60 Minutes expose on Benghazi — Page 2

I have a lot to say about this story but I won't touch it because that awful thing keeps commenting in this thread.

I wish it would go away so we could have decent conversations without the smelly presence of The Troll That Held BroadwayWorld Hostage.

The case of Valerie Plame being outed and the name of the lying contractor are in no way similar. You can tell that because Republicans want to punish someone in this case.

Exactly what Google tells it about the Valerie Plame affair. Just like it's plagiarized in-depth knowledge of the Kennedy assassination. Phony baloney through and through.

Really? You were 10 years old in Russia and people were telling you Valerie Plame was outed by a vindictive administration? Wow. They got that right on- did they tell you what happened to those people? What their punishment was for putting a covert agent of the CIA in harms way?

Exactly what Google tells it about the Valerie Plame affair. Just like it's plagiarized in-depth knowledge of the Kennedy assassination. Phony baloney through and through.

You want me to never see the trolling merde you post, block me and block all the other people who hate you.

Then we won't see your trolling and won't respond to it. You know how this works. It has been explained to you, but in your most annoying previous persona you also always played it obtuse. People who have you blocked are still exposed to your trolling. You will not block those of us you claim to be so aggrieved by because then you will see how truly alone and despised you are. Go ahead and do it you phony plagiarist troll.

Politco:

"Six days after coming under fire for its "60 Minutes" report on Benghazi, CBS News says it is standing by its source despite the fact that he has already admitted to lying about the events in question.

That source, a security contractor named Dylan Davies, went on "60 Minutes" under the pseudonym Morgan Jones and said he was at the diplomatic compound in Benghazi on the night of Sept. 11, 2011. But as the Washington Post revealed last week, Davies had previously submitted an incident report to his superior in which he stated he was nowhere near the attack."

Now it's me, JoeKv99:

Also, bizarrely, The"Obama administration" has been accused of "outing" Jones and a comparison drawn to the Plame affair; for those of you who were small children in Russia at the time and would have no idea what that was, here's Wikipedia to explain:

Wikipedia:

"The Plame Affair (also known as the CIA leak scandal, the CIA leak case, the CIA leak grand jury investigation, and Plamegate) involved the identification of Valerie Plame Wilson as a covert Central Intelligence Agency officer by Richard Armitage. Mrs. Wilson's relationship with the CIA was formerly classified information."

Me again!:

In THIS case a guy who worked for a security company in Benghazi wanted to write a book so he made up a SUE-donym (a Nom de Plume if you will) then went on National TV to promote his book by telling a lie about what he saw. The Washington Post called other employees of the security company (not Barack Obama) who said "oh yeah- that guy on 60 minutes- that's Dylan Davies." Davies no longer works for the company, is in no danger by the revelation and was never under cover (except to sell his book).

Hope that clears things up for you,

Richard Nixon once said "I am not a crook."

How is it that CBS neglected to mention that the book by this contractor is being published by the CBS subsidiary ? This report was nothing more than a commercial for the book.

Oh Joe does your undying love for the Establishment have no bounds? To the point of blatant lies? Did you dfend President johnson and nixon too every time?

Wow. So a respected journalist from a respected news organization has suggested that we take a closer look at the war machine. You were around when johnson was Prez. Did u criticize cronkite too?

I never thought I would ever see a journalist criticized for that on BWW. I can bet that didn't happen in B.O. (brfore obama) times

I think I just saw a pig fly. And Osama and the devil are freezing in Hell!

Yeah it's just one of a few dozen stories where you definitely see she has an axe to grind. I'd put her more in the "activist" than "Journalist" camp. And I am not saying journalists shouldn't have opinions but they need to be factored into the equation.

Sue I was only 6 years old when Cronkite did his report on Vietnam so I have no memory of the event. I probably watched Bewitched instead of the CBS Special Report. Why don't you tell me what happened? Did he make stuff up, too?

Did they have CBS in your village in Russia? How old were you when this went down in 1968?
