Sen. Dianne Feinstein suggested Wednesday that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper is the source of the White House's mixed messaging on the Benghazi attack, calling it "possibly a mistake" to release speaking points on the initial intelligence assessment.
In the interview with CBS San Francisco, Feinstein says the security in Benghazi was inadequate:
DIANNE FEINSTEIN: I can tell you this, I think we do know what happened now. There's no question, but that it was a terrorist attack. There's no question that the security was inadequate, and I think there's no question that we need to work on our intelligence [...] My understanding is, and this, I think, was verified in the debate from what I heard, that the day after the president went to the Rose Garden and said this was a terrorist attack, I think what happened was the Director of National Intelligence -- which we call the DNI, who is a very good individual -- the former head of the Defense intelligence agency general Jim Clapper, put out some speaking points on the initial intelligence assessment. I think that was possibly a mistake.
