(68,457 posts)It seems that she just misunderstood a story by FOX News reporter Jennifer Griffin, and then spouted off about it, puffing it up a bit by name-dropping her honey's name to make herself seem more important. Then Griffin used Broadwell's remarks as "evidence" to bolster her own story, wich was apparently the original source for Broadwell's remarks.
Same thing happened with Dick Cheney and Judith Miller--though on purpose then. He fed her false info, she wrote a NYT story abut it, then he cited the NYT story as evidence to bolster his claims abotu WMDs in Iraq, not mentioning that he was the original source for the NYT story. In tha case, of coruse, they were doing it on purpsoe.. In this case, it just seems Broadwell spouted off abotu info she just misunderstood.
The original story was apparently about militants who had been captured and detained during the atatck, not militants that were being detained there before the attack.
