. But the report said “intelligence suggests that the attack was not a highly coordinated plot, but was opportunistic.”

It remains unclear if any group or person exercised overall command and control of the attacks or whether extremist group leaders directed their members to participate,” the report said. “Some intelligence suggests the attacks were likely put together in short order, following that day’s violent protests in Cairo against an inflammatory video

"Panetta told the Senate Armed Services Committee in February of last year that it was him who informed the president that "there was an apparent attack going on in Benghazi." "Secretary Panetta, do you believe that unequivocally at that time we knew that this was a terrorist attack?" asked Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla. "There was no question in my mind that this was a terrorist attack," Panetta replied.

Senior State Department officials who were in direct, real-time contact with the Americans under assault in Benghazi have also made clear they, too, knew immediately -- from surveillance video and eyewitness accounts -- that the incident was a terrorist attack. After providing the first substantive "tick-tock" of the events in Benghazi, during a background briefing conducted on the evening of Oct. 9, 2012, a reporter asked two top aides to then-Secretary Clinton: "What in all of these events that you've described led officials to believe for the first several days that this was prompted by protests against the video?" 

"That is a question that you would have to ask others," replied one of the senior officials. "That was not our conclusion."

The career officers and diplomats at defense and state had no illusions about Benghazi. They knew what it was from the outset and Secretary Panetta and JCS Chairman Dempsey told the president within minutes what was going on.

 

So what happened? It seems likely that the political pros in the White House took over the issue and began to massage the narrative to 1) deflect blame from the administration for inadequate security at the Benghazi mission; and 2) hide the fact that terrorism was still a threat despite the killing of bin Laden."
