Intel placed you in the hotel bar 24 floors below us. Was just browsing mytcom and caught your piece (hard to miss as it's the tippy top). I know Toria's talked to you, but this thing with the speech is comical on a couple of levels. First, it's one of a dozen things we consider for a trip and then drop. Including entire countries. To put it as the lede makes it seem like it was the State of the Union. She gives 2 Speeches 3 day on the road. I barely notice them. Yes, we decided against it. [remember the moment, We were in a hallway in our hotel in Hanoi, believe Wednesday night. Was hardly a momentous decision. We forego more than we give. Second, if her speechwriters are preparing her for a call to her dentist, they generate 1 l?dra?s. Often, the 1 1th doesn't even reach her. In this case, she saw no drafts. Again, this isn't the SOTU. It comes across as something it's not. Lastly, on citing this to Admin of?cials, you are correct. That is, if you consider Hillary Clinton an Admin Of?cial. Because she decided not to go forward with it. Your sentence makes it sounds like some largerlexternal force put a stop to it. Just not the case.

Thank you for checking in. What Senator McCain did this morning was nothing short of remarkable. But as he said, he?s known her for years, at least since then Senator Clinton traveled with Senator McCain to lraq, I believe in 2005. You know who will get you a juicy quote if you get him on the phone? Senator Lindsey Graham. Knows Home the same way and 1's appalled by this and will express that as only Lindsay Graham can. As for us, here is a comment you can cite to me: These accusations are nothing but vicious and disgusting lies, and anyone who traffics in them should be ashamed of themselves. I would hope that hearing such a remarkable statement from someone of Senator McCain's stature gives her pause in doing so any further. This email is UNCLASSIFIED US.

It?s possible that I sent the quote and spiked the message or just imagined I did. i printed out all the quotes you approved, so I might have the paper copy at home, I left a lot of the material for the piece in the Azores, given the fact checking was done and I was trying to make weight. I threw away anything I had in my computer, or presumed. I can't imagine I imagined a quote approval since I cleared them all, so as I said, I?m puzzled. Steve UNCLASSIFIED US.

Please let me know that you got this. Thanks much. --Lizza JAKE SULLIVAN Stories that I may attribute to Sullivan: Shortly a?er Sullivan takes over, he asks his team to come up with a proposal for the Secretary that builds on what she'd been doing for the previous two years. At the two-year mark Secretary calls a meeting which took stock of what she'd done so far, and would come up with a game-plan for the rest of the term. Sullivan tells Secretary he has a team already working on coming up with a strategy framework around the economic issues she's been developing throughout her term. She invites Sullivan's team to that meeting, along with two deputy secretaries, and Bob Hormats the key decision-makers in the Dept. Sullivan's team makes a call-out to 20 some?odd embassies to come back to him with bucket lists of regulations and rules that are hindering US. business in the countries where they operate. CAN YOU GIVE ME SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF WHAT WAS ON THESE WHICH To start the process of cr'a?ing TPP chapters, Secretary brings a group of executives into the State Dept from Google, HP, Cisco to talk about the innovation challenges they face and the current global trading rules.

Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. 005877809 Date: 0111112016 Sullivan says his team?built the econ statecraft agenda "out of her brain" and general instincts. "This was almost instinctive for her." "She came into of?ce in a time when American business was hurting, the American economy was in a difficult position, and as she traveled around the world and saw the foreign ministers and presidents of other countries ?ghting for their companies, and for their industries and their economies. It didn?t take two meetings before she realized that this was going to be something that she was going to have to stand up for and that nobody had a bigger global megaphone to do it. No one had more reach into the leadership of other countries." THIS IS KEY TO TI-EE NARRATIVE. IMPORTANT THAT I SHE TELL ME THIS STORY IN PERSON. "If 1 were to say there were two pillars of Hillary Clinton's approach to these things, it's number one, I'm going to be the toughest, most relentless advocate for American business that has ever occupied this chair, and number two, I'm going to defend the rules-based order that we built, and update it for the 21st century. You can hear these two principles, and hear what makes her tick.? "If there is a single overarching thing that gets her up in the morning, every day, it's her job to secure and sustain American leadership in the 2 1 st century at a time when we have budget constraints, rising don't think this was the organizing principle for the Bush administration." "Madeleine Albright and Warren Christopher didn't wake up every day and have to think about this. They were secretaries of state at a unipolar point. They were thinking about just deploying tools of power." If the United States can't come up with a clear economic we're not going to he as relevant to the conversation as we should be. The success or failure of this enterprise is going to be measured over a decade (AT LEAST, On Why her megaphone is important to business community: "They [the executives] want to see Hillary Clinton too. They want the Secretary of State to be on their side and he a champion for them. None of these business leaders are saying, 'Wait! You?re not the Commerce Secretary -- What are you doing here?" She sits and thinks about, how can you get a country to change its LP goes to Calcutta and talks to the chief minister (REFERRING T0 MAMATA BANERJEE, about multi- brand retail. Does our Commerce secretary and our Trade Rep also do that - of coorse they do. But what is ultimately going to break open the multiwbrand retail market in India? It's going to be a political decision taken in Delhi. And who has got the capacity to shape arguments, to sit with Prime Minister Singh, to sit with the Chief Minister of West Bengal who is one of the big opponents to it? - Jake's frank quote on how he sees the challenges of this work: "We haven't solved Middle East Peace. We haven?t ended the con?ict in the South China Sea. We haven't stopped Iran yet from getting a nuclear weapon- ..Are Chinese rules and regulations with respect to equity investment very difficult?

"These organizations return money to the Treasury. They operate in the black. It's kind of a no-brainer, and yet there was this massive ?ght for their reauthorization. I think a lot of the opposition at least from the Republican side was, "We don't ?ght socialism with socialism. But that line of thinking is somewhat ill?informed of the way of the markets these days. Boeing is going up against companies that have the ?ll backing of various national governments. Companies are no longer operating in a purely private marketplace. States have entered the markets. And they have their thumb on the scale in any number of ways. ?Today's 30135 are spanning into global markets. Before they were employment factories, and that was their main contribution to GDP. To employ otherwise restive parts of the population and they were historically underperfonning and massively inef?cient. Today's SOEs are getting leaner, far more ef?cient. They are crossing borders. They are becoming household is not something that US companies have a lot of experience going up against." When it comes to sort of solving any one of these largely state-created distortions (in the market), these are fundamentally diplomatic, political questions. ON THE STAKES FOR SMALL BIZ COMPARED TO BIG COMPANIES: The Stakes are self evident by the time it comes down to Boeing or airbus, as compared to a small business that doesn't have the brand name recognition. ON ASEAN, AND BRINGING US COMPANIES TO IT: What we're trying to do is to equip US business for the business of deveIOpment. The world is adding the equivalent of seven Chicago's every year. There's the rise of the middle class. People have discretionary income for the ?rst time. TALKS ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN THE REGION THAT THE US COMPANIES WANT TO BE INVOLVED "[Advocacy] is not going to tip the balance. That alone cannot be our answer to enhancing US competitiveness." "When you put that [referring to commercial advocacy] against anything else that Russia or a lot of other states are doing - these states are heavily invested in seeing their national champions do well - when you pair what pair what we're doing against what they are doing, we need to be doing a lot more than these occasional statements, the occasional pitch at this or that that time the stakes are probably fairly clear. What would be more use?il is to have a healthier notion of the competition that goes into things rising to that about the 99 percent of deals that didn't even make sense for them (US companies) to bid on?" What's new here in the economic diplomacy space is not the speci?c deal, the sort of transactional commercial diplomacy, the one-off big ticket It's to push just as hard against the regulatory morass that will often skew the tender before it even becomes ripe enough for Secretary Clinton to make that slight pitch at a given summit. It's to widen the aperture and back up six steps prior to that. On China: "There was a slow retreat of the State in favor of private companies. What may be happening now is the reverse.

Are they going to get bonuses, or salary bumps, or promotions for doing certain things? If so, what?

