I don't think so. It was the CIA that feed Susan Rice the faulty
information, if it was in fact faulty. I'm not sure who arranged to have
her appear on Meet the Press shortly thereafter. The investigation of the
Benghazi attack continues,

Anyway, It also seems to me that David Petraeus was setup by the
intelligence community. After the FBI found evidence of an extra Martial
affair, and confirmed it by confronting both CIA Director David Petraeus
and Paula Broadwell ,

No, no a thousand times no. Absolutely every citizen of the United States
needs to demand truth from its leaders. I don't care if it's a local County
official, the head of the FBI, a popular Republican Senator, or the
President. Every single governmental official is living off the blood and
sweat of others. They should have no rights above ours, and in fact should
be held to a much higher standard of conduct. The mistakes they make can
have far-reaching impacts to the whole nation.
So, no, politicians, political appointees, judges, all of them need to be
held to the highest standards. We've stopped doing that and we're in a
decline because of it.
Petraeus may have done a lot of good things but his resignation is
appropriate. And the revealing of it by the Intelligence Community is
absolutely right and just. Let's hope that the thousands of other
politicians take note and try to clean up their act. At least while they're
in office. And let's hope the Intelligence Community continues to monitor
all officials' correspondence and brings the truth to light.
But Leland's thoughts reflect the general sentiment of the country. Since
Clinton got away with lying about his affair the nation has dropped it's
expectations of elected officials dramatically (no it wasn't "all"
Clinton's fault, we have been declining for probably 40 years - but the
Clinton debacle was a leap downwards). People in the US need to wake up.
But I'm sure they won't. We've been dumbed down to blindly accept what the
boob-tube spouts out in 15-second sound-bites. We don't want to "question"
and "think" - we want to be entertained. We want promises that we'll get
something for nothing. We certainly don't want to hear about working hard
and moral issues. And for some reason we believe the wealthy has cheated
the rest of us and that they should be forced to give up their
money/property to be fair. Adversaries of the US and democracy in general
can rejoice. The Great Experiment is winding down, proving out once again
that man's greed and jealousy outweigh his intelligence.
