President Obama acts… 1
CNN
First on CNN: The White House released 100 pages of e-mails that detailed the back and forth between the CIA, State Department and the White House in developing talking points following the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
According to senior Obama administration officials, the e-mails demonstrate that the process of developing the so-called talking points was not focused on politics but rather on events. The e-mails indicate that the CIA was likely the lead organization on developing the talking points, with the State Department recommending significant changes.
U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attacks on September 11, 2012.

“Preview: Wednesday’s Benghazi whistle-blower hearing” 1
THE DAILY CALLER
WASHINGTON – Two “whistle-blowers” — who have never before spoken publicly about what really happened when the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi was attacked on Sept. 11, 2012 – are expected to testify before a House committee in a much-anticipated appearance Wednesday.
Four Americans died in the Benghazi attacks, including Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya.
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is calling its hearing, “Benghazi: Exposing Failure and Recognizing Courage.” It’s set to take place Wednesday morning at the Rayburn House Office Building.

“North Korea removes missiles from launch site”
NBC NEWS
By Jim Miklaszewski, Courtney Kube and Andrew Rafferty, NBC News
North Korea has downgraded two Musudan missiles from launch-ready status and removed them from their launch site on the country’s east coast, a senior U.S. official confirmed to NBC News.
Officials would not say where the missiles were moved, but earlier Monday Pentagon press secretary George Little said North Korea’s rhetoric has been toned down in recent weeks, calling it a “provocation pause.”
The Musudan missiles have a range of 1,900 to 2,200 miles, threatening not only South Korea but also Japan and American military bases on Guam. Testing the medium-range missile would have increased the already high tensions between Washington and Pyongyang.
Last month, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said a missile test would be a “huge mistake” and a “provocative and unwanted act.”
