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.
