ABC
News: Obama Admin scrubbed terror
references in Benghazi talking points
By John Nolte

UPDATE:
Here are the 12 talking point
revisions. Keep in mind the Obama Administration has repeatedly denied
making
these revisions and denied straight through to Sept 19 that there was
any
evidence of a terror attack.
It
looks as though after eight long months, the
wheels might have finally come off the Obama Administration's coverup
of the
September 11th anniversary attacks in Libya. To justify lies told for
over a
week about a spontaneous protest, the White House has consistently
insisted
they had relied on CIA talking points that only the intelligence
community had
drafted and revised.
Standing
on the shoulders of the Weekly
Standard's Stephen Hayes, ABC News's Jonathan Karl has obtained 12
different
versions of these now-infamous CIA talking points, and what he found

administration (mostly State) removed all "references to the Al
Qaeda-affiliated group Ansar al-Sharia be deleted as well references to
CIA
warnings about terrorist threats in Benghazi in the months preceding
the
attack."
Former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's
State Department apparently did most of the editing. In his Good
Morning
America report Friday morning, Karl said that emails have been read

directed by Hillary Clinton spokesperson at the State Department,
Victoria
Nuland. In one email she said that information about CIA warnings
'could be
used by members [of Congress] to beat up the State Department for not
paying
attention to warnings, so why would we want to feed that…'
After
that email all of those references were
deleted.
The
most damning part of Karl's report, though,
is this quote he references from White House spokesman Jay Carney from
November
28, 2012:
The
White House and the State Department have
made clear that the single adjustment that was made to those talking
points by
either of those two institutions were changing the word ‘consulate’ to
‘diplomatic facility’ because ‘consulate’ was inaccurate…
