DIANA WEST: UPDATE PETRAEUS AND BENGHAZI
http://www.dianawest.net/Home/tabid/36/EntryId/2435/Update-Petraeus-and-Benghazi.aspx
Fox News reports that following Senate fury (when?) over a heavily redacted set of White House documents pertaining to the 9/11/12 attack on the US compound in Benghazi, a second set of documents “were delivered to Capitol Hill Thursday night which had only minimal redactions.”
… Senators have asked to see the documents as a part of their inquiry into the attack on Benghazi. Senators also wanted the documents before they were willing to vote on John Brennan to be Director of Central Intelligence.
A committee vote on Brennan’s nomination is set for Tuesday.
The documents reveal various email traffic about the “talking points” which were passed through a litany of Washington power centers: The White House, the FBI, the CIA, and the Justice Department. The source questions why it took the Obama administration months to deliver the information when all of these agencies had dealt with the email traffic.
Sources said the emails revealed heavy editing by then-CIA Director David Petraeus. The talking points evolved as they were passed around various intelligence and security hubs, and scrubbed of language referring to “al Qa’ida.” They also seemed to indicate an effort to paint the Sept. 11 attack as a demonstration and not a planned attack, the source said.
“The word ‘attacks’ was changed to ‘demonstration,’” the source said.
Will Petraeus be called back to answer for his cover-up and lies to Congress — serious criminal offenses?
