EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An ongoing Congressional investigation across five House Committees concerning the events surrounding the September 11, 2012, terrorist attacks on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya has made several determinations to date, including: - Reductions of security levels prior to the attacks in Benghazi were approved at the highest levels of the State Department, up to and including Secretary Clinton. This fact contradicts her testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on January 23, 2013. - In the days following the attacks, White House and senior State Department officials altered accurate talking points drafted by the Intelligence Community in orderto protect the State Department. -Contrary to Administration rhetoric, the talking points were not edited to protect classified information. Concern for classified information is never mentioned in email traffic among senior Administration officials. These preliminary findings illustrate the need for continued examination and oversight by the five House Committees. The Committees will continue to review who exactly was responsible for the failure to respond to the repeated requests for more security and for the effort to cover up the nature of the attacks, so that appropriate officials will be held accountable.

<There have been two fulcrum events in the accounting of what happened in Benghazi. The first was U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice's September 16 declarations on TV that Benghazi was part of the Islamic world's violent, spontaneous reaction to the incendiary California YouTube video. > THAT is a "fulcrum event"?? Ummm, geese... who coulda made THAT mistake!! ROFLMAO But then who woulda made the mistake that Iraq actually DIDNT have WMD's.... Same crap, different party throwing mud. Gotta have a scape goat if yer gonna sell web hits!! Same ole. DAK
