Update: Admiral admits Special Ops ordered to ‘hold in place’ during Benghazi attack -- BizPac

My Comment: So it was "hold in place" order .... not a "stand down" order that went out to US military forces in Benghazi. In my world there is no difference between the two definitions .... but this is the defense that the administration is now parsing out on what had happened in Benghazi last year when they say that no "stand down" orders were issued .... but a "hold in place" order was. It's enough to make you nuts. Not surprisingly .... no one in the main stream media is covering this story.
