We all saw the video in which Dylan Davies told CBS reporter Lara Logan about his daring-do at the consulate in Benghazi on September 11th, 2012. Well, it turns out that he told the FBI that he didn’t get to the consulate until the following morning according to the New York Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The reporter, Lara Logan, said on \u201cCBS This Morning’\u2019 that the news division was misled by the officer, adding, \u201cWe will apologize to our viewers, and we will correct the record on our broadcast on Sunday night.\u201d<\/p>\n

The apology followed disclosure by The New York Times on Thursday evening that the security contractor, Dylan Davies, had provided the F.B.I. an account that contradicted a version of events he provided in a recently published book and in the interview with \u201c60 Minutes,\u201d which was broadcast on Oct. 27.<\/p>\n

Mr. Davies told the F.B.I. that he was not on the scene until the morning after the attack.<\/p>\n

The information he provided in an F.B.I. interview was described on Thursday by two senior government officials as consistent with an incident report by the Blue Mountain security business, which had been hired to protect United States interests in Benghazi. The officials who spoke said they had been briefed on the government investigation. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, Logan and CBS have been trying to get a hold of Davies since they’ve seen the FBI report, and Davies ain’t answering his phone. Typical. Even more typical, he told The Daily Beast<\/a> that he denied the FBI’s report and his interview with them. of course, it’s legal to lie to the media, but it’s not legal to lie to the FBI. <\/p>\n

\u201cI am just a little man against some big people here,\u201d Davies said. \u201cThey can do things, make up things, anything they want, I wouldn\u2019t stand a chance.\u201d Davies said he did not know who leaked the report to the Post but said he suspected it was the State Department, an allegation that could not be independently corroborated. \u201cIt would not be difficult to do,\u201d Davies said. \u201cI knew I was going to come in for a lot of flack and you know mud slinging, so yeah I\u2019d say it was them, but I can\u2019t be sure.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s as if they have a book with a checklist and a script. Thanks to the dozens of you who sent the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
