The Seattle Times on the administration’s initial response to embassy attacks in Libya:

Extremists from groups linked to al-Qaida struck the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in a “deliberate and organized terrorist attack,” the top U.S. intelligence agency said Friday, as it took responsibility for the Obama administration’s initial claims the assault grew from a spontaneous protest against an anti-Muslim video.

The statement from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) appeared to have two goals: updating the public on the latest findings of the investigation into the assault, and shielding the Obama administration from a political backlash over its original accounts.

Uhh . . . no shit. Of course blaming the embassy attacks and the death of 4 Americans on a fucking YouTube video was nothing but political cover to get Obama through the initial few days, which is, coincidentally, just enough time for the story to blow over and move the national discussion to limiting our first amendment rights.
