REPORT: Never an Anti-American Protest in Benghazi, Only a Planned Attack
◼ CBS reports this morning that witnesses are saying "that there was never an anti-American protest outside of the consulate [in Benghazi, Libya]. Instead, they say, it came under planned attack. That is in direct contradiction to the administration's account of the incident." - Daniel Halper/Weekly Standard
"What's clear," the CBS reporter concludes, "is that the public won't get a detailed account of what happened until after the election."
◼ In the months leading up to his death, Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, worried about constant security threats in Benghazi and mentioned that his name was on an al Qaeda hit list, a source familiar with his thinking told CNN. - CNN
