Cooper: 'Acts of Terror' Isn't a Clear Slamdunk for Obama

'I do think it's open for debate'

CNN host Anderson Cooper said Tuesday night after the debate that, contrary to his claim during the debate, President Obama "wasn't saying this was an act of terror."

ANDERSON COOPER: Wolf, this whole the whole acts of terrorism thing, I don't think it's as clear a slam dunk as the Obama campaign would like it to be. In his speech, he wasn't saying this was an act of terror. Previous to the paragraph where he said acts of terror, he'd been talking about 9/11 and obviously the killing of four Americans, he didn't reference that video in particular, but I do think it's open to debate. I can see why the Romney campaign is critical.

Cooper's colleague and the debate moderator Candy Crowley said post-debate that Republican nominee Mitt Romney was "right in the main" on the Libya issue, but chose the wrong word.
