Susan Rice: Notion She 'Misled the American People' on Benghazi Is 'Patently False'

In an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” National Security Adviser Susan Rice was asked if she had any regrets by show moderator David Gregory about her Sunday TV interviews in 2012 calling  the Benghazi attacks.“a spontaneous reaction” to an offensive video:

“No, because what I said to you that morning, and what I did every day since, was to share the best information that we had at the time, The information I provided, which I explained to you, was what we had at the moment,” Rice said. “It could change.  I commented that this was based on what we knew on that morning, was provided to me and my colleagues, and indeed, to Congress, by the intelligence community.  And that’s been well validated in many different ways since.”

“And that information turned out, in some respects, not to be 100 percent correct.  But the notion that somehow I or anybody else in the administration misled the American people is patently false.  And I think that that’s been amply demonstrated,”
