The word "doctoring" is completely misleading here.
Definition: to tamper with; falsify: He doctored the birthdate on his passport.
Let's use an issue from the Bush years to make this plain.
When Bush gave his State of the Union speech a few years ago where he yellowcake uranium, many people had a hand in crafting and shaping the speech. Speech writers, the CIA, administration officials. None of those people doctored the talking points since they're considered an argument that's part of a process. What WOULD be doctoriing is if someone in the administration altered an official report which, by the way, Bush officials did with scientific studies prior to their official release.
Frankly, I would fully expect administration officials to be involved in shaping the message that Rice was going to deliver because Rice was an administration official. Now, if you could show me that someone in the administration altered an official report written by someone else and did so without attribution, then you'd have something.
Panetta and Ham said during their testimony that from the outset they realized this was a planned terror attack that had nothing to do with a video.
The person who crafted this video talking point in the email by the way happens to be the brother of the President of CBS.
And how did they 'know' that exactly?
Geez! Read the freaking email! HIS NAME IS PRINTED RIGHT ON IT!
