In late October, 60 Minutes ran a report featuring the account of British security expert Dylan Davies – though he called himself Morgan Jones – who recounted in detail his actions in the early morning hours during the Benghazi attack.
It was later revealed that Davies told the FBI he did not visit the American diplomatic compound on the night of the attack and had not, as he claimed, seen the body of slain U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
I didn't quote that source in my post on that story, so I don't think that post needs to correct anything. Parts of the story that I did quote really repeat past reporting on local reactions to the attacks. His contribution seemed to be adding details to what was out there.
So the negation of that source does not erase the fact that we had two responses to the attacks. The first from the annex personnel and the second from the State Department reaction force from Tripoli.
Perhaps this explains the odd award of a Navy Cross for a Delta Force soldier that was mentioned.
I feel honor bound to report on the retraction of that source. What the Hell was he thinking, pretending to be there? What is it with people?
Have no doubt that this bad source will be used to discredit those who want to know what happened at Benghazi. CBS should have done a better job on this, over a year after the incident. It's not like they rushed to finish this before the 2012 election, after all. God they suck.
