SHERYL ATTKISSON SHADES THE TRUTH

In her article about the GOP wanting to talk to Col. George Bristol about Benghazi, she wrote:
Another officer in the chain of command who was interviewed by the House Armed Services Committee in last month's closed session was Lt. Col. Michael Gibson.
Gibson led a team that was on the ground in Tripoli during the attacks. A U.S. diplomat testified the team was stopped from flying to Benghazi to help the Americans who were under attack. That account differed from the Obama administration's original version of events.
Administration officials contend that Gibson's team was stopped from going to Benghazi simply because it was needed more in Tripoli, and that even if it had flown to Benghazi, it wouldn't have made any difference.
Attkisson should have mentioned that the Col Gibson himself testified that he was NOT ordered to stand down.  This wouldn't mean very much except for the fact that the Baggers have touted this as more evidence for a coverup.
