Intercepted Phone Call That The Administration Relied Upon To Claim A "Protest" At Benghazi ALSO CONTAINED ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM AL QAEDA THAT THEY WOULD PROCEED WITH THE PLANNED ATTACK
Sorry if that headline is confusing. Let me unpack it:
The Administration claims it did have some basis for claiming this attack was somehow related to a "protest" about the YouTube video.
There was no protest. But they claimed "intelligence" told them there might be some link to a protest. So they're claiming they might have been wrong, but they weren't deliberately wrong-- also known as lying. In error, but not in deceit, they claim.
Well, we now know the contents of that single strand of intelligence suggesting there might be a protest (which was incorrect intelligence).
That single strand of intelligence was a message from an Al Qaeda group saying they would go ahead with their planned attack, given there were protests erupting in other parts of the world.GO READ THE WHOLE THING.
