Stephen Preston CIA
4:20 p.m.: Stephen Preston, the CIA’s general counsel, responds that U.S. officials should avoid making any statements that suggested specific groups were responsible for the attack: “In light of the criminal investigation, we are not to generate statements with assessments as to who did this, etc. — even internally, not to mention for public release.”
4:42 p.m.: In email traffic within the CIA, Morell scrubbed the talking points of the Al Qaeda reference, changing the language to read that the “crowd almost certainly was a mix of individuals from across many sectors of Libyan society. The investigation is on-going as to who is responsible. That being said, we do know that Islamic extremists participated in the violent demonstrations.”
