So it looks like the release of the report was buried due to it happening on a Friday afternoon, but the key details are:
  • Intelligence agencies were "warned about an increased threat environment, but did not have specific tactical warning of an attack before it happened."
  • "A mixed group of individuals including those associated with Al-Qaeda, Qadafi loyalists and other Libyan militias participated in the attack"
  • "There was no “stand down order” given to American personnel attempting to offer assistance that evening, and no American was left behind."
  • "The [administration's] process used to develop the talking points was flawed, but that the talking points reflected the conflicting intelligence assessments in the days immediately following the crisis."
So...no scandal. Maybe people can finally let this one rest...I doubt it.

When's the last time you've seen Republicans let something as incidental as 'facts' get in their way?
