Patraeus: Resigned to Testify so he could "clear up some misconceptions" over what he originally told them! This could get Interesting...

Snip....

"Retired Army Gen. David Petraeus is scheduled to testify Friday before the House Intelligence Committee, and a Senate aide confirmed that he also will testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee that day.

Petraeus is testifying, days after resigning as CIA chief, in part to clear up "a lot of misrepresentations of what he told Congress initially," a source who has spoken to him said.

The then-CIA director knew "almost immediately" after the Benghazi attack that members of Ansar al-Sharia, a loosely connected radical Islamist group, were responsible, said the source, who is directly familiar with Petraeus' analysis of the situation."


If this is true, and I hope it is, he may be spilling the full beans, and given that McCain and other GOP folks sit on the House Intelligence committee - there's no way the Dems will be able to continue covering it up.

Let's hope this evolves to its rightful conclusion.
