The Frothing Benghazi Republicans are really, really

[courseofhistory]

hateful and/or really, really dumb. You'd think they would know and care about not revealing classified information.

They keep saying that the lie was about the video. At no time did anyone, including Susan Rice say definitely the attacks were due to the video. They repeatedly said things like "we will wait for a definitive answer as to motive and identity of the perpetrators/group until the investigation is completed, based on our assessment at the moment..., things could change as the investigation progresses..., based on the atmosphere of general protests in the region, it isn't unreasable to think the video might have been a factor, etc., etc.

Maybe some republican senators need lessons on classified information deemed not available to the general public either temporarily or permanently.

These deranged, rabid senators are doing a huge disservice to the intelligence community, the American public and national security by continuing to harp on bogus "lies", etc. It will either cause the intelligence community to further insulate itself from divulging ANY information to the American people OR it will open up a chasm so wide in the community that secrets and classified intelligence being revealed to the US public (and thereby our enemies), we will have no defenses or protections from foreign enemies/attacks!

Way to go, McCain, Graham, Ayotte and other republican morons!

Executive Order 13526

The present standards for classifying and declassifying information were last amended on December 29, 2009.19 Under these standards, the President, Vice President, agency heads, and any other officials designated by the President may classify information upon a determination that the unauthorized disclosure of such information could reasonably be expected to damage national security.20 Such information must be owned by, produced by, or under the control of the federal government, and must concern one of the following:

intelligence activities, intelligence sources/methods, cryptology;

Information may be classified at one of three levels based on the amount of danger that its unauthorized disclosure could reasonably be expected to cause to national security.22 Information is classified as “Top Secret” if its unauthorized disclosure could reasonably be expected to cause“exceptionally grave damage” to national security. The standard for “Secret” information is “serious damage” to national security, while for “confidential” information the standard is “damage” to national security. Significantly, for each level, the original classifying officer must identify or describe the specific danger potentially presented by the information’s disclosure.23 In case of significant doubt as to the need to classify information or the level of classification

No...some of us just want the truth..all of it. Shame on us. Wonder if you'd be saying the same thing if it were a GOP POTUS?

Funny how they were so angry when they saw a picture of a dog barking at an al qaeda terrorist, but think the killings of 4 americans is no big deal !!

To the thread author.....ok, drop the video stuff...more importantly is the Security question. Why wasnt this place secured better? After all the warnings prior to 9/11? And denied security...in fact had security taken away? Why? Shouldn't someone answer for that? Stevens himself was worried. And what about the lack of response to help them?

Liberoidals don't give a fuck as long as the liars and cover-uppers have that (D) by thier names.

Four bumps in the road.

Obama lied about a terror attack on 9/11 that killed 4 Americans

Obama told his UN Ambassador to tell the same lie

Obama then ordered the CIA to cover up his lie

Obama did a Saturday Night Massacre on his CIA Director when he wouldn't participate in the cover up

Many here who called Romney every name in the book voted for him.

Pure Pubcrappe, dupes.

Things dupes haven't heard:

1. Help arrived at the semi-consulate within 25 minutes.
2. 20+ other embassies were attacked before Bengazi the same day because of that video.
3. EVERYONE followed CIA info as it came out. No lies, no conspiracy...

As Rice said, today, the only thing she said that was wrong was that there had been a demonstration. Also from the CIA, and just like 20+ other embassies and missions that day.

The topic isn't Romney, dickless.

AND- The biggest RW/Islamist talk show host in Cairo (ie Arab world) was demagogging the video and telling people to protest at US embassies.

Dupes are SO IGNORANT, and Pubs are incredible liars. LOL!

 

[whitehall]

The truth was classified? Why invent a bogus you tube video? Why didn't the administration give Benghazi more security? How could a president watch American property torched and Americans killed without lifting a finger to help?
