Thanks Iraq John -- -- with us now the assistant managing editor for the Wall Street Journal the journal is owned by the parent company of Fox News Channel.

So something's not right it's -- interest -- it because we were all hearing and learning through official channels.

That this was a terrorist attack.

Before.

Ambassador rice was saying that it was BI and the -- congress is getting kind of mixed signals to.

Adam and toss our national security correspondent Washington has written on this extensively.

These discussions -- gonna occur when Petraeus -- before the intelligence committee.

I'm gonna deal with this full scope of things and in addition to who knew what win and how was it communicated to Washington.

At and which part of Washington do what wins the White House CIA the FBI differently apparently.

They'll be discussions of how was security handled in big -- There was a large security contingent with the CIA group there.

There was a -- sort of informal relationship with the consulate the consulate relied on that security team that was part of the CIA.

What it was that sufficient to assure security for the consulate.

Can you call in somebody from another agency to provide you security if you need it suddenly -- can you do so efficiently all these things are going to be discussed.

It didn't there is the matter of who told Susan Rice.

And I suppose it from the C if I'm that you -- unique -- you know it's its ambassador the United Nations and I wanted to know what happened somewhere.

Like this I might call the director of the CIA right or -- and CIA.

Is the one who was also saying this was about a movie yeah or you get a -- -- you get -- from the White House who got a from the CIA it may not been directly you know the White House says that's not what it was -- so I just wonder if the line might become I don't know.

But -- -- might become.

Susan Rice got from Dave Petraeus David Petraeus has since resigned -- and it's the big question that's been raised is was David Petraeus being a good soldier team player by.

Repeating back what the White House have been saying.

It was the White House.

Behaving completely professionally that was the best information it had it was getting it from the CIA.

Or was the White House playing down the possibility of an -- Qaeda attack because this was right before the election.

They didn't want to make it -- that al-Qaeda was on the rise again.

These are all kind of questions aren't gonna play out some of this is gonna be the fog of war -- some of it might be.

Soldier playing.

Team player we don't know yet but we we don't and we -- find out and that could begin tomorrow in General Petraeus yes that's right.

John thank you -- John busing his work in the work of his colleagues at wsj.com.