In the midst of a US presidential campaign, the former candidate is expected to steer clear of politics at home and portray Washington as an anchor of stability in a region where China has increasingly batted heads with neighbors. Clinton will head ?rst to the Cook Islands, an archipelago of just 11,000 people, to bacome the ?rst US secretary of state to take part in an annual summit of South Paci?c islands -- where Chjna's clout is growing. Clinton will go Tuesday to China, where aides said she will meet President Hu Jintao and other top of?cials and take up the ?ll] gamut of issues between the world's two largest economies, including heated maritime disputes. In unusually robust statements, the United States has recently accused China of escalating tensions and warned against "divide and conquer" tactics after Beijing set tip a remote garrison in the South China Sea. The Philippines, Vietnam and other nations claim islands in the South China a -- the passageway for half of the world's commercial cargo -- and have accused Beijing of a campaign of intimidation. China's state-mu Xinhua news agency accused Clinton of trying to "contain China's increasing in?uence" and said that the core of US strategy "is to defend its dominance and hegemony in the Asia-Paci?c region.? Xinhua had harsher words for Mitt Romney, who is challenging President Barack Obama in November 6 elections, saying that the Republican's tough talk on issues from Taiwan to 11 UNCLASSIFIED US Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. 0058?7840 Date: 01I11I2016 5 8 7 7 8 4 us.

During Clinton's last visit to the region in July, foreign ministers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations failed at a meeting in Beijing-friendly Cambodia to forge a common way forward that would let them seek a code of conduct to govern disputes in the South China Sea. A senior US of?cial said that Clinton wanted all sides "to abstain from provocative steps" and that she would confer with Indonesia and Brunei on the future of diplomacy for a long-mooted code of conduct. I "She-'5 certainly going to ask in ASEAN about the aftermath of what transpired in July," the of?cial-said on condition of anonymity. Ernie Bower of the Center for Strategic and International Studies said that Clinton's visit - her third to Asia? since May -- was part of an effort to f'institutionalize? US presence on the continent, particularly the Paci?c. "One of the enormous motivations behind it is to manage China well, but I don't think it's all about China," said Bower, the director of the think tank's Southeast Asia program. "There are also a lot of intrinsic bene?ts for the United States through good relationships, security ties and economic ties" in Asia, he said. Clinton, who will end her trip at an Asia Pacific summit in the Russian port city of Vladivostok off the Paci?c Ocean, will also be confronted by rising? friction over territorial disputes between Japan and both fellow US ally South Korea and China. have to say that the recent spate of tensions between Japan and Korea has caused concerns in the United States and elsewhere and we are again urging restraint, calm and statesmanship," the US of?cial said. The official said that the United States hoped that individual citizens and business leaders could work to create a"215t?century" relationship between Japan and South Korea, whose ties are marred by wartime memories. The ?areUp, including a visit by South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak to islands disputed with Japan, has set back US hopes that its two allies would work together in the face of a rising China and uncertainties over nuclear-med North Korea. Clinton, who is already the most-traveled secretary of state in US history, will chalk-up several new feats on her trip. Besides being the ?rst to take part in the Paci?c Islands Forum, Clinton will become the ?rst secretary of state to visit East Timor, which is still developing after it painfully won independence from Indonesia in 2002. And with her trip to Brunei, Clinton becomes the ?rst trip US diplomat to visit all 10 nations in ASEAN. set/oh US-ASIA-DIPLOMACY - 0812910012 22:48 - AFP Service: World News (ANA) l2 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. (30587?840 Date: 01l11l2016 CO 5 87 7 8 52FIED US.

I?m writing to you from USA Today's editorial page to invite Secretary Clinton to comment on a column Written by USA Today found Al Neuharth. The column discusses the role of the First Lady. I?m including a copy of the column at the bottom of this email. To give you some context on our request: Mr. Neuharth's column is a weekly feature in USA Today, and it's always accompanied by two brief remarks from people who are involved in or knowledgeable about the topic. The comments are limited to just 25-30 words but can offer any perspective on the subjects Mr. Neuharth discusses. Here are a few examples of previous columns with feedback: 1.9030(1. Because the column will run in Friday's paper, we would need to receive the Secretary's comment of 25-30 words by 4:00 pm. ET tomorrow. . Could you please consider discuss the requesr with Mrs. Clinton and let me know as soon as possible- I?ll need to ?nd someone else if she?s unavailable. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you for considering it. Best, Elizabeth Held USA TODAY editorial page I36 The most memorable speech at the Republican National Convention in Tampa this week was by Ann Romney. The most memorable at the Democrat?s confab in Charlotte next week is likely to be First Lady Michelle Obama. All of us ought to be grateful that a sensible and sensitive woman will be our First Lady, no matter who wins the presidential election. The public and private role of the First Lady cannot be over-emphasized. She?s the ?rst person he talks to in the morning and the last one in the evening. Usually they have a relationship which makes him listen. I've been fortunate to get to know every first lady since Marnie Doud Eisenhower, when she and lit: occupied the White House from 1953 to 196l. Her role wasn?t too dif?cult because lite was a straight arrow. But the toughest role a First Lady has faced was Hillary Clinton's, when her husband Bill played sexual games with a White House aide Monica Lewinsky. Hillary could have abandoned Bill then and we all would have understood. But she stayed by him and has gone on to become one of the most effective and famous female politicians in our history. Whatever your feelings about Bill and Hillary Clinton, you should consider the role of the First Lady in the White House. She?s far more important than any politician in the White House or Congress. We're fortunate that both'Michellc Oberon and Ann Romney probably can be counted on to help keep their husbands on the right track. So, as you consider who you will vote for for President, think about his roommate as well as him. UNCLASSIFIED US. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. 00587853?

Even Ms. Hager alone with her mother and grandmother would be a very special event. Whoever came up with the idea has a great sense of TV coupled with real creativity. On our end, you won't be shocked to hear me say that the Sacretary travels abroad at a breakneck speed. And that's only getting worse as our Jan 2013 expiration date gets closer and closer. We'll be spending much of our remaining time outside the US. So if you could let me know as this shapes up in terms of the participation of all the others. that would be a huge help.

Only Ike is the exception. The last three Presidents (the first baby boomers), obviously including her dad, daughters. This is not exactly a statistically valid sample size, but led me to look into studies about the differences between men with daughter vs men without, and there's some solid research showing it makes men more attuned, sensitive, and supportive of women's issue- On study looked at Co ngressional records and found a pattern of voting habits that correlated to the gender makeup of their children.

So schedule wise, there are two windows: 1) 9f10-9/21 in DC 2) 8130-919 on the trip If we'd need to be thinking about events she does outside of State, like a speech, where you could shoot backstage and other non-public moments. As I originally explained to Melina, shooting her at State is very difficult because of the security constraints, and on a purely creative level, everyone agrees it?s a deeply unsatisfying setting. Bad light. Drabbv decor. Etc. And the car's not an option. I On there's always great moments on trips. Yes, we already have a pool photographer, but you could come as a totally separate entity.

Are you rested from the trip? Enough to toss around ideas? I understand Gintdn will be away starting the 30th again. We were hoping to get something informal of The Secretary for the article rather than shaking hands and the usual "stiff" stuff (those are my words). What would that be? Is it possible to photograph The Secretary riding in the motorcade to Andrews and her getting on the plane from inside the plane. As I understand it, there is one pool photographer per trip. That might work if it was a short jaunt but I'm guessing she doesn't do many so. I digress. L_et me know what you think. She is lovely, very human and remarkably intelligent. It would be nice to show all those things in a relaxed environment. Many thanks. Linda Davidson Staff Photographer UNCLASSIFIED US. Department of State Case NO. F-2012-36691 Doc NO.

So I'm starting to focus my story a bit more, and I have a few requests if possible! Most of this relates to her stop in Ulaanbaator. First, would like to see if it?s possible to set something up with whomever was behind the LEND network that was launched in Ulaanbaator during the last trip. I'd like to learn more speci?cally about how that idea came to be. Also: I know Kurt Campbell Is away, but if there is someone who works with'him who can talk about the signi?cance of Sec. Clinton's visit to Mongolia, that would be great, though I'd still like to set up something with Kurt Campbell as soon as his schedule allows. When you circle back to Jen Klein, can you see if there is someone who can talk about Sec. Clinton?s speech at the International Women's Leadership Forum event in Ulaanbaator, and what the largiEr meaning of that was? Last thing: Undersec. Kennedy talked yesterday about Sec. Clinton's work addressing the vacancy rate that had reached, I think he said, 6 percent or so. I'm wondering if someone can tell me whether any of the vacancies that have been FILLED since she took office are in embassies she visited during the Asia trip: so that weald be Paris, Tokyo, Kabul, Ulaanbaator, Hanoi, Vientienne, Phnom Penh, Cairo, Jerusalem. Even if it?s a janitor, I don't care. In fact, if you have the actual positions, that wouid be even better. I'm available all next week. Thanks so much Ashley!

Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. Date: om 1i2016 Subject: Re: AF 44? Hi Philippe, Thanks for the note. It has to do with momentum. According to the theory, after some initial acceleration into the fall, the plane would reach a fairly uniform speed downward- At that point, passengers would lose the sense of motion, in the same way passengers on a working plane don't feel like they're moving 600 horizontally. Of course, this still depends on a number of assumptions. The initial might very well have been shocking enough to wake everyone up. Or, it may have woken just a few, who screamed- The theory also assumes that the pitch of the plane remained stable. If it was spinning or see?sawing, all bets are off. So there's likely an element of wishful thinking here. Interestingly, Stephen Hawking uses a similar scenario to illustrate Einstein?s theory of relativity: If two passengers on a train play ping-pong, the ball is unaware of the train's momentum; it moves across the table just as it would on solid ground. Which, come to think of it, is also moving pretty quickly as the world . Hope you're well.

I would love to go for more days and more countries! However, my cancer doctors aren't enthusiastic about overseas travel for me at all, so I?m trying to pick maior cities with easy access. Ashley and I discussed my staying though Brunei but that travel sounds exhaustive and hard to return home. Also Asia is so important to HRC, and is one of the themes we discussed. I hope you understand. However, I firmly believe I MUST see HRC on foreign soil as a diplomat for the page-one pro?le, 'which I expect my mini- trip will accomplish. Also it appears to have bi-Iateral and public diplomacy elements, which would be a good flavor of how she approaches her travel. I'm fool-ting fonrvard to flying with you guys between Jakarta and Beijing (why do you say "endure"?) . Even though I won?t chat with HRC on the plane, I will still get some color, right? Also I hope you will be sure that I reconnect with her on the trip, because, I haven?t spoken to HRC since her campaign!

We're spending a good chunk of the day flying to and from South Sudan. But on background it's very safe to say that we obviously felt comfortable coming or we wouldn't have. We've been monitoring the situatiOn closely since it was first reported, and we've maintained regular contact with our embassy - including their medical personnel. Unrelated to this we happen to have a State Dept doctor traveling with us (we always bring one on trips to regicms where the medical care isn't entirely up to Western standards}, and in her former life happened to be an infectious disease researcher, so she's been a big help in evaluating the situation. Lastly, we touched based with the highest levels of the CDC - both at home and on the ground here - at several points along the way, including as recently as last night and today in the air. 50 we stayed informed, stayed in contact with the experts, and then made the decision to continue as planned.

Personal material important to surviving relatives represents an even-more delicate and unusual dilemma. - CNN said on its website that it notified the Stevens family "within hours" that it had the journal. But the StevEns family then reached out to the State Department, which arranged a telephone conference call between members of the Stevens family and CNN. In that call, the family personally appealed to the news organization to return the journal and to not publish or broadcast any of its contents, according to a Stevens family member and State Department of?cials.

Some of you have told me you don't like how your network is handling Ambassador Stevens's diary. But like it or not, what I'm trying to understand is exactly what it is that you are doing. Because you're not reporting what the diary says. But you're not NOT reporting what the diary says. You're in some kind of convoluted middle ground that doesn't make sense and isn't working. Set aside for a moment the wishes of the family and whether their consent is necessary. You?ve had the diary since the 14th. You read it when you found it. It hasn't changed since you first read it. You have known everything it says for the past nine days. You decided that what Chris Stevens wrote needs to be reported. You decided that the contents require it given yourjtiurnalistic standards, and your obligation to the public. You decided that given what happened, what was happening, and ultimately to help prevent it from happening again, what the diary contained needed to be reported in a timely manner. Then do so on the 14th. Report it all at once. Clearly attribute your reporting to the diary. Read on-air what the public needs to know. I Post online what you think is appropriate. I I But I just can?t make sense of how the last nine days have unfolded. And there's still no resolution. Abide by the family's wishes, or don't Wait 0 days, or wait forever. Reporton the diary, or don't. But whatever it is that you decided, no matter how you came to that decision, and no matter when you came to that decision - just do it. Because how you handle this is greatly affecting people. i don't mean you. I don't mean us. 36 UNCLASSIFIED US. Department of State Case No. Doc No. 005873161 Date: 01f29i2016 US.

