Looks like "60 Minutes" is getting ready to walk away from at least part of Lara Logan's controversial Benghazi report.

The CBS newsmagazine featured a segment last month about the deadly attack on the U.S. mission in Libya, which happened on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The CBS newsmagazine and Logan herself had been staunchly defending the segment for days against critics who argued that a key source -- British security expert Dylan Davies, a.k.a. "Morgan Jones" -- may not have been telling the truth. But late Thursday, the network acknowledged problems with Davies' story.

"'60 Minutes' has learned of new information that undercuts the account told to us by Morgan Jones of his actions on the night of the attack on the Benghazi compound," CBS said in a statement. "We are currently looking into this serious matter to determine if he misled us, and if so, we will make a correction."

A "60 Minutes" spokesman declined to elaborate. But reports elsewhere said that Davies had told the FBI previously that he did not visit the U.S. compound on the night of the attacks.

1. Typical MSM. Shout the accusation, then whisper the apology.

2. They haven't shouted or whispered an apology yet...

they're still "investigating."
