. The Constitution mandates "separation of powers" and no matter how much you wiggle and dance that's just the way it is.

Interesting because the BBC is totally in the tank for any and all liberals... They never move off the plantation... does anyone understand why they would chose to ‘get’ this?