CNN vs. the State Department: A Long Story By Erik Wemple The Washington Post Posted at 02:37 PM ET, 09i23l2012 Anderson Cooper on Wednesday night brought his viewers some big news about the fatal Sept. 11 attacks against the U5. consulate and nearby annex in Benghazi, Libya. All manner of details on the provenance,and circumstances of the assaults that ciaimed the lives of U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others have been unclear or in dispute. So the information that CNN divulged found an eager'audience. Here?s Cooper: "Now, you are looking at the scene just outside the consulate in Benghazi as a pro-American crowd tried to rush Ambassador Stevens, who was wounded, still alive, to the hospital. Tonight. obtains exclusive information about the climate that led up to all of this. A source familiar with Ambassador Stevens? thinking said in the months before his death, he talked about being worried about what he called the never-ending security threats, specifically in Benghazi. The source [is] telling us that the ambassador specifically mentioned the rise in lslamic extremism, the growing al-Daeda presence in Libya, and said that he was on an avaaeda hit list." Exclusive, foreign, terrorism-related, breaking news that?s so CNN. The Web ate the story for breakfast and lunch the next day. On Friday night, Cooper returned to the topic of Stevens, this time with more compelling stuff: "The information for [Wednesday?s] report, like all of CNN's reporting, was carefully vetted. Some of that information was found in a personal journal of Ambassador Stevens in his handwriting. We came upon the journal through our reporting and noti?ed the family. At their request, we returned that journal to them. We reported what we found newsworthy in the ambassadoi?s writings. Our reporting followed up on what we found newsworthy, as I said, in the ambassador?s writings." Those are six very heavy sentences. And there's an extensive story behind them, as the Wall Street Journal and the Huffington Post reported on Saturday. The family of the late ambassador had requested that CNN not issue any reports based on the journal or even reference its existence before the family consented. CNN agreed to abide by the family?s wishes, according to Philippe Reines, a State Department spokesman who listened in on a conference call between a CNN executive and a representative of the Stevens family. State and CNN have spent a good part of the weekend trading nasty words on the spat. The length of this State Department tract alone makes clearjust how peeved its leadership is: Given the truth of how this was handled, CNN patting themselves on the back is disgusting. What they're not owning up to is reading and Chris?s diary well before bothering to tell the family or anyone else that they took it from the site of the attack. Or that when they finally did tell them, they completely ignored the wishes of the family, and ultimately broke their pledge made to them only hours after they witnessed the return to the Unites States of Chris?s remains. Whose first instinct is to remove from a crime scene the diary of a man killed along with three other Americans serving our country, read it, transCribe it, email it around your newsroom for others to read, and only when their curiosity is fully satisfied thinks to call the family or notify the authorities? When a junior person at CNN called, they didn?t say, 'Hello, I know this is a terrible time, but I?m sure you want your son's diary, where do you want it sent?? They instead took the opportunity to ask the family if CNN could report on its contents. Contents known only to Chris Stevens, and those at CNN who had already invaded his privacy. 3? UNCLASSIFIED US. Department of State Case No. Doc No. 005878161 Date: 01f29r?2016 IED US. Department of State Case Naif-2012436691 Doc: No. 0058713161 Date: 011292016 When the seniormost levels of CNN were finally reached, they needed to be convinced to do the right thing. But not before they took a second shot at convincing the family to let them report on the contents. A family member made it clear directly to CNN that they wanted Chris's diary and would not make any other decisions until then. But that wasn't fast enough for CNN, so they helpfully offered to send the family the transcript they'd already made and passed around, to put a rush on it for their own purposes. It was then made clear to them, for what must have been the fourth time in the same call, that they wanted to look at it privately, together as a family before making any decisions. Period. CNN ?nally heard their request enough times that they had to accept it, agreed to abide by the clear wishes of the Stevens family, and pledged not to use the diary or even allude to its existence until hearing back from the family. But the Stevens family was never given that chance. i guess four days was as long as CNN could control themselves, so they just went ahead and used it. Entirely because they felt like it. Andersen Cooper didn?t even bother to offer any other explanation as to why the network broke its promise to the family. And only did so after being contacted by a reporter asking about the diary and their convoluted sourcing. How do they justify that? They have yet to even try to defend the indefensible. Not a proud episode in CNN's history. I?m sure there are many good people in the CNN newsroom equally appalled by this decision and wondering who above them authorized'this course of action. And CNN: "We think the public had a right to know what CNN had learned from multiple sources about the fears and warnings of a terror threat before the Benghazi attack which are now raising questions about why the State Department did n?t do more to protect Ambassador Stevens and other U.S. personnel. Perhaps the real question here is why is the State Department now attacking the messenger." In sum, an extraordinary disagreement between this country?s foreign-policy shop and one of its more aggressive agents of foreign reportage. It all stems from the unique circumstances that unraveled on Sept. 11. The attacks on the consulate and annex were severe enough that the State Department evacuated all U.S. personnel from the compound, leaving, in effect, an unsecured crime scene. A full three days after the attack, CNN senior international correspondent Arwa Damon found Stevens? journal at the site of the Benghazi consulate, according to Reines. Reines foundout about the journal not long after a "return of remains" ceremony for Ambassador Stevens and the other victims at Andrews Air Force Base on Friday, Sept. 14. He received a call from State's protocol of?ce-alerting him that someone from CNN had called the Stevens family with the news that they'd recovered the ambassador?s journal. To CNN's request to report on its contents, the family member responded in the negative. The Stevens family wanted State's help, so Reines got in touch with a Stevens family member who con?rmed the story for him. Now Reines wanted to chat with CNN, so he emailed the woman CNN staffer Meredith Edwards who?d reportedly contacted the Stevens family. No reply. Next on the list was Mark Whitaker, a ranking CNN news executive. Heine's asked Whitaker whether the story he'd heard was accurate. Whitaker confirmed the gist of things but wasn?t forthcoming, recalls Reines: "He was clearly sheepish and defensive from the beginning,? says Reines. "He said, ?We're talking to our lawyers.? And I said, 'Mark, if you?re talking to your lawyers, then you know you're on shaky ground.? That call was merely a prelude to more calls. Later that Friday, Reines chatted with Richard Griffiths, a key CNN editorial official who con?rmed of the Stevens diary and explained that the fate ambassador had procured it in Stockholm and had started writing in, it on his last holiday. Reines discussed getting Grif?ths on the line with the Stevens family to hash out the affair. Griffiths then told Reines how he?d pitch the family: That the journal provided a beautiful window into Stevens's character and dedication to his work and that they?d like permission to go ahead and use it on air. 33 UNCLASSIFIED US. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. Date: 01f29f2016 5 8 7 8 6 us. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. cosereiai Date: 01/29f2016 In a subsequent conforence call with the family and State of?cials, CNN's Griffiths "regurgitated" the script, Reines says. The family member listened and said no. Reines: "The family member thoughtfully and clearly told Grif?ths that this was Chris?s personal property and that they believed it was their personal property now, that they wanted it back and that they would not make any other decisions about it? until they reviewed it. There wasn't an insistence that they'd never bless its use, not an indication that they would just a preference that they jointly take a look at the contents before making any decisions. Grif?ths asked if the family would be okay with CNN at least saying that it had recovered the journal on the site of the attacks and had returned it to the family. Family member: No. After that rejection, Griffiths told the Stevens family member that CNN had transcribed the diary and could pass it along in e?mail format. The family member declined to share an e-mail address, so the parties agreed that Griffiths would send the text to Reines, who would then forward it on to the Stevens family. Reines ful?lled his middleman role and 'says he has never glimpsed at the contents of the e-mail; nor has any State Department of?cial had access to it, he says. One clear takeaway from the conference call, says Reines, is CNN's standing on the question of family deference. It was absolute, he says Grif?ths stated that the network would honor the wishes ofthe family not to mention the journal on air. here was no other caveat or asterisk," says Reines, whose account was corroborated by two other State Department sources who overheard the conference call. The next step was arranging for Damon to pass the journal along to an ltalian diplomat so that it could be delivered back to the family. "The first order of business was getting this out of hands, given their behavior and their insensitive interactions with the family,? says Reines. Things were quiet until the following week, when Cooper began what Reines called "breathless" coverage alleging that Stevens believed he was on an al-Qaeda hit list. That information, in Cooper?s wording, was based on an anonymous source. "They constructed something that allowed them to satisfy their minimaljournalistic standards to break their pledge to the family," says Reines. The network differs, saying that it had "multiple sources" for that information. "Out of respect to the family, we have not quoted from or shown the journal," says a CNN statement. CNN never apprised anyone in the Stevens family of its plans to mention the journal on air, says Reines, though a CNN source insists that the network tried many times to reach the family after the Sept. 14 conference call, ?to no avail." In its statement, CNN gives this explanation for discussing the item on air: "The reason CNN ultimately reported Friday on the existence of the journal was because leaks to media organizations incorrectly suggested CNN had not quickly returned the journal, which we did." Odd bit of reasoning: Did CNN run some material because someone had apparently peddled false rumors to other news outlets? The Wall Street Journal, says Reines, was poking around at this story, asking CNN if it was true that it had come into possession of the Stevens journal. [The Wall Street Journal declined to comment on the matter). explanation for breaking their promise to the ambassador?s'family is that someone was leaking on them, rather than any kind of responsibility to their own standards," says Reines. "That is hardly a profile in courage." Aside from this non-consideration, says Reines, CNN's editorial formulations didn't change from the moment it spoke with the family to the time that it apprised its viewers of the journal. "The only thing that changed was their integrity," says Reines. Any fair accounting of this dispute must start with an endorsement of industriousness. That a reporter from the network got to the scene and fetched an item that no one else had found speaks well of CNN and its commitment to 39 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department Of State Case No. F-2012?3669?l Doc No. Date: 011292016 US. Department of State Case No. Doc: No. (305878161 Date: 01f29f2016 international reporting. If CNN hadn't been on the ground, after all, the Stevens famin may never have recovered the journal. That a news organization, and not a U.5. government entity, scored the journal speaks ill of the latter. From there, the story gets more complicated. Journals enjoy an exalted cone of privacy among civilized people: Hands off. That cune shatters, of course. when'we?re talking about the writings of an ambassador who?s been killed in a high-pro?le attack in a volatile foreign country. Reflections and information in the journal may be of immediate public interest, an imperative that steamrolls any considerations about privacy. Not only was CNN right to read and copy the journal, but also it was obligated by its newsgathering mission to do so. I Judging from the record, it's clear that the journal was instrumental in CNN's Wednesday night story about Ambassador Stevens and the al-Qaeda angle. That piece was unflattering to the interests of the State Department, which, after all, is entrusted with protecting its personnel overseas. Is that why State is so upset over this matter? Not at all, says Reines: "The reaction that they are getting [from State] is in response to their lying to the family," said Reines. As to the underlying story about how effectively State protected its people, Reines responds, "Questions about what happened are legitimate and are being asked and are being reviewed." Now, on to how CNN handled the family of the late ambassador. The network appeared to be leading from behind when it asked for permission to use the journal in its broadcasts an approach that suggests that the family had veto rights over the material. A more headstrong news organization would have politer told the family that it had recovered this personal effect, had reviewed it and was inclined to use the material. Had the family objected, CNN could have responded that it would take its wishes into consideration but would issue no guarantees. Says Reines: ?if they had Mirandized the family in that phone call . . . I would say I disagree and.l probably would appealwould disparage them to my colleagues and would say the media sucks and here?s another example, but I wouldn?t make an argument to them on the law." mm ?10 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2D12-36691 Doc No. (305878161 Date: 01l29r?2016 5 8 7 8 6 3 IE0 Us.

