Petraeus Testimony

This is the first bit of news I have seen this morning on the Petraeus testimony today on Capitol Hill (Nothing on NBC). Reportedly, Petraeus has told law-makers that it was his belief from the start that the attack in Benghazi was by terrorists. "Somebody" removed any reference to terrorists from the talking points, according to Petraeus.

CNN is reporting that Petraeus was not under oath.

Here is CBS' report, which gives additional detail about the talking points trail.

"However, King added, Petraeus said that after the CIA prepared its talking points, they were vetted by agencies including the Justice Department and the State Department, but "no one knows yet exactly who came up with the final talking points."

Initial reaction: If it wasn't Petraeus, who was it? Surely nobody beneath him. Who was above him? Still in question is his testimony of September 14, when he seemed wedded to the video protest theory.

If CNN is correct, I think at this point it is a mistake to allow anyone to give testimony without being under oath.
