What particular obfuscation are you talking about this time?

The Special forces commander saying he wasn’t told to stand down?

The military leaders saying they advised against the mission?

The CIA saying that the initial talking points given to Rice included a judgement (wrongly as it turns out) that it appeared that the attack was “spontaneously inspired by protest in Cairo”?  
You are starting to remind me of the woman discussed in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=708090) who uses the fact that a medical organization advises against a certain diet as proof that such a diet is safe and effective.
