CNN has obtained an e-mail sent by a top aide to President Barack Obama about White House reaction to the deadly attack last September 11 on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, that apparently differs from how sources characterized it to two different media organizations.
The actual e-mail from then-Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Ben Rhodes appears to show that whomever leaked it did so in a way that made it appear that the White House was primarily concerned with the State Department's desire to remove references and warnings about specific terrorist groups so as to not bring criticism to the department.

I’ve read this three times..
It’s over my head.
I see nothing here.
Tapper is being played. Nobody altered emails, unless it was the WH. Calm down...this is BS misdirection.
There is nothing here....lol... But misdirection and spin.
it’s funny out media outlets like CNN and always release updates contradicting earlier stories that they’ve never reported on in the first place.
I imagine it must confuse some of their viewers what in the world they’re talking about.
Thank you!!!
this story is worthless, blatant Dem obfuscation.
release all emails, interview all military, cia, fbi and survivors. NOW
Maybe I’m dreaming, but I have deja vu when I read the Rhodes email. Does anyone else recall having already seen that?
A few leftist lemmings who clung to roots on the cliff face have now climbed back up and will attempt to redeem themselves by reporting things that make the Obama WH look good.
Nice try.

I agree. The story is just a symantic word game to distract and confuse. It provides no substance to the issues.
Rhodes could have sent this by agreement.......say to 0bama.......just in case.
Thank you very much!
Of course, because that’s exactly what a Republican working in the White House would do.
Wait...
Here’s something I wish the media should have asked about right away.
If Nakoula’s movie was so insulting it caused a violent protest, sacking of an embassy and the murder of 4 staff members, why was Benghazi the ONLY protest we ever heard about?
Oh well, too late now.
I was wondering when the “missing 18 minutes analogy to Watergate” would happen.... Any chance that since the original emails were published a couple of weeks ago (from ABC News no less) that a “new” improved version of WH emails would appear out of thin air to validate the WH argument that Republicans fabricated the first ones???
HIGH CRIMES!
So it must have been a Republican in the White House who altered the email? Was this during Bush’s time there? That was the last time there were any Repubs in the WH.
>> When Tapper says something like this I begin to worry.
No doubt. You’ve shown that “concern troll” streak before.
Thank you!
This is from democratic campaigner Jake. Looks like Jake just altered emails again to divert attention for the loyalist that believe him by telling yet anther lie.
Unforutnaly for him we already have witness testimony and contradictions directly from the horses mouth.
Only a fool would believe his so called “source” is not just telling anther lie.
