I can’t imagine this will go over well with some here.
And from 60 Minutes extra:

Don’t make us watch a video, just say what it is about and explain your beef with it.
60 minutes did an investigation of Benghazi which they broadcast last night. They revealed that a) the administration lied about the cause of the attack, because they knew right away it was a planned, coordinated attack, not spontaneous, and b) that lives were saved only because heroic individuals disobeyed orders or acted without orders.
Actually, it wouldn’t be fair to call these revelations, since they have been known for over a year, but a lot of people might not have known what Benghazi was all about, since most of the reporting before 60 Minutes was about the partisan finger-pointing rather than the facts.
My guess is the OP doesn’t know what he thinks yet. At this point all he’s done is watch the show. Now he needs to have some conservative commentators “explain” what really happened.

Here is the script. I don’t see anything consistent with your assertions in the script. Can you please quote what you’re referring to?
Please quote the portions that support your assertions a) and b).
You mean the government doesn’t want information put out from anyone except for official, approved channels? They’re making it hard for leakers to leak sensitive information? Shocking! Next you’re going to tell us that sometimes politicians stretch the truth for political gain!
Just wait till he finds out that they have been spying as well! :eek:
Guess what 60 Minutes decided to do last night?
I give up. What?
Whatever it was, it took adaher an hour and a half to watch it.
Can’t believe there are still people who are criticizing Obama for not sprinting to a microphone and shouting “terrorism!” as soon as he heard about it, as if that would help and if not doing so were treasonous.
Intelligence community knows it’s a coordinated terrorist attack, and then so therefore Obama knows.
Obama publicly hedges, so that way, those in the intelligence community are slightly safer while they are inside the rat’s den.
Obama clearly being treasonous for not revealing every piece of information we knew as soon as we knew it.
Definitely worst president ever. If only he were like Bush and revealed classified pieces of intelligence that we never actually had to begin with because it was actually un-intelligence, not intelligence.
The biggest problem here is that it that this is 60 Minutes.
It may be the truth but it’s hard to tell since 60 Minutes has never let the truth stand in the way of a good story.
Is that the entire script, because it doesn’t seem complete at all?
I was going to guess digital stopwatch. I would have been wrong it seems.
It’s fairly obvious that that is not the entire script, although I’m mystified as to why they would only put up part of it without a statement that it is a partial transcript.
With that said, I too call on the OP to give us some kind of verifiable support for his claims, especially item b).
It appears that the mobile version has an incomplete script. Try going to the non-mobile version of the story. (Whether you can do this by just deleting the m. From my link I’m not sure, but a Google search will get you to the desktop version.)
ETA: Looking at the desktop full version gives a hint as to what adaher might be referring to, but also reveals significant problems with his interpretations. I’d like to make sure what he’s talking about before going further. Plus I should be working on a presentation.
Try to summon Cthulhu for an interview?
Tore off Dick Cheney’s mask on camera to show that he’s really a lizard alien?
Produced evidence that Obama isn’t really an American citizen, but is actually a lab rat driving an Obama-bot? Which would make Biden Pinky in a Biden-bot, probably…
Produced evidence that Huitzilopochtli is the One True God, and sacrificed a member of the staff on-air?
I don’t see anything in there about what the administration knew. It doesn’t even come up - the whole thing is just about how the people stationed there knew security was insufficient.
