Susan Rice defends Benghazi comments

National Security Adviser Susan Rice said she has no regrets about her actions following the attack on the United States consulate in Benghazi, as she defended her initial response to the incident as having worked with the best information available at the time.

Rice, appearing Sunday on NBC‘s “Meet The Press,” was referring to comments she made on that same program in September 2012, in which she said the attack that killed ambassador Christopher Stevens and three others was “spontaneous.” That, however, turned out to be false, as federal and Congressional investigations later determined it was the result of a planned terrorist attack.
