If it's true then no, it's not okay... however the cynic in me immediately thought, "so the liars are calling liars liars?"
But let's look at the story for a moment... http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/obama-spokesman-accuses-republicans-of-leaking-falsified-benghazi-e-mail/2013/05/14/5ab73d2c-bcde-11e2-97d4-a479289a31f9_story.html (bold emphasis in quotes is mine). There appears to be one email, "New revelations about *the e-mail* in question appeared to give the administration a modest offensive weapon during a week of defensive crouching..." which was altered. There were 99 pages of emails. A simple search turned up these emails at http://abcnews.go.com/images/Politics/white-house-benghazi-emails.pdf and http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/interactive/2013/05/politics/white-house-benghazi-emails/white-house-benghazi-emails.pdf Reading through them, even without any potential edits by anyone, reveals that what was trotted out to the American public by Susan Rice is not what what was originally known. Indeed, it was chopped, diced and spun quite a bit. Statements like "I've consulted with colleagues and the only statement that might have implications for prosecution is the first bullet. Recommend adding text indicated to add some insulation." Something else that's been pointed out... the first date of the emails is from 9/14. The attack happened on 9/11... where are the missing days? Beyond the emails is the testimony, which IMO the emails are a side-show to. Some folks have looked at what happened and said, "this wasn't a terrorist attack. This was a military assault." Apparently some reports have this going on for 8 hours using military tactics and weapons. Even if you accept the change to the one email (the truth of which, I'm sure, lies somewhere in the middle of the statements), there is still ample evidence of "ass-covering" to make one more than a bit skeptical. But leave it to the media to find a convenient way to shift the attention of the American public yet again. I'm just surprised they haven't dropped the story that researchers in Oregon have been able to successfully clone a human embryo yet. Guess they'll hold that one for the next time they need a convenient distraction. Until Later! C. Hatton Humphrey http://www.eastcoastconservative.com Every cloud does have a silver lining. Sometimes you just have to do some smelting to find it. On Fri, May 17, 2013 at 9:34 AM, Larry C. Lyons <[email protected]>wrote: > > but the people who did it are Republican.
