You think they didn't vet and pick what they released ?

Looks like Morrell did the heavy editing and the State Dept is the one that worried the most about looking bad.

In the end it was all about how they looked when the public was presented with this info.
It was "softened" up so no one looked like they screwed up.

And I also got the sense that people outside of those email addresses looked and gave input so we'll never really know all the players in those edits.

Nuland said her building leadership wasn't happy which means they saw the emails but didn't directly send/receive any themselves.

Guilty ? Yes of caring about maintaining their perception to the American public and avoid any and all criticism.
Many pages are just duplicate emails from FWD:FWD:RE:FWD:RE:RE:RE TALKING POINTS REVIEW

They released these, because they are already old news, since the press already released them. Now I'm wondering if the White House was not the source that released the email revisions to the press last Friday.

They cut references to Al Qa'ida and the attack became a violent demonstration. Where's the video in all of this? Or was that what the demonstration was in Cairo?
