A Question for the President

Dear Mr. President:

Thank you for taking time to share with us, more than once now, your reflections on the Zimmerman case, just as you took time to share your thoughts on the case involving Professor Gates of Harvard. But Mr. President, if you could spare just another moment, I respectfully request that you tell us, the American people, when you learned that the murders of our ambassador and three other of our fellow citizens in Benghazi, Libya was  not   the work of a spontaneously formed mob enflamed by a movie, but was rather the work of a terrorist organization that executed a planned attack on the anniversary of 9/11/2001?

Mr. President, when you were suggesting and Secretary of State Clinton and Ambassador Susan Rice were actively leading Americans to believe that the murders were the work of a mob enflamed by a movie, how could you have not known that that story was false? US intelligence authorities and State Department officials knew that the murders were the work of organized terrorists (and not a mob enflamed by a movie) the day after the attack. Yet administration spokesmen kept telling the “mob enflamed by a movie” story for weeks.

Mr. President, really, it would only take a moment of your time to tell us: When did you know?
