Wasserman Schultz insisted that the Obama administration was not lying to the American public about the 9/11/12 terrorist attack on the U.S. in Benghazi.
Her reasoning: Putting out the wrong information doesn't mean it was false.
To quote Morgan, "WHAT???"

PIERS MORGAN: The really important horse that should be flogged is the behavior and the statements of those who were in positions of responsibility and, we would assume, knowledge. And it's pretty un-American, pretty un-American to be putting out completely false statements before you know the facts. Isn't it?What a crock!
DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: Piers, it is not, it is not OK for you to be saying that the administration was putting out completely false statements. They put out information that they had at the time based on the intelligence they were given and then as the days wore on and more...
MORGAN: That turned out to be completely wrong.
WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: Well, that doesn't mean it was false.
MORGAN: What???
WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: It means... That doesn't mean that it was deliberate. It means, what it means...
MORGAN: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. If you put out a false statement, then it's false. It's wrong.
WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: Piers- Piers- But you're suggesting that there was... Piers, what you're suggesting is that it was somehow deliberate. It was not deliberate. What they did was it was important to get information out that they had at the time. And they did that, and then as they learned more information they... they corrected the, the original information that they put out. But there was no, there's nothing sinister here. This was simply the president of the United States and the administration making sure that we did a careful investigation, gave the American people the information that they needed at the time, that we had based on our best intelligence. And then as more intelligence was gathered, we gave the updated information. There's nothing sinister about that.
What's terribly unfortunate though is that you do, there's no way around these investigations that, that Republicans in Congress and Mitt Romney have leapt to go after the administration questioning whether or not there was any kind of deliberate attempt to mislead.
[Crosstalk]
MORGAN: Well, the answer to that, the answer to that, Debbie, that answer to that is to make sure the original statements that are made are accurate.
Wasserman Schultz is lying.
The Obama administration cover-up has been exposed.
Nonetheless, Wasserman Schultz is trying to sell the same crap the Obama administration pushed immediately after the attack - shift the focus to Mitt Romney and criticize him.
When you're in a hole, stop digging. Wasserman Schultz is digging.
I sincerely believe that the safety of our country is at risk with these people in charge.
They are clueless. They are incompetent. They are liars. They are shameless.