Anderson Cooper didn?t even bother to offer any other explanation as to why the network broke its promise. And only did so after being contacted by a reporter asking about the diary and their convoluted sourcing. Not a proud moment in CNN's history, and I?d hope that many of the good people who work there agree. 59 US. Department of State Case No. Doc No. Date: O?ll29l2016 THE) US.

PM ET, DQIZBIZOIZ a CNN's Anderson Cooper on Wednesday night brought his viewers some big news about the fatal Sept. 11 attacks against the U.S. consulate and nearby annex in Benghazi, Libya. All manner of details on the provenance and circumstances of the assaults that claimed the lives of U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others have been unclear or in dispute. So the information that CNN divulged found an eager audience. Here's Cooper: 2) Now, you are looking at the scene just outside the consulate in . Benghazi as a pro-American crowd tried to rush Ambassador Stevens, who a was wounded, still alive, to the hospital. Tonight, obtains exclusive information about the climate that led up to all of this. A source familiar with Ambassador Stevens' thinking said in the months before his death, he talked about being worried about what he called the never-ending security threats, speci?cally in Benghazi. The source [is] telling us that the ambassador specifically mentioned the rise in Islamic extremism, the growing al-Qaeda presence in Libya, and said that he was on an aI?Qaeda hit list. Exclusive, foreign, terrorism-related, breaking news that's so CNN. I The Web ate the story for breakfast and lunch the next day.

Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. Date: 01l29i2016 night, Cooper returned to the topic of Stevens, this time with more compelling stuff: The information for [Wednesday's] report, like all of CNN's reporting, a was carefully vetted. Some of that information was found in a personal 2? journal of Ambassador Stevens in his handwriting. We came upon the a journal through our reporting and notified the family. 2) At their request, we returned that journal to them. We reported what we found newsworthy in the ambassador?s writings. Our reporting followed up on what we found newsworthy, as I said, in the ambassador's writings. Those are six very heavy sentences. And there?s an extensive story a behind them, as the Wall Street Journal and the Huf?ngton Post reported on Saturday. a The family of the late ambassador had requested that CNN not issue any reports based on the journal - or even reference its existence before the family consented. CNN agreed to abide by the family's wishes, according to Philippe Reines, a State Department spokesman who listened in on a conference call between a CNN executive and a representative of the Stevens family. State and CNN have spent a good part of the weekend trading nasty words on the spat. The length of this State Department tract alone makes clear just how peeved its leadership is: Given the truth of how this was handled, CNN patting themselves on the back is disgusting. What they?re not owning up to is reading and transcribing Chris?s diary well before bothering to tell the family or anyone else that they took it from the site of the attack. Or that when they finally did tell them, they completely ignored the wishes of the family, and ultimately broke their pledge made to them only hours after they witnessed the return to the Unites States of Chris?s remains. Whose first'instinct is to remove from a crime scene the diary of a man killed along with three other Americans serving our country, read it, transcribe it, email it around your newsroom for others to read, and only when their curiosity is fully satisfied thinks to call the. a? family or notify the authorities? :3 When a junior person at CNN called, they didn?t say, ?Hello, I know this is a terrible time, but I?m sure you want your son's diary, where 3- do you want it sent?? They instead took the opportunity to ask the family if CNN could report on its contents. Contents known only to Chris Stevens, and those at CNN who had already invaded his privacy. 3- When the seniormost levels of CNN were ?nally reached, they needed to be convinced to do the right thing. But not before they took a second 2? shot at convincing the family to let them report on the contents. A family member made it clear directly to CNN that they wanted 2? Chris's diary and would not make any other decisions until then. But a that wasn't fast enough for CNN, so they helpfully offered to send the family the transcript they?d already made and passed around, to put a rush on it for their own purposes. 4 UNCLASSIFIED US.

Date: 01992016 It was then made clear to them, for what must have been the fourth time in the same call, that they wanted to look at it privately, 2: together as a family before making any decisions. Period. CNN ?nally heard their request enough times that they had to accept it, agreed to abide by the clear wishes of the Stevens family, and pledged not to a use the diary or even allude to its existence until hearing back from the family. .

And only did so after being contacted by a reporter a asking about the diary and their convoluted sourcing. How do they justify that? They have yet to even try to defend the indefensible. Not a proud episode in history. I?m sure there are many good people in the CNN newsroom equally appalled by'this decision' a and wondering who above them authorized this course of action. And CNN: We think the public had a right to know what CNN had learned from multiple sources about the fears and warnings of a terror threat before the Benghazi attack which are now raising questions about why the State Department didn't do more to protect Ambassador Stevens and a other US. personnel. Perhaps the real question here is why is the State Department now attacking the messenger. in sum, an extraordinary disagreement between this country?s foreign?policy shop and one of its more aggressive agents of foreign reportage. it all stems from the unique circumstances that unraveled on Sept. 11. The attacks on the consulate and annex were severe enough that the State Department evacuated all U.S. personnel from the compound, leaving, in effect, an unsecured crime scene. 31 A full three clays after the attack, CNN senior international correspondent Arwa Damon found Stevens' journal at the site of the >,Benghazi consulate, according to Reines. 2* Reines found out about the journal not long after a "return of remains" ceremony for Ambassador Stevens and the other victims at Andrews Air a Force Base on Friday, Sept. 14. He received a call from State?s protocol office alerting him that someone from CNN had called the Stevens family with the news that they'd recovered the ambassador?s journal. To request to report on its contents, the family member responded in the negative. 3' The Stevens family wanted State's help, so Reines got in touch with a Stevens family member who con?rmed the story for him. Now Reines a? wanted to chat with CNN, so he e-mailed the woman - CNN staffer Meredith Edwards who?d reportedly contacted the Stevens family. No reply. Next on the list was Mark Whitaker, a ranking CNN news 2: executive. Reines asked Whitaker whether the story he'd heard was 5 UNCLASSIFIED US.

