Misty: I'll have to do a little more research into that one.I've been Googling my *** off, and have only been able to find anything about this so-called stand down order on right wing websites.Do you have a more mainstream source teacher?Hmmmmm...I just found this. It seems this 'stand down order' story originated at FOX News.But it seems like they mangled some important facts in the story.Fox News mangled huge Benghazi story.If Fox News cannot nail the proper location for a key player in the conflict, then how can we possibly trust it to nail particulars like stand down orders and the like?Found this:The CIA is refuting a report by Fox News that said the CIA officers at the annex were told to stand down with a new timeline.And this:Intelligence officials have disclosed a new detailed timeline of the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, acknowledging the CIA played a greater role in responding to the attack than has previously been disclosed. A senior U.S. intelligence official also insisted that the CIA security team that initially responded to the attack was not given orders to stand down in providing support, as had been suggested in media reports.[...]There were no orders to anybody to stand down in providing support, said the official. The officials comments appeared to be a direct rebuttal of a Fox News report that CIA teams on the ground had been told by superior officers to stand down from providing security support to the consulate.http://abcnews.go.co...quick-response/
