Why would the CIA have their analysts put forward a (false) reason for the attack in Benghazi without actually talking to those present in Libya and Benghazi?  I think we know why the CIA doesn’t seem to catch much out there in the world these days. It is all analysts and not much from the field. Field work would seem to be essential in figuring out the situation. Former Deputy Sec. Morell seemed to act as the brick wall between human intelligence and the analysts in the sub basement at Langley.  This still doesn’t explain Obama continuing the falsity up to two weeks later. That is on Obama. The lie served the campaign.
