CBS’ “60 Minutes” did a somewhat in-depth piece tonight about the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
@60Minutes #Benghazi so much for the theory it was caused by anti-islamic video.

“60 Minutes” published many tweets with details of the report. Much of the information is already known to those who have closely followed this story, but the report yet again confirms there were many unheeded warnings:

CBS News’ Sharyl Attkisson adds this additional warning that should have been clear to anybody who chose to pay attention:
al Qaeda promised to attack the Red Cross, the British and the Americans in Benghazi…

Prior to Sept. 11 they attacked the Red Cross…

They attacked the British…

and then they attacked the Americans. As they said they would.

Will Hillary Clinton ever be directly questioned about lying to the faces of some family members by blaming the YouTube video for the attack?
60 Minutes: WH knew attack imminent, knew well planned, blamed movie, need accountability for negligence #Benghazi #tcot #shameful

@ColorMeRed Coming to your zone soon. 60 minutes just blew Benghazi lies and coverup wide open

Our men fought off Al Qaeda terrorists for 7+ hours. Horrible. Who leaves Americans to die like this? #Benghazi

Others, though perhaps appreciating any effort to get the truth about Benghazi out to the public, wondered why the MSM has been taking so long:

#Benghazi – 60 Minutes asking questions Conservatives have been asking for over YEAR! And this Administration blames a video!

If Bush left US citizens unarmed to die in Benghazi. Would lib media propagandists @nbc @msnbc wait a f**king yr to report the truth?! #tcot

The “60 Minutes” report left too many unanswered questions on the table, and people in positions of responsibility went curiously unscrutinized:
True. Obama? Hillary? Stand-down order? Video lie? RT @Don_Rivers1 @60Minutes @CBSNews Is this part 1 of 3? Much more is needed. #Benghazi
— Monica Crowley (@MonicaCrowley) October 27, 2013
@60Minutes Your Benghazi report is indictment of our failure to act. Why no mention of the You Tube video or reaction from Hillary Clinton?

Will there be a follow up story on the subsequent lies peddled by the Obama administration? We’ll see, but we’re not holding our breath.
