Owner59 -> Republicans Altered Benghazi Emails, CBS News Report Claims (5/16/2013 9:48:12 PM)
Oh What a Tangled Web We Weave When First We Practice to Deceive "One day after The White House released 100 pages of Benghazi emails, a report has surfaced alleging that Republicans released a set with altered text. CBS News reported Thursday that leaked versions sent out by the GOP last Friday had visible differences than Wednesday's official batch. Two correspondences that were singled out in the report came from National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes and State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland. The GOP version of Rhodes' comment, according to CBS News: "We must make sure that the talking points reflect all agency equities, including those of the State Department, and we don't want to undermine the FBI investigation." The White House email: "We need to resolve this in a way that respects all of the relevant equities, particularly the investigation." The GOP version of Nuland's comment, according to CBS News: The penultimate point is a paragraph talking about all the previous warnings provided by the Agency (CIA) about al-Qaeda's presence and activities of al-Qaeda." The White House email: "The penultimate point could be abused by members to beat the State Department for not paying attention to Agency warnings." The news parallels a Tuesday CNN report which initially introduced the contradiction between what was revealed in a White House Benghazi email version, versus what was reported in media outlets. On Monday, Mother Jones noted that the Republicans' interim report included the correct version of the emails, signaling that more malice and less incompetence may have been at play with the alleged alterations. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/16/republicans-benghazi-emails_n_3289428.html?utm_hp_ref=politics

Maybe I'm missing the original intent but other than the typical word spinning that goes on in DC all the time, where's the damage?

I'm lost. The GOP versions seems no worse than the originals, unless I'm missing something. Why the hell would they alter messages and lose credibility, for no gain whatsoever? Is everyone hopelessly stupid in Washington?

They added the State Department so they could attack HRC and try and dirty her up before 2016. Before the election they tried to use Banghazi to derail the President's reelection but now it is all about going after Hilary. Just watch a video of the hearings then and now and count the number of times the Republican Congressmen say each name.

The originals jibe well with a group dealing with the 'fog of war' trying to meet with the demands on them. The altered versions fit the conspiracy theories that politics were the prime consideration along with covering the bureaucrats' ass. That the originals were available and 'spin' was put in quotes shows the clear understanding by those making an issue of all this that truth walks, lies fly. I talk to Faux News true believers every day, none Ever question a story they've heard and tune out any later 'clarification'. Why the Republicans still can get adults to vote for them? We'll diss the Democrats for their different faults on other threads?

We'll diss the Democrats for their different faults on other threads? I don't see what the big deal is, they both say pretty much the same thing, the "Republican versions" are just more clear because they clarify what parties are being discussed. Also did I miss where a computer tech verified which is the original versions? To believe that what the administration says are the originals, just because they say so, is foolish given how many times their stories have changed so far. And not to be confrontational but your opinion is kind of diminished by the fact that you refer to Fox News as Faux News. You don't already have a bias, do you? Personally I watch all the different news channels and read various articles on the Internet because there is bias in all of them and to get the truth you need to see things from every perspective. Finally, in regards to the post above about all this being to diminish Hillary Clinton, here name is mentioned so much because she was supposed to be in charge of that department. I understand that as large as the government is she can't be expected to know every detail, which is a problem for a different discussion, but she made herself look foolish by not gathering ever detail she could after the fact, to find out what went wrong. Blaming a video and suggesting that we can fix the problem, without knowing what caused it also did not help her cause. How many months later, in her little "what does it matter now" blow up, she still couldn't say that it was terrorism, it was because of a video or just people out for a walk. smh

From what I have read it looks like the administration is tryng to get enough traction to go after the fellow who made it.

Funny how when the republicans get caught being their usual world-class-dick selves........all of a sudden their narrative goes from Obama`s hitler/stalin to "oh, they`re there all bad".......[8\|] What a bunch of punks.....[sm=marionette.gif]

But nice spin. quote: Also did I miss where a computer tech verified which is the original versions?

If I were to sink to your level I would suggest MSNBC is the propaganda arm of the Left.

No. What is wrong is it was a soft target to begin with because of poor leadership from the top and is softer even now that we have lost face in the world by letting it happen.

But in the meantime, let me share this, from what I have read the administration cannot protect or even rescue Americans, which from what I read in the Constitution is it's primary responsibility, "to provide for the common defense" and from what I read the President is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces charged with this Constitutional responsibility and "reason for being". So, we should fire him for failing. Failure is not an option for the President and fail he did.

Do you have a large four wheel truck because I sense you are a little man with a need to build your little self up by tearing people down.

All of it.

DomKen -> RE: Republicans Altered Benghazi Emails, CBS News Report Claims (5/17/2013 10:55:34 AM)
People are actually trying to justify fake quotes of emails as being clarifications? I know some conservatives are stupid and believe any bullshit they're fed by Fox and Rush but come on what do they think quotation marks mean?

So, we should fire him for failing. Failure is not an option for the President and fail he did. Why not go ask Osama bin Laden how the current President of the United States of America '...provide for the common defense...'? While your at it, check your 'hatred of the president' at the door. Since it was not he would gave us the watered down version of The Affordable Care Act. His version was much better, kept costs down, and allowed for more freedom with medical care for the common people. You want to know who screwed that up? Go have a chat with the party you elect each year like a drone.... If the President has done so badly with "...to provide for the common defense....", does that not also mean you should blame former President George W. Bush at least a hundred times as much? So you are blaming a guy who is doing a hundred times better job than the previous sitting president, rather than encourage him to do better?
