White House releases Benghazi e-mails - CNN.com
Washington (CNN) -- The White House released more than 100 pages of e-mails on Wednesday in a bid to quell critics who say President Barack Obama and his aides played politics with national security following the deadly terror attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.
The e-mails detail the complex back and forth between the CIA, State Department, and the White House in developing unclassified talking points that were used to underpin a controversial and slow-to-evolve explanation of events last September 11.

1. Did they release only he emails that support their narrative?
2. Why didnt we get this information 6 months ago when congress was asking for it?
Does it really change anything? We know that at the very least the govt got the intelligence wrong, and pushed a narrative that was wrong long after they had been told they were wrong. And that an american was thrown in jail on a parol violation of using a computer, where he still remains because of the narrative the govt was pushing. No one will be held accountable, so in a way I agree with Hillary, what difference does this make?
This is still just a sideshow to the real issue, why the govt failed to protect the consulate, and why it failed to react to the attack once it was under way.
