9. This suggests rivalry between the CIA and the State Department.

Was Petraeus fully informing the State Department about what was going on in Libya?

It seemed very odd to me that our ambassador was meeting with the Turkish ambassador in the American consulate in Benghazi when both Turkey and the U.S. most likely have embassies in Tripoli.

I think that the Republicans are missing something, but I don't know what it is.

What Susan Rice was instructed to say is simply unimportant. Why should she tell the truth on TV when the situation in Benghazi had not yet been resolved. Why should she tip off Al Qaeda about the information that the CIA had on them. Republicans are foolish if they think this report is going to embarrass the State Department or the Obama administration.
