Now—five days after General David Petraeus’ testimony where he said, as head of the CIA, he always thought the 9/11 Benghazi attack was terrorism and the CIA talking points the House Intelligence Committee requested initially reflected this fact, but were changed afterwards, but he does not know who changed them—National Intelligence Director John Clapper has suddenly stepped forward to say, it’s me.

I did it. I changed the talking points.

That’s not what he told Congress under oath last Friday.

I smell a cover-up.  

The ghosts of Watergate hover all over Washington this Thanksgiving eve.
