CBS 60 Minutes To Apologize For It's Report On The Benghazi Attack

CBS Correspondent Apologizes for Report on Benghazi Attack -- New York Times

The correspondent for the disputed “60 Minutes'’ segment about the attack on the United States Special Mission in Benghazi, Libya, last year apologized on the air Friday morning, saying it was a “mistake'’ to put on a security officer whose credibility has since been undermined by his diverging accounts of his actions that night.

The reporter, Lara Logan, said on “CBS This Morning'’ that the news division was misled by the officer, adding, “We will apologize to our viewers, and we will correct the record on our broadcast on Sunday night.”

The apology followed disclosure by The New York Times on Thursday evening that the security contractor, Dylan Davies, had provided the F.B.I. an account that contradicted a version of events he provided in a recently published book and in the interview with “60 Minutes,” which was broadcast on Oct. 27.

Mr. Davies told the F.B.I. that he was not on the scene until the morning after the attack.

My Comment: The person profiled in the 60 Minutes report has denied that he provided the incident report that has put his testimony in question. So who is right? .... the FBI or a security contractor from England. For 60 Minutes .... it appears that they have taken the position that the security officer that they used in their report was not telling the truth. As for the White House .... they are probably relieved that 60 Minutes is now discrediting a timeline that would have embarrassed the President.
