| WASHINGTON — A congressional aide says the White House has agreed to give the Senate Intelligence Committee documents related to the attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya. Republicans had demanded the documents as a condition of voting on the nomination of John Brennan to be CIA director. The congressional aide says the documents include emails between top national security officials showing the debate within the administration over how to describe the attack and other documents the committee had been asking for. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity

Do those documents include transcription and/are videos of statements and interviews of the US personelle who were actually there and have been secreted since?

Anyone who thinks the documents supplied will be full, complete, unedited and/or unaltered was born yesterday.
This is just a tool to allow the Republicans to back off while "saving face". And under Boehner, they probably will.

Mm hmm. Obama was getting away with providing nothing. So, no pressure.
Agree with all above. These are cover for the media to say "see, nothing at all".

They will provide a ton of meaningless irrelevant material, then when the committee demands the real, relevant documents, the WH will scream, "We´ve given you 10,000 pages of material. Stop harassing us!" They have done exactly this maneuver before.

Feinstein´s reaction will be if they had a gun ban in Benghazi,this would never have happened.It was those evil long clips that empowered these monsters to attack the consulate.
How many more people have to die before we wake up and smell the gunpowder.?

Months and months have passed since that Benghazi ´bump in the road´. The WH has had plenty of time to hire forgers for any Benghazi documents.

Their PhotoShop program must be worn out by now. You can be certain that any documents handed over by the WH will be either heavily redacted, forged, altered or created from whole cloth, but none will be authentic and none will cast any negative light on this POTUS, his Admninistration or Hillary.
As usual, somebody else will take the fall for POTUS´ utter anti-American ideology and practices.

Operation Scrub complete.
In my imaginary world, the Republicans get the documents, complete and unaltered, upon their threat to delay Brennan confirmation.
And then - here´s the perfect part - they reject him anyway.
Incidentally, for those of you who care, today, Feb. 23rd, is national Day of Resistance. Support your Second Amendment - it´s what keeps all the others secure and in place.

If there are any "real" documents left to "find", they will be a carbon copy of Obama´s "real" birth certificate. Didn´t a bunch of documents disappear from the White House never to be found when Hillary was just Bill´s jilted wife?

When you have no honor, and Obama and his motley crew have none, anything they do to advance their agenda is justified. The danger to the country comes when the media supports their agenda and will do anything to protect whatever they do. The media has no curiosity about the deaths of these four Americans. However, we all know they would be crucifying a Republican administration that withheld one document in their quest for truth and accountability. Whatever this administration provides it will not be detrimental to Obama and the media will not pressure them to provide anything further. As we have been told by Mrs. Clinton, after all, at this point, what difference does it make!

It´s all a show for the DC politicians.....
There´s nothing of "truth" in these documents and nothing is gained....
WE the people already know what happened thanks to Fox News. Four wonderfully brave Americans died because the DC bunch didn´t want to "LEAD"......i.e. do their job. Instead -- they simply went to bed and let the four Americans die....

I have to agree with everyone. Obama is the perfect community organizer (agitator). Divide and conquer. Talk to anyone who had to escape from Cuba. They are seeing a pattern. Anything shown this late in the game has been altered.

I don´t know, I think this may be something. The track record would argue otherwise, I agree, but Obama *was* getting away with stonewalling, and slowly, somehow, he isn´t anymore.
Playing tricks with the documents is risky because it appears the Republicans do in fact have other sources for many of them, so they would know if one was actually altered. Faking documents would come out, and eventually be reported even by the kneepad MSM. Redaction is more likely. Also, slowly but surely the different testimonies have boxed in their maneuvering room to lie. Again, not that the public is paying much attenion, but a fair number of Senators seem pretty determined to stay at this -- perhaps on the quaint notion that the United States ought to defend its people, not literally sacrifice them to politics.
Also, again slowly but surely, the MSM is starting to turn on Obama -- not all at once, not everyone, but important people, and unmistakably. [Woodward calling out Obama and Lew as liars is huge. He could have kept his mouth shut, or could have covered for them. He did neither.] We easily forget that Watergate didn´t break overnight, and for quite a while it was considered a nothingburger by the MSM.
So it may yet amount to something. Obama would not agree to turn over anything unless he had to, and since he was winning the stonewall/battle against Republican obstructionism, one could surmise the Republicans have finally wounded him enough that he has to throw some more people under the bus. The new document dump may do it.

It´d be great if Obama threw Hillary under the bus here. Once Obama speaks the MSM will follow his talking points to the letter. Hillary´s response wouldn´t amount to a hill of beans, so to speak, then.

