60 Minutes: Benghazi was a sophisticated Al Queda operation

SMH....

 

Wearing it for Halloween?

 

No -- it would scare my kids too much

 

I haven't hurled an insult. You've called me several names without provocation. It doesn't bother me at all. I was just curious how you somehow managed to be raised without anyone teaching you manners. And then you manage to supposedly go through the military and still never managed to learn manners or how to engage civilly. Call people all the names you want, but don't pretend like everyone here does the same to you.

 

Ooops!

Don't you just hate it when you do a big story to satisfy the wing nuts and to show you're "fair and balanced" and it turns out your main source for the story is, well, a liar?!

From Today's WaPo

Here's how the WP describes what he told 60 minutes;

The man whom CBS called Morgan Jones, a pseudonym, described racing to the Benghazi compound while the attack was underway, scaling a 12-foot wall and downing an extremist with the butt end of a rifle as he tried in vain to rescue the besieged Americans.

But here's what the WP says he wrote in a report to his employer three days after the attack.

But in a written account that Jones, whose real name was confirmed as Dylan Davies by several officials who worked with him in Benghazi, provided to his employer three days after the attack, he told a different story of his experiences that night.

In Davies’s 21 / 2-page incident report to Blue Mountain, the Britain-based contractor hired by the State Department to handle perimeter security at the compound, he wrote that he spent most of that night at his Benghazi beach-side villa. Although he attempted to get to the compound, he wrote in the report, “we could not get anywhere near . . . as roadblocks had been set up.”

He learned of Stevens’s death, Davies wrote, when a Libyan colleague who had been at the hospital came to the villa to show him a cellphone picture of the ambassador’s blackened corpse.

 

So this guy was just promoting his book

Report: Benghazi witness was nowhere near diplomatic compound during terrorist attack

security subcontractor who gave his account to CBS “60 Minutes” of the events leading up to the fatal attack at Benghazi had previously told his employers he was nowhere near the diplomatic compound at the time, according to a Washington Post report.

The Oct. 27 television report was based on a yearlong investigation by reporter Lara Logan and producer Max McCellan and featured an interview with a man identified by the pseudonym “Morgan Jones,” who was described as “a security officer who witnessed the attack.”

A Fox News correspondent said the following day that the network had been working on a story with the same security officer, but those efforts ended when he asked for money in exchange for his participation.

Threshold Editions, which specializes in “conservative non-fiction,” published a book Tuesday by the same source, called The Embassy House: The Explosive Eyewitness Account of the Libyan Embassy Siege by the Soldier Who Was There.

The Washington Post report, published Thursday, said the book largely backs up the account provided to “60 Minutes,” but the newspaper says the source provided a written account to his employers three days after the attack that he’d spent the night of the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack at his own beachside villa in Benghazi.

“We could not get anywhere near (the diplomatic compound) as roadblocks had been set up,” said the security contractor, whose real name was confirmed as Dylan Davies by officials who’d worked with him in Libya.

The newspaper reported that Davies provided a 2 ½-page incident report to his employer, Blue Mountain, the British contractor hired by the State Department to guard the compound’s perimeter.

Davies said he learned U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens had been killed in the raid showed him a cell phone photo of the diplomat’s charred remains, and the security officer visited the still-smoking compound the following day to photograph what was left.

The “60 Minutes” report claimed the security officer had scaled a 12-foot wall while it was still overrun with Al Qaeda forces, and Davies said on the program that he’d personally struck one of the terrorists in the face with the butt of his rifle.

He also told “60 Minutes” that he’d gone to the hospital and seen Stevens’ body.

Davies told CBS that he and a Foreign Service officer had been worried about security at the compound.

The security officer’s co-author told The Washington Post that Davies may have been dishonest in his incident report because his employer had asked him to stay away from the compound after he was told of the attack by telephone.

A CBS spokesman told the newspaper that the network stands firmly behind its story as it aired Sunday.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) used the “60 Minutes” report to justify calling Monday for additional hearings into Benghazi and threatened to block Senate appointments until lawmakers had heard from all the surviving witnesses to the attack.

However, Graham conceded Wednesday that witnesses have already been questioned by members of Congress, but their testimony hasn’t been publicly released because the investigations are still ongoing.

David Brock, chairman of Media Matters, has called on CBS to retract its Benghazi report based on the security officer’s comments.

 

Oops!

 

I BLAME OBAMA!

 

why are the liberals afraid of the full story, from eyewitness accounts?

 

said book

 

OBAMA LIES, MY HEALTHCARE PLAN DIES

 

No pithy retort basso?

Or will you slink away until the next email chain hits your inbox?

 

The reason they blocked all survivors and eyewitness accounts from testify so they can protect their current dear leader, and get ready for their next " what difference does it make" dear leader in 2016.

 

It's almost like you guys don't even read the articles posted.

Here, let me help you.

The amount you are wrong about the facts of this particular case is really amazing. Someone would almost have to be trying to be wrong that much.

 

'60 Minutes' Says It Is 'Reviewing' Benghazi Piece After New Reports Contradict Key Witness Story

In the possible first sign of a major climbdown, "60 Minutes" announced Thursday night that it is "reviewing" its controversial report on the Benghazi attacks after finding what reports say is further evidence that one of its main sources lied repeatedly.

 

Here's the " further evidence"

Accounts Differ to F.B.I. and CBS on Benghazi

Mr. Davies told the F.B.I. that he was not on the scene until the morning after the attack.

 

Looks like someone got busted lying in an effort to slam the administration.
