WASHINGTON – State Department officials repeatedly objected to -- and tried to water down -- references to Islamic extremist groups and prior security warnings in the administration's initial internal story-line on the Benghazi attack, according to dozens of emails and notes released by the White House late Wednesday.

The documents also showed the White House, along with several other departments, played a role in editing the so-called "talking points," despite claims from the White House that it was barely involved. And they showed then-CIA Director David Petraeus objected to the watered-down version that would ultimately be used as the basis for U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice's flawed comments on several TV shows the Sunday after the attack.

After the emails were released, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner said they confirmed what House investigators had earlier alleged - that senior State Department officials watered down the talking points. He also said they "contradict" White House claims that it and State only changed one word.

Once again the WH caught lying.

But forget the talking points. I want to know who gave the stand down order that killed these 4 Americans.

Tom Donilon?

I don't think it was Obama. I think he did go hide in the residence, pretending to sleep. He didn't want the men rescued, but he also wanted deniability should an investigation develop.
