Susan Rice vindicated about her Benghazi comments

After their very real election losses — President, Senate seats, House seats — you'd think reality-denying Republicans (who imagined Romney would be victorious despite all the polling evidence to the contrary) would have learned that facts matter.

But, nope. They're up to their old tricks, hoping that a lie told over and over on Fox News and elsewhere somehow will transform into truth. 

The current Lie of the Moment is that U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, who is being talked about as a replacement for Secretary of State Clinton, deceived Americans when she described the Benghazi attacks soon after they happened.

It seemed obvious at the time that she was speaking from intelligence agency talking points, not making stuff up out of her own head like Republicans do. 

Indeed, now we know that is what happened. Check out the links for more detail.

Career intelligence officers gave Rice the information that she passed on, not politicians.

Ex-CIA director David Petaeus said there was no politization of the talking points prepared by intelligence agencies.

The CIA talking points Rice was using calling the Benghazi attacks "spontaneously inspired" by protests over an anti-Islam video, which is just what she said in her remarks.

Names of terrorist groups suspected of being involved in the attacks were not included in initial talking points to avoid tipping off the groups.