I´d love to agree with #26, but the supposition is that the Republicans would use other-sourced documents to expose the lies. I seriously doubt they will.
They´ll make some noise to give the GOPer apologists a reason to cheer, "The Republicans are conservative enough," but will eventually allow a confirmation vote on Brennan. It will be a replay of McCain on Hagel, "He´s not qualified but I´ll vote to confirm anyway."
I sure wish the Republicans were an opposition party that upheld the values they claim to represent (limited government, fiscal responsibility, and free markets), however it becomes clearer every day that the GOP is only the “right wing” of the Progressive Party. Otherwise they would keep asking the important question, “Who gave the order to stand down?”

Hillary isn´t the only one running for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. So is Joe Biden, and, would anyone be surprised if he encouraged the White House to make as many Benghazi documents available as possible, particularly the ones that put Hillary in a bad light?
It must be frustrating for Joe to realize that Hillary will soon be going on a four-year $200,000-a-speech tour, which will in effect be a fund-raising tour for her 2016 presidential campaign -- while he himself will be bogged down in Washington.
Does anyone think Joe will be above doing a little anti-Hillary mischief from the White House as the 2016 presidential sweepstakes unfolds, which the current White House Benghazi document dump may be a particularly interesting precursor of?

Who do you imagine knows the most about Benghazi? How many know the inside openly traitorous, death scandal of recent times? Hillary, Joe, Obie, Mooch, Valerie, their many commie comrades, Congress and their monster staffs, the mafia media starting with Diane Sawyer, George whatzisname, Brian Williams, Pelley, Rove, Geraldo, endless faceless CIA, 800,000 Pentagon invisibles? Maybe even Joe´s Jesuit world intelligence network? And the massive cover-up seems to be slowly uncovering. Finally a death, four deaths, that may not be covered up. Time for one or more of those above to blow the whistle, tell the truth, risk their life. So much State driven brutality. They all are the worst they have ever been in our history, all of them, the best, keeping their mouths shut in fear.

News reports from the final debate between Democrat Ed Markey and Republican Gabriel Gomez conclude that Gomez, a first-time candidate and self-styled "new kind of Republican," delivered a strong performance. With just days left in the campaign before the June 25 special election for Senate, Gomez has trailed Markey, a 37-year veteran of the House, in every single poll. Markey currently leads by average of more than 9 points. But in the debate Tuesday night, Gomez hit Markey hard on the Democrat´s long Washington tenure, a running theme in the Republican´s campaign.

The Obama administration has reportedly tried to enlist the NBA in helping it sell Obamacare to the American people. It’s unclear whether a potential marketing partnership would put big-name players at the center of ad campaigns or if it would be as simple as putting the NBA trademark on marketing materials, Politico first reported today. People can begin signing up for Obamacare in October, with the new insurance coverage kicking in next year. Many have speculated that the enrollment campaigns would benefit from a celebrity endorsement or partnership with a major sports league.

Guides have dropped "God" from their Girl Guides´ Promise. In a multicultural and individualist age, the thinking goes, the movement should pledge "to be true to myself and develop my beliefs". None of that guff about God and country. It´s now all about "Me" and the anything goes spirituality. Hindu, Druid, New Ager, Muslim, Christian: everything´s the same these days. We´ve seen it elsewhere. Druids and Christians are accorded equal rights in the workplace: when a Druid employee, say, wants time off to go to Stonehenge for the Solstice, the boss must treat her the same

President Barack Obama followed in the footsteps of past U.S. leaders with a speech Wednesday at Berlin´s iconic Brandenburg Gate, where he said he would ask Russia to join the United States in slashing its supply of strategic nuclear warheads. "I intend to seek negotiated cuts with Russia to move beyond Cold War nuclear postures," Obama said in the city that symbolized the East-West divide in the decades after World War II. Repeating his campaign themes of equal opportunity and freedom for all, Obama said such ideals can provide the prosperity sought by all nations -- especially longtime allies

SANFORD, Fla.--The family of slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin has "every confidence" that a jury will convict George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch captain accused in his shooting death, a family attorney said. Martin´s family, including his mother Sybrina Fulton and father Tracy Martin, have attended jury selection proceedings in the Seminole County criminal courthouse since they launched more than a week ago. Attorneys in the case have been whittling down a pool of potential jurors, questioning them on their exposure to news reports in the high-profile case.

The Airbus next-generation A350 plane took off commercially at the Paris Air Show on Wednesday, winning multi-billion-dollar deals and the European manufacturer said that more deals were in the air. The news comes just days after the new plane took to the skies in its first ever test flight on Friday, stealing the limelight before the start of the air show -- a key event where Airbus and Boeing compete fiercely for plane orders. The two rivals are currently head-to-head -- $44.6 billion in new plane orders or agreements for Airbus versus $44.8 billion for Boeing -- after Ryanair

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
