Exclusive: America 'was warned of embassy attack but did nothing'

FROM THE LINK:.."According to senior diplomatic sources, the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted, but no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and "lockdown", under which movement is severely restricted."..

.."Shawn Turner, spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, emailed: “This is absolutely wrong. We are not aware of any actionable intelligence indicating that an attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi was planned or imminent.”"..

I love that very carefully worded non-denial. As Powerline put it,

The Obama administration is denying the Independent’s report that it had warnings of possible attacks on diplomatic installations in the Middle East, but failed to act. Steve and I both wrote about the Independent story. Now Politico reports that the Obama administration indignantly denies the Independent report.

Only, if you look more closely, it isn’t much of a denial. Here is what the administration says about the claim that it had warnings of possible attacks:

Shawn Turner, spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, emailed: “This is absolutely wrong. We are not aware of any actionable intelligence indicating that an attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi was planned or imminent.”

Of course, the Independent story didn’t say that the Obama administration had “actionable intelligence indicating that an attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi was planned or imminent.” It said that “the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted,” but did nothing to step up security. The administration’s denial does not contradict the Independent’s statement, and the fact that the denial is phrased so narrowly suggests that the Independent’s report is, in fact, accurate.

So it wasn't just a bunch of crazy kids who embarked upon this adventure on the spur of the moment?
That is a very big surprise. The whole thing will simmer down. I hope you guys won't be too dissapointed when the whole thing just loses energy and the world doesn't end.
Because there isn't any end to this nightmare. I almost wish there was.

Is it strange that a two mobs of religious fanatics in different locations(consulate and safe house) pissed off about a movie would think to look for and take sensitive documents, or that oil contracts would be sensitive documents?

[Sensitive documents have gone missing from the consulate in Benghazi and the supposedly secret location of the "safe house"...
Some of the missing papers from the consulate are said to list names of Libyans who are working with Americans, putting them potentially at risk from extremist groups, while some of the other documents are said to relate to oil contracts.]

You could have nocked me over with a feather. Carry me to the fainting couch and break out the smelling salts.

How long before this is twisted and turned around into blaming Iran and used as an excuse for another war ? It's coming.
