Getting What They Wished?

Hey, remember how our intelligence community leadership seemed to leak information to damage the Bush administration?

I wonder if this is how the intelligence community leaders expected to be repaid by the anti-Bush?

Biden blamed the intelligence community for the administration’s confusing public explanations of the 9/11 anniversary attack in Benghazi, Libya. Moderator Martha Raddatz asked Biden directly why administration spokesman “were talking about protests” in Benghazi. “When people in the consulate first saw armed men attacking with guns, there were no protesters. Why did that go on?”

“Because that was exactly what we were told by the intelligence community,” Biden said. “The intelligence community told us that. As they learned more facts about exactly what happened, they changed their assessment.”

One of the most sophisticated consumers of intelligence couldn't see past that, I guess.