Whitaker confirmed the gist of things but wasn't forthcoming, recalls Reines: "He was clearly sheepish and defensive from the beginning," says Reines. said, ?We're talking to our lawyers.? And I said, 'Mark, if you?re talking to your lawyers, then yeti know you're on shaky ground.? a That call was merely a prelude to more calls. Later that Friday, Reines chatted with Richard Griffiths, a key CNN editorial of?cial 3 who con?rmed possession of the Stevens diary and explained that the a late ambassador had procured it in Stockholm and had started writing in it on his last holiday. Reines discussed getting Griffiths on the line with the Stevens family 3- to hash out the affair. Grif?ths then told Reines how he'd pitch the a family: That the journal provided a beautiful window into Stevens?s character and dedication to his work and that they?d like permission to go ahead and use it on air. In a subsequent conference call with the family and State officials, Griffiths "regurgitated" the Reines says. The family 2: member listened and said no. Reines: ?The family member thoughtfully and clearly told Griffiths that this was Chris?s personal property and that they believed it was their personal property now, that they wanted it back and that they would not make any other decisions about a it" until they reviewed it. There wasn't an insistence that they'd never bless its use, nor an indication that they would just a preference that they jointly take a look at the contents before making any decisions. 3 Griffiths asked if the family would be okay with CNN at least saying that it had recovered the journal on the site of the attacks and had returned it to the family. Family member: No. After that rejection, Grif?ths told the Stevens family member that CNN had transcribed the diary and could pass it along in e-mail format. The family member declined to share an e-mail address,-so the parties agreed that Griffiths would send the text to Reines, who ivould then forward it on to the Stevens family. Reines fulfilled his 2- middleman role and says he has never glimpsed at the contents of the a e-mail; nor has any State Department official had access to it, he says. One clear takeaway from the conference call, says Reines, is standing on the question of family deference. It was absolute, he says Griffiths stated that the network would honor the wishes of the family not to mention the journal on air. "There was no other caveat or asterisk," says Reines, whose account was corroborated by two other State Department sources who overheard the conference call. The next step was arranging for Damon to pass the journal along to an Italian diplomat so that it could be delivered back to the family. "The first order of business was getting this out of CNN's hands, a given their behavior and their insensitive interactions with the family,? says Reines. Things were quiet until the following week, when Cooper began what Reines called "breathless" coverage alleging that Stevens believed he was on an al-Qaeda hit list. That information, in Cooper's wording, 6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. Doc No. Date: 01i29f2016 5 8 7 8 7 7 us. Department of State Case No. Doc No. 0058?8177 Date: oiresreoie was based on an anonymous source. "They constructed something that allowed them to satisfy their minimal journalistic standards to break their pledge to the family,? says Reines. The network differs, saying that it had ?muitiple sources? for that information. "Out of respect to the family, we have not quoted from or shown the journal," says a CNN statement. . CNN never apprised anyone in the Stevens family of its plans to mention the journal on air, says Reines,- though a CNN source insists that the network tried many times to reach the family after the Sept. 14 conference call, "to no avail.? In its statement, CNN gives this explanation for discussing the item on air: The reason CNN ultimately reported Friday on the existence of the a journal was because leaks to media organizations incorrectly suggested CNN had not quickly returned the journal, which we did. It Odd bit of reasoning: Did CNN run some material because someone had apparently peddled false rumors to other news outlets? The Wall Street Journal, says Reines, was poking around at this story, asking CNN if r: it was true that it had come into possession of the Stevensjournai. (The Wall Street Journal declined to comment on the matter). . explanation for breaking their promise to the ambassador's family is that someone was leaking on them, rather than any kind of to their own standards,? says Reines. "That is hardly a pro?le in courage." 1: Aside from this non?consideration, says Reines, CNN's editorial 2- formulations didn't change from the moment it spoke with the family to the time that it apprised its viewers of the journal. he only thing :a that changed was their Reines. Any fair accounting of this dispute must start with an endorsement of CNN's industriousness. That a reporter from the network got to the a scene and fetched an item that no one else had found speaks well of 2: CNN and its commitment to international reporting. If CNN hadn't been a on the ground, after all, the Stevens family may never have recovered the journal. That a news organization, and not a US. government entity, scored the journal speaks ill of the latter. From there, the story gets more complicated. Journals enjoy an exalted cone of privacy among civilized people: Hands off. I) 32- That cone shatters, of course, when we're talking about the writings of an ambassador who?s been killed in a high-pro?le attack in a a? volatile foreign country. Reflections and information in the journal may be of immediate public interest, an imperative that steamrolls any a considerations about privacy. Not only was CNN right to read and copy 2- the journal, but also it was obligated by its newsgathering mission to do so. Judging from the record, it?s clear that the journal was instrumental in CNN's Wednesday night story about Ambassador Stevens and the al-Qaeda angle. That piece was un?attering to the interests of the 3" UNCLASSIFIED US. Department of State Case No. Doc: No. 005378177 Date: D1r'29r?2016 IED US.

Is that why State is so upset over this matter? a? Not at all, says Reines: ?The reaction that they are getting [from State] is in response to their lying to the family," said Reines. As to the underlying story about how effectively State protected its people, Reines responds, "Questions about what happened are legitimate and are being asked and are being reviewed." . 3- Now, on to how CNN handled the family of the late ambassador. The network appeared to be leading from behind when it asked for permission to use the journal in its broadcasts an approach that suggests that the family had veto rights over the material. A more headstrong news organization would have politely told the family that it had recovered this personal effect, had reviewed it and was inclined to use the material. Had the family objected, CNN could have responded that it would take its wishes into consideration but would issue no guarantees. Says Reines: "If they had Mirandized the family in that phone call . . . I would say I disagree and I probably would a appealwould disparage them to my a colleagues and would say the media sucks and here's another example, but I wouldn?t make an argument to them on the law."

Because you?re not reporting what the diary says. But you're not NOT reporting what the diary says. You're in some kind of convoluted middle ground that doesn't make sense and isn't working. Set aside for a moment the wishes of the family and whether their consent is necessary. You've had the diary since the 14th. You read it when you found it. it hasn't changed since you first read it. You have known everything it says for the past nine days. You decided that what Chris Stevens wrote needs to be re'ported. lieu decided that the contents require it given yourjournalistic standards, and your obligation to the public. You decided that given what happened, what was happening, and ultimately to help prevent it from happening again, what the diary contained needed to be reported in a timely manner. Then do so on the lath. Report it all at once. Clearly attribute your reporting to the diary. Read on-air what the public needs to know. Post online what you think is appropriate.

Griffiths then told Reines how he'd pitch the family: That the journal provided a beautiful window into Stevens?s charactEr and dedication to his work and that they?d like permission to go ahead and use it on air. In a subsequent conference call with the family and State officials, CNN's Griffiths "regurgitated" the script, Reines says. The family member listened and said no. Reines: "The family member thoughtfuliy and clearly told Grif?ths that this was Chris's personal property and that they believed it was their personal property now, that they wanted it back and that they would not make any other decisions about it" until they reviewed it. There wasn?t an insistence that they'd never 4 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012?3669?l Doc No. 0058?8178 Date: 011292016 IED U.S. Department of State Case NO.

Griffiths asked if the family would be okay with CNN at least saying that it had recovered the journal on the site of the attacks and had returned it to the family. Family member: No. After that rejection, Griffiths told the Stevens family member that CNN had transcribed the diary and could pass it along in e-mail'format. The family member declined to share an e-mail address, so the parties agreed that Griffiths would send the text to Reines, who would then forward it on to the Stevens family. Reines ful?lled his middleman role and says he has never glimpsed at the contents of the e-mail; nor has any State Department of?cial had access to it, he says. One clear takeaway from the conference call, says Reines, is CNN's standing on the question of family deference. It was absolute, he says Grif?ths stated that the network would honor the wishes of the family not to mention the journal on air. "There was no other caveat or asterisk," says Reines, whose account was corroborated by two other State Department sources who overheard the conference call. The next step was arranging for Damon to pass the journal along to an Italian diplomat so that it could be delivered back to the family. ?The ?rst order of business was getting this out of CNN's hands, given their behavior and their insensitive interactions with the family," says Reines. Things were quiet until the following week, when Cooper began what Reines called "breathless" coverage alleging that Stevens believed he was on an al-Qaeda hit list. That information, in Cooper's wording, was based on an anonymous source. "They constructed something that allowed them to satisfy their minimal journalistic standards to break their pledge to the family," says Reines. The network differs, saying that it had "multiple sources" for that information. ?Out of respect to the family, we have not quoted from or shown the journal," says a CNN statement. - CNN never apprised anyone in the Stevens family of its plans to mention the journal on air, says Reines, though a CNN source insists that the network tried many times to reach the family after the Sept. 14 conference call, "to no avail." In its statement, CNN gives this explanation for discussing the item on air: "The reason CNN ultimately reported Friday on the existence of the journal was because leaks to media organizations incorrectly suggested CNN had not quickly returned the journal, which we did." Odd bit of reasoning: Did CNN run some material because someone had apparently peddled false rumors to other news outlets? The Wall Street Journal, says Reines, was poking around at this story, asking CNN if it was true that it had come into possession of the Stevens journal. (The Wall Street Journal declined to comment on the matter}. explanation for breaking their promise to the ambassador?s family is that someone was leaking on them, rather than any kind of responsibility to their own standards,? says Reines. "That is hardly a profile in courage." Aside from this noncconside'ration, says Reines, CNN's editorial formulations didn?t change from the moment it spoke with the family to the time that it apprised its viewers of the journal. "The only thing that changed was their integrity," says Reines. Any fair accounting of this dispute must start with an endorsement of industriousness. That a reporter from the network got to the scene and fetched an item that no one else had found speaks well of CNN and its commitment to international reporting. If CNN hadn?t been on the ground, after all, the Stevens famin may never have recovered the journal. That a news organization, and not a U.S. government entity, scored the journal speaks ill of the latter. From there, the story gets more complicated. Journals enjoy an exalted cone of privacy among civilized people: Hands off. UNCLASSIFIED U.S: Department of State Case No. F-2012?3669?l Doc No. 0058?81?8 Date: D?ll2912016 IED US. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. 0058?81?8 Date: U11?29r?2016 That cone shatters, of course, when we're talking about the writings of an ambassador who?s been killed in a high-pro?le attack in a volatile foreign country. Reflections and information in the journal may be of immediate public interest, an imperative that steamrolls any considerations aboUt privacy. Not only was CNN right to read and copy the journal, but also it was obligated by its newsgathering mission to do so, Judging from the record, it's clear that the journal was instrumental in CNN's Wednesday night story about Ambassador Stevens and the al-Qaeda angle. That piece was unflattering to the interests of the State Department, which, after all, is entrusted with protecting its personnel overseas. Is that why State is so upset over this matter? Not at all, says Reines: "The reaction that they are getting [from State] is in response to their lying to the family,? said Reines. A5 to the underlying story about how effectively State protected'its people, Reines responds, "Questions about what happened are legitimate and are being asked and are being reviewed." Now, on to how CNN handled the family of the late ambassador. The network appeared to be leading from behind when it asked for permission to use the journal in its broadcasts - an approach that suggests that the family had veto rights over the material. A more headstrong news organization would have politely told the family that it had recovered this personal effect, had reviewed it and was inclined, to use the material. Had the famiiy objected, CNN could have responded that it would take its wishes into consideration but would issue no guarantees. Says Reines: "Tlf they had Mirandized the family in that phone call . . . I would say 1 disagree and I probably would appealwould disparage them to my'colleagues and would say the media sucks and here?s another example, but I wouldn?t make an argument to them on the law." mm US.

