It is what said on "The Daily Show":
During the interview, Stewart presented his own summary of the timeline,
bringing up former CIA Director David Petraeus, Acting CIA Director
Michael J. Morell, former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, and Sens. John
McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
“There is an undercurrent in the Republican opposition that suggests a
malevolence to this. But here is just what from my perspective does
strike me as odd,” Stewart said. “So, you get talking points. On Nov.
16, Petraeus told Congress the CIA didn’t change the talking points.
White House and State said they didn’t do it. CIA told CBS News changes
were made at senior level and interagency process because they didn’t
want al Qaeda being tipped off. Then the director of the Office of
National Intelligence told CBS they made the changes, the al Qaeda links
were too tenuous. Then the CIA director told McCain and Graham the FBI
did it. Then Morell said, ‘Did I say FBI? I didn’t mean FBI, I meant
CIA.’ Then Panetta said he believed at the time that it was a
pre-planned terrorist attack.”
Stewart asked, “So, you can see for people, it does look like there is a
great deal of confusion there. Yes?”
Rice responded by calling the focus on talking points tragic.
“There’s always confusion when you have a tragedy of that sort and
Americans are killed,” Rice said. “The bigger tragedy, Jon, is we've
spent all of these months trying to figure out the origin of some
talking points which were cleared at the highest levels of the
intelligence community and, in my opinion, not enough time doing the
service that we owe to our fallen colleagues.”
