The
administration is now releasing top secret intelligence memos to demonstrate
that Ambassador Rice’s September 16 talk show statements were the result
of bad intelligence (Early
Uncertainty on Libya Account, WSJ, October 19).
If our
intelligence community could not debrief consulate personnel, interview eye
witnesses, examine the surveillance camera and drone satellite tapes, talk with
Libyan officials within five days after the attack, this in itself is a
national scandal of huge proportions.
The New
York Times October 16 Election-Year
Stakes Overshadow Nuances of Libya Investigation had already completed
this work within a day of the attack (but chose not to share its results with
its readers).
We must
ask why exculpatory secret intelligence information is being released now to
aid the President’s campaign and why our intelligence community purports to
have been asleep at the wheel, especially after one of their top officials had
already testified under oath that this was clearly a terrorist attack.
Why is
the intelligence community falling on its sword to help the President get
reelected?
Is the NYT pulling a Candy Crowley for the next Monday (a preemptive to the Monday's debate)?

Monday might be a replay of Bush (R) & Dukakis (D) on some issues, especially, on defense:
