Petraeus


Ex-CIA Director David Petraeus testified to Congress behind closed doors.

But of course, nothing he says is confidential anymore. Petraeus’ testimony has already hit the media, and it raises as many questions as it answered.

He confirmed that he knew almost immediately that the deadly raid on our consulate in Libya was a terrorist attack.

He even drafted talking points on it for the White House. 

He was surprised when UN Ambassador Susan Rice was sent out to call it a spontaneous mob uprising, and he said he doesn't know which federal agency deleted the terrorist references from his notes.

But he’s certain it was done to avoid tipping off the terrorists and there was no political reason behind it.

One question that immediately comes to mind: if he doesn't even know who edited his notes, how does he know why they did it?
