Sources: Intel Community Didn't Rule Out Terrorism in Rice Talking Points

It now looks as though the White House's excuse for the pre-election Libya cover-up is itself a cover up. Last week we were told by the Administration (and the compliant media) that during her now-infamous round robin of five Sunday news shows, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice was only telling us what she was told by the intelligence community. We were also told that references to al-Qaeda were edited out of the talking points in order to avoid tipping off the attackers that we were on to them. According to a number of CBS News' sources, this simply isn't true.

As recently as yesterday, though, Rice doubled down on this defense:

"I relied soley and squarely on the information provided to me by the intelligence community. I made clear that the information was preliminary and that our investigations would give us the definitive answers."

At first glance, Rice's comments might not appear to move the ball, but they do tell us that the Administration has found its defense and intends to stick to it -- that defense being that Rice was only parroting the false information she was given. But now, thanks to some good reporting from CBS News, we know things weren't that simple.

Let's back up just a little bit…

Last week, former CIA Chief Davis Petraeus testified that within a day he knew the assault on our consulate in Benghazi was a premeditated terrorist attack committed by a Libyan militia with ties to al-Qaeda. As a result, Petraeus authorized the release of this information to the public in talking points to be given to the White House and to lawmakers.

(sigh) I think I’ll go join the rest of America on Facebook and post what I’m cooking for supper.

What happened to Ty Woods’ father? Where is Sean Smith’s mother? Where is Stevens’ family? Doherty’s family? Where are the SEALs? Why has the peripheral world gone deathly silent?
Ping.

I think they realize that when Obama won (stole the election)...they all lost any hope of bringing the truth about Benghazi into the light by traditional/legal means.

It doesn't mean that they have given up...just that any hope they have now depends on what can be done...er, in other venues.

Someone needs to hire mercenaries to go over to Benghazi to shoot up a certain neighborhood there. It would be front and center then.

"Because of the various elements involved in the attack, the term extremist was meant to capture the range of participants."

They wanted to imply Republicans were involved?

Extremist is a word always used to describe anybody that believes in a literal interpretation of the Constitution.

We are at war with Eurasia. We have always been at war with Eurasia.

He didn’t call it an act of terror. He referred to terrorism in general, but didn’t specify that Benghazi was an act of terror.

ding ... definitely far more sinister. Think of the infiltration alone, and the information currently held by the infiltrators. Next think of the ways the infiltrators are distributing the information and to whom. wonder if we will ever see justice Think reeducation, after years of marxists educating our young. Think of their options. They have been patient, and America is where America is because of their patience. Best Guess, if the enemies of Freedom are not completely in control, the enemies will be in a short period of time. Thank you. Your post set off a ding.

I'm pretty sure that if you plant an Al Quaeda flag during a terrorist attack, you don't care if you're tipping America off about your terrorist ties and affiliations.

That's like saying we didn't mention Elton John's sequin covered glasses because we didn't want to tip him off that we knew he was gay.

LOL!

Is Rice really a lesbian?

Are there any straight people in the Obama administration besides Petraeus?

Love the clever change in your name from Nita Nuprez to Nita Nupress!
