House Intel Committee dismisses some Benghazi myths
By LAUREN FRENCH 11/21/14 7:24 PM EST

The House Intelligence Committee dismissed on Friday a number of the most persistent myths about the 2012 terrorist attacks at a diplomatic outpost in Benghazi.
The committee, chaired by Republican Chairman Mike Rogers of Michigan, found the U.S. government didn’t fail to send assistance to the Americans under siege by Islamic militants and there was no “stand down order” from the State Department. The committee also dismissed the notion that there was an “intelligence failure” the allowed the attacks to occur.

But the committee did rule that a number of individuals involved with Al Qaeda were involved with the attacks and Abu Sufian bin Qumu, a Libyan national, “probably played some role” in the attacks. Qumu was a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay before he was transferred to Libya in 2001.

The only REAL issue of Benghazi was that the administration LIED about it afterwards, and this report concludes that they did.

But because there are all these other speculations, the media gets to spin that the report “dismissed” the “myths”, when those myths were nothing more than questions about whether things happened or not.

A fair media would report that the intelligence committee “resolved questions” and determined that the administration lied about the reasons for the attack in order to win an election.
