Actually a very good hearing, I thought Senator Rogers questions were fair and to the point and Michael Morell's (former Acting Director CIA) responses were concise and detailed. This was pretty much a rehash of internal questioning that already happened months ago, now it is public.
I watched Rogers questioning on Fox and right after he was complete they cut to one of their analysts before hearing from the democratic senator.
You can judge for yourself, Morell's answers began around 27 minutes in on C-Span.
What, you mean convicted criminal Darrell Issa failed in his "investigation"? I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Well, not really. Mr. Convicted Criminal Issa has pretty much failed at every "scandal" he's tried to cook up.
Sorry, riko, but there is simply no there there.
Shouldn't you be in school? I must assume from your childish comment you are in Jr High school.
Did you learn to support communism in school? obama is a communist and you love everything he does...
Wrong. The CIA did not come to the video conclusion. The CIA was not in the media talking up the video, it was Hillary, Obama and their lackeys.
The CIA, in its first version of the talking points, linked the attack in Benghazi to events in Cairo. The attack in Cairo was linked to the video. This was reconfirmed in today's testimony. The Obama administration based their response on the CIA's assessment.
ABC: We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to — or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo. And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons, weapons that as you know in — in the wake of the revolution in Libya are — are quite common and accessible. And it then evolved from there.
CBS: But soon after that spontaneous protest began outside of our consulate in Benghazi, we believe that it looks like extremist elements, individuals, joined in that– in that effort with heavy weapons of the sort that are, unfortunately, readily now available in Libya post-revolution. And that it spun from there into something much, much more violent.
Fox: People gathered outside the embassy and then it grew very violent and those with extremist ties joined the fray and came with heavy weapons, which unfortunately are quite common in post-revolutionary Libya and that then spun out of control.
NBC: What we think then transpired in Benghazi is that opportunistic extremist elements came to the consulate as this was unfolding. They came with heavy weapons which unfortunately are readily available in post revolutionary Libya. And it escalated into a much more violent episode.
Susan Rice's comments are consistent with the CIA first draft of the talking points.

Communism? Yeah, and I'm the childish one.
Does it bother you that your champion attack dog is a convicted criminal himself?
And they told these lies standing over the bodies of dead American heroes. Some things will never be forgotten. I find that equal to Obama suggesting that troops should pay for their own medical expenses for injuries received in service to our country. Some people have no sense of shame.
Some of us will never forget and knew it from the beginning as well.
