As expected 60 Minutes doubled downed and did not air a retraction on their flawed Benghazi story.
Three letters from nutbags supporting CBS was aired instead.
"Why didn't we send help to Benghazi? Who is responsible for this decision?" Al Phaneuf, Orlando, Fl
"It's about time! Your network has been a bit tepid in your reporting of the Libya terror attacks...but tonight's report was amazing." Carolyn Stephens, Winter Haven, FL
"Wy no comments from former Secretary of State Clinton... Sounds lik you have more work to do to get to the truth." Al DiNardo Saugus, MA

60 Minutes did a new, in-depth report on the attack at the American consulate in Benghazi last year, and it helped to revitalize the national debate over the attack. CBSs report featured an exclusive with a man who recounted what he witnessed, but Media Matters founder David Brock is calling on 60 Minutes to retract the report for a big error.
The key criticism here surrounds the man identified in the report as Morgan Jones (though his real name was confirmed as Dylan Davies afterwards). He told 60 Minutes he was witness to the attack, and described what he saw around him, but a Washington Post report on Thursday says that does not match his earlier testimony on the matter, just three days after the attack on the compound.
In Daviess 21 / 2-page incident report to Blue Mountain, the Britain-based contractor hired by the State Department to handle perimeter security at the compound, he wrote that he spent most of that night at his Benghazi beach-side villa. Although he attempted to get to the compound, he wrote in the report, we could not get anywhere near .?.?. as roadblocks had been set up.
He learned of Stevenss death, Davies wrote, when a Libyan colleague who had been at the hospital came to the villa to show him a cellphone picture of the ambassadors blackened corpse. Davies wrote that he visited the still-smoking compound the next day to view and photograph the destruction.
