It appears truth consistently eludes liberals at every turn. There is a thread up on this board based on an edited lie at Media Matters. Here are the true screen shots directly from the Weekly Standard article.
Note how Version 1 includes the potential of an AQ attack.
Check out the changes in Version 2.
And then
the total fabrication by the White House in Version 3. What a tangled web we weave, when we practice to deceive.
Busted. Because the White House and the Administration blatantly formatted this version by removing all references to AQ.
From the article and please it's worth the read:
There is little information about what happened at that meeting of the Deputies Committee.
But according to two officials with knowledge of the process, Mike Morrell, deputy director of the CIA, made broad changes to the draft afterwards.
Morrell cut all or parts of four paragraphs of the six-paragraph talking points148 of its 248 words (see Version 2 above).
Gone were the reference to Islamic extremists, the reminders of agency warnings about al Qaeda in Libya, the reference to jihadists in Cairo, the mention of possible surveillance of the facility in Benghazi, and the report of five previous attacks on foreign interests.
What remainedand would be included in the final version of the talking pointswas mostly boilerplate about ongoing investigations and working with the Libyan government, together with bland language suggesting that the violent demonstrationsno longer attackswere spontaneous responses to protests in Egypt and may have included generic extremists (see Version 3 above).
