Official: We Knew Benghazi Was A Terrorist Attack "From The Get-Go" -- CBS
(CBS News) "Everybody in the mission" in Benghazi, Libya, thought the attack on a U.S. consulate there last Sept. 11 was an act of terror "from the get-go," according to excerpts of an interview investigators conducted with the No. 2 official in Libya at the time, obtained by CBS News' "Face the Nation."
"I think everybody in the mission thought it was a terrorist attack from the beginning," Greg Hicks, a 22-year foreign service diplomat who was the highest-ranking U.S. official in Libya after the strike, told investigators under authority of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Hicks, the former U.S. Embassy Tripoli deputy chief of mission, was not in Benghazi at the time of the attack, which killed Chris Stevens - then the U.S. ambassador to Libya - and three other Americans.

My Comment: Here is a prediction .... by the end of the week the White House will be in crisis mode over allegations that weeks before last year's Presidential election key officials deliberately mislead and lied to the American public on what happened at Benghazi. The focus will also shift on what was the role of President Obama during this crisis .... specifically .... where was he when Benghazi was unfolding, when was he informed about the details of the attack, what information and intel was given to him, why the false narrative about a video causing a demonstration that resulted in an attack on the U.S. consulate, and what is the state of the investigation on who orchestrated and planned this attack.
Update: Former Secretary of State Clinton is also going to be put on the hot seat .... especially if this is true.