CNN's Anderson Cooper on Wednesday night brought his viewers some big news about the fatal Sept. 11 attacks against the U.S. consulate and nearby annex in Benghazi, Libya. All manner of details on the provenance and circumstances of the assaults that claimed the lives of U.S. Ambassador]. Christopher Stevens and three others have been a unclear or in dispute. So the information that CNN divulged found an eager audience. Here's Cooper: 25 Now, you are looking at the scene just outside the consulate in Benghazi as a pro-American crowd tried to rush Ambassador Stevens, who was wounded, still alive, to the hospital. Tonight, obtains exclusive information about the climate that led up to all ofthis. it A source familiar with Ambassador Stevens? thinking said in the months before his death, he talked about being worried about what he called the never-ending security threats, specifically in Benghazi. The 2- source [is] telling us that the ambassador specifically mentioned the rise in Islamic extremism, the growing aI-Qaeda presence in Libya, and said that he was on an aI-Qaeda hit list. Exclusive, foreign, terrorismrrelated, breaking news that?s so CNN. sThe Web ate the story for breakfast and lunch the next day. On Friday 9 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. Doc No. 005878179 Date: 01f29f2016 IED US. Department of State Case No. F?2012?3669?l Doc No. 0058781?9 Date: O1f29f2016 night, Cooper returned to the topic of Stevens, this time with more compelling stuff: . a The information for [Wednesday?s] report, iike all of CNN's raporting, was carefully vetted. Some of that information was found in a personal 3- journal of Ambassador Stevens in his handwriting. We Came upon the journal through our reporting and notified the family. :a At their request, we returned that journal to them. We reported what we found newsworthy in the ambassador?s writings. Our reporting followed up on what we found newsworthy, as i said, in the ambassador?s writings. 23 2- Those are six very heavy sentences. And there?s an extensive story behind them, as the Wall Street Journal and the Huf?ngton Post repurted on Saturday. The family of the late ambassador had requested that CNN not issue any reports based on the journal - or even reference its existence a before the family consented. CNN agreed to abide by the family?s wishes, according to Philippe Reines, a State Department spokesman who listened in on a conference call between a CNN executive and a representative of the Stevens family. 2* State and CNN have spent a good part of the weekend trading nasty words on the spat. The length of this State Department tract alone makes clearjust how peeved its leadership is: Given the truth of how this was handled, CNN patting themselves on the back is disgusting. What they're not owning up to is reading and transcribing Chris?s diary well before bothering to tell the famin or anyone else that they took it from the site of the attack. Or that when they ?nally did tell them, they completely ignored the wishes of the family, and ultimately broke their pledge made to them only hours after they witnessed the return to the Unites States of Chris?s remains. Whose first instinct is to remove from a crime scene the diary of a a man killed along with three other Americans serving our country, read it, transcribe it, email it around your newsroom for others to read, >.and only when their Curiosity is fully satis?ed thinks to call the family or notify the authorities? 3! When a junior person at CNN called, they didn't say, 'Hello, I know this is a terrible time, but I'm sure you want your son's diary, where a do you want it sent?? They instead took the Opportunity to ask the family if CNN could report on its contents. Contents known only to Chris Stevens, and those at CNN who had already invaded his privacy. 2? When the seniormost levels of CNN were ?nally reached, they needed to be convinced to do the right thing. But not before'they took a second 2-: shot at convincing the family to let them report on the contents. A family member made it clear directly to CNN that they wanted Chris?s diary and would not make any other decisions until then. But a that wasn?t fast enough for CNN, so they helpfully offered to send the family the transcript they?d already made and passed around, to put a rush on it for their own purposes. 10 UNCLASSIFIED US. Department of State Case No. F-2012?3669?l Doc No. Date: 0129:2016 IED US. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. 005878179 Date: 01f29r2016 It was then made clear to them, for what must have been the fourth time in the same call, that they wanted to look at it privately, together as a family before making any decisions. Period. CNN finally heard their request enough times that they had to accept it, agreed to :v abide by the clear wishes of the Stevens family, and pledged not to use the diary or even allude to its existence until hearing back from the family. But the Stevens family was never given that chance. I guess four days was as long as CNN could control themselves, so they just went ahead and used it. Entirely because they felt like it. Anderson Cooper didn't even bother to offer any other explanation as to why the network broke its promise to the family. And only did so after being contacted by a reporter asking about the diary and their convoluted sourcing. How do they justify that? They have yet to even try to defend the indefensible. Not a proud episode in CNN's history. I?m sure there are many good people in the CNN newsroom equally appalled by this decision and wondering who above them authorized this course of action. And CNN: '3 We think the public had a right to know what CNN had learned from multiple sources about the fears and warnings of a terror threat 2? before the Benghazi attack which are now raising questions about why 3- the State Department didn?t do more to protect Ambassador Stevens and other US. personnel. Perhaps the real question here is why is the State Department now attacking the messenger. a In sum, an extraordinary disagreement between this coontry?s foreign~po icy shop and one of its more aggressive agents of foreign a reportage. it all stems from the unique circumstances that unraveled on Sept: 11. The attacks on the consulate and annex were severe enough that the State Department evacuated all U.S. personnel from the compound, leaving, in effect, an unsecured crime scene. A full three days after the attack, CNN senior international correspondent Arwa Damon found Stevens? journal at the site of the Benghazi consulate, according to Reines. Reines found but about the journal not long after a "return of remains? a ceremony for Ambassador Stevens and the other victims at Andrews Air Force Base on Friday, Sept. 14. He received a call from State's protocol office alerting him that someone from CNN had called the Stevens family with the news that they'd recovered the ambassado?s journal. To request to report on its contents, the family member responded in the negative. 2" The Stevens family wanted State's help, so Reines got in touch with a 2: Stevens family member who confirmed the story for him. Now Reines wanted to chat with CNN, so he emailed the woman CNN staffer Meredith Edwards who?d repertedly contacted the Stevens family. No reply. Next on the list was Mark Whitaker, a ranking CNN news executive. Reines asked Whitaker whether the story he'd heard was 11 US. Department of State Case No. DOC No. 005378179 Date: 01f29f2016 IED us. Department of State Case No. F-2012-3669?i Doc No. Date: 01f29f2016 accurate. Whitaker con?rmed the gist of things but wasn't forthcoming, recalls Reines: "He was clearly sheepish and defensive from the beginning,? says Reines. "He said, 'We're talking to our Iawyers.? And i said, 'Mark, if you're talking to your lawyers, then you know you?re on shaky ground.? 3' That call was merely a prelude to more calls. Later that Friday, Reines chatted with Richard Grif?ths, a key CNN editorial official a? who con?rmed possession of the Stevens diary and explained that the late ambassador had procured it in Stockholm and had started writing in it on his last holiday. Reines discussed getting Grif?ths on the line with the Stevens family to hash out the affair.

