Panetta: I Knew Right Away Benghazi Was a ‘Terrorist Attack’

President Obama’s former defense secretary and CIA chief, Leon Panetta, told MSNBC today that he knew the Benghazi attack was a “terrorist attack” right away:

“I didn’t have any specific information, but the fact was: when you bring grenade launchers to a demonstration, there’s something else going on,” said Panetta. “And I just, from the very beginning, sensed that this was an attack — this was a terrorist attack on our compound.”
