How many times did former CIA Acting Director Michael Morell say the word "analysts" in last week's House Intelligence hearing on Benghazi ? 100 times ? 200 ? Obviously this pitiful excuse for a public official, is saying anything he can to save his skin, while continuing to shield the Obama Administration from the criticism it deserves to be negligent in the Benghazi terrorist attack that killed 4 Americans.
When questioned about why the information (talking points as they're called) were censored and changed from that supplied by the CIA's Chief of Station (the guys on the ground in Benghazi) and "sanitized" to show a protest (of an anti-Muslim video), instead of the pure terrorist attack that it was, Morrell repeated claimed that he was going by information given to him by his "ANALYSTS" in Washington DC.
Big Red flag right there. Why does a top CIA guy whose information being sent to the State Dept is critical to the lives of the guys on the ground in Benghazi, rely upon the words of a bunch of relative know-nothings in Washington, instead of listening to the guys on the ground in Benghazi, who were THERE and seeing things with their own eyes ? I would say that is one of the dumbest mistakes anybody could ever make, if I didn't believe this guy was the biggest phony to come down the pike in quite some time, and that his whole testimony is a deceitful pile of crap. His assertion that we still do not know the motivations of those who carried out the attack, is absurd, still clinging to the idea that the anti-Muslim video may have played a role.
Further evidence is that many months before this, Morrell was present at a hearing where all this was being questioned, and, as sharp-witted Congressman Peter King (P-NY) said >> before anyone knew of the doctored "talking points" Morell just sat there silent, and said nothing, when he could have and SHOULD HAVE told it all then.
What needs to be done now, since so many assertions are flying around like bats out of hell, is get ALL of the parties involved, including the "analysts" whoever they are, together in one room, and grill them ALL, until their ears fall off.
Lastly, they should be grilling those in the administration about why we aren't going after the people (we know who they are) who committed these despicable murders, and bring them to justice (al Qaeda of no al Qaeda).
