Another document that Michael Morell reviewed before he overhauled the #Benghazi# talking points was an email from the CIA Tripoli Chief of Station stating his assessment "that the attacks were not/not spontaneous and not/not an escalation of protests." The email referred to the press reports quoting the State Dept. #Benghazi# compound guards who witnessed that the attack began without warning and in the absence of any protests outside the compound beforehand. The email also cited a CIA officer on the scene who noted that there was no sign of a protest at the compound, and Libyan President Magaryaf who stated "the attacks were planned in advance by experienced individuals, most likely al-Qa'ida and not former regime elements."
