Oct 2012

The right wing is drudging up a story about the WH receiving an email from a terrorist group claiming responsiblity for the embassy attack AFTER the attack happened. Somehow this is supposed to prove that the WH knew it was terrorism and planned. Terrorist groups are always claiming responsibility for attacks even ones that they did not actually do. And there are still mixed signals as to whether it was truly planned or spontaneous or a mix of both. The nuance is lost on conservatives. This may play for the rest of the week but I don't see it having a big effect on the election.
