CNN reports that former Central Intelligence Agency director David H. Petraeus wants to tell Congress that he knew "almost immediately" that the attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi was perpetrated by terrorists.

According to the source, reports attributing the attack to protests surrounding an anti-Islam video and protests in Cairo were not disproven until after Petraeus made his initial report to Congress.

Despite that, according to CNN, Petraeus had separate talking points from Rice's and that her talking points came from somewhere else in the administration.