All manner of details on the provenance and circumstances of the assaults that claimed the lives of U.S. Ambassador J. ChristOpher Stevens and three others have been unclear or in dispute. So the information that CNN divulged found an eager audience. Here?s Cooper: 2! Now, you are looking at the scene just outside the consulate in Benghazivas a pro-American crowd tried to rush Ambassador Stevens, who was wounded, still alive, to the hospital: Tonight, obtains exclusive information about the climate that led up to all of this. a A source familiar with Ambassador Stevens' thinking said in the months before his death, he talked about being worried about what he called a the never-ending security threats, speci?cally in Benghazi.

Our reporting followed up on what we found newsworthy, as I said, in the ambassadors writings. Those are six very heavy sentences. And there's an extensive story behind them, as the Wall Street Journal and the Huf?ngton Post reported on Saturday. s'The family of the late ambassador had requested that CNN not issue any 2- reports based on the journal or even reference its existence before the family consented. CNN agreed to abide by the family's wishes, according to Philippe Reines, a State Department spokesman who listened in on a conference call between a CNN executive and a representative of the Stevens family. 3' Stateand CNN have spent a good part of the weekend trading nasty 3' words on the spat.

But that wasn't fast enough for CNN, so they helpfully offered to send the a? family the transcript they'd already made and passed around, to put a rush on it for their own purposes.

CNN ?nally heard their request enough times that they had to accept it, agreed to abide by the clear wishes of the Stevens family, and pledged not to use the diary or even allude to its existence until hearing back from the family. 3' But the Stevens family was never given that chance. I guess four days was as long as CNN could control themselves, so they just went ahead and used it. Entirely because they felt like it. Anderson Cooper didn?t even bother to offer any other explanation as to why the network broke its promise to the family. And only did so after being contacted by a reporter a asking about the diary and their convoluted sourcing. a How do they justify that? They have yet to even try to defend the indefensible. Not a proud episode in CNN's history. I'm sure there are many good people in the CNN newsroom equally appalled by this decision a and wondering who above them authorized this course of action. 3' And CNN: 27 . We think the public had a right to know what CNN had learned from multiple sources about the fears and warnings of a terror threat a before the Benghazi attack which are now raising questions about why the State Department didn?t do more to protect Ambassador Stevens and . other U.S. personnel. Perhaps the real question here is why is the State Department now attacking the messenger. In sum, an extraordinary disagreement between this country?s foreign-policy shop and one of its more aggressive agents of foreign reportage. It all stems from the unique circumstances that unraveled on Sept. 11. The attacks on the consulate and annex were severe enough that-the State Department evacuated all US. personnel from the compbund, leaving, in effect, an unsecured crime scene. A full three days after the attack, CNN senior international correspondent Arwa Damon found Stevens? journal at the site of the Benghazi consulate, according to Reines. Reines found out about the journal not long after a "return of remains? ceremony for Ambassador Stevens and the other victims at Andrews Air Force Base on Friday, Sept. 14. He received a call from State's protocol office alerting him that someone from CNN had called the Stevensfamily with the news that they'd recovered the ambassador?s journal. To request to report on its contents, the family member responded in the negative. 3- The Stevens family wanted State's help, so Reines got in touch with a Stevens family member who con?rmed the story for him. Now Reines wanted to chat with CNN, so he e-mailed the woman CNN staffer 2? Meredith Edwards who?d reportedly contacted the Stevens family. No a reply. Next on the list was Mark Whitaker, a ranking CNN news executive. Reinesasked Whitaker whether the story he?d heard was :r accurate. Whitaker confirmed the gist of things but wasn?t 19 U.S. Department of State Case No. F-201Z36691 Doc No. (305878180 Date: 011299016 IED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012?3669?l Doc No. Date: 01i'29f2016 forthcoming, recalls Reines: ?He was clearly sheepish and defensive from the beginning," says Reines. "He said, 'We?re talking to our lawyers.? And I said, 'Mark, if you're talking to your lawyers, then you know you?re on shaky ground.? 3 That call was merely a prelude to more calls. Later that Friday, Reines chatted with Richard Griffiths, a key CNN editorial of?cial who confirmed possession of the Stevens diary and explained that the late ambassador had procured it in Stockholm and had started writing in it on his last holiday. Reines discussed getting Grif?ths on the line with the Stevens family a to hash out the affair. Griffiths then told Reines how he'd pitch the family: That the journal provided a beautiful window into Stevens?s character and dedication to his work and that they'd like permission to 'go ahead and use it on air. It In 3 Subsequent conference call with the family and State officials, CNN's Grif?ths ?regurgitated? the script, Reines says. The family 3 member listened and said no. i-?ieines: "The family member thoughtfully and clearly told Griffiths that this was Chris?s personal property and that they believed it was their personal property now, that they z: wanted it back and that they would not make any other decisions about? it? until they reviewed it. There wasn?t an insistence that they?d never bless its use, nor an indication that they would just a preference that they jointly take a look at the contents before making any decisions. 3 Grif?ths asked if the family would be okay with CNN at least saying that it had recovered the journal on the site of the attacks and had a returned it to the family. Family member: No. After that rejection, Grif?ths told the Stevens family member that CNN had transcribed the diary and could pass it along in e-mail format. The family member declined to share an e-mail address, so the parties agreed that Griffiths would send the text to Reines, who would then forward it on to the Stevens family. Reines fulfilled his middleman role and says he has never glimpsed at the contents of the e-mail; nor has any State Department of?cial had access to it. he says. . . One clear takeaway from the conference call, says Reines, is standing on the question of family deference. It was absolute, he says Grif?ths stated that the network would honor the wishes of the family not to mention the journal on air. "There was no other caveat or asterisk," says Reines, whose account was corroborated by two other State Department sources who overheard the conference call. 3: The next step was arranging for Damon to pass the journal along to an Italian diplomat so that it could be delivered back to the family. "The ?rst order of business was getting this out of hands, given their behavior and their insensitive interactions with the family," says Reines. 3* Things were quiet until the following week, when Cooper began what Reines called "breathless" coverage alleging that Stevens believed he was on an al-Qaeda hit list. That information, in Cooper?s wording, was based on an anonymous source. "They constructed something that 20 US. Department of State Case No. Doc: No. Date: 01292016 IED U.S. Department of State Case No. Doc No. 00587?8180 Date: O?lf29f2016 allowed them to satisfy their minimal journalistic standards to break their pledge to the family,? says Reines. The network diffErs, saying that it had "multiple sources" for that information. "Out of respect to the family, we have not quoted from or shown the journal,? says a CNN statement. . 2: CNN never apprised anyone in the Stevens family of its plans to mention the journal on air, says Reines, though a CNN source insists that the network tried many times to reach the family after the Sept. 14 conference call, "to no avail." in its statement, CNN gives this explanation for discussing the item on air: The reason CNN ultimately reported Friday on the existence of the journal was because leaks to media organizations incorrectly suggested 2- CNN had not quickly returned the jaurnal, which we did. Odd bit of reasoning: Did CNN run some material because someone had 2- apparently peddled false rumors to other news outlets? The Wall Street Journal, says Reines, was poking around at this story, asking CNN if it was true that it had come into possession of the Stevens journal. {The Wall Street Journal declined to comment on the matter). 3? explanation for breaking their promise to the ambassadors family is that someone was leaking on them, rather than any kind of responsibility to their own standards.? says Reines. "That is hardly a profile in courage." Aside from this non-consideration, says Reines, editorial 7: formulations.didn't change from the moment it spoke with the family to the time that it apprised its viewers of the journal. "The only thing a that changed was their integrity," says Reines. Any fair accounting of this dispute must start with an endorsement of CNN's industriousness. That a reporter from the network got to the scene and fetched an item that no one else?hadfound speaks we" Of CNN and its commitment to international reporting. If CNN hadn?t been on the ground, after all, the Stevens family may never have recovered the journal. That a news organization, and not a U.S. government entity, scored the journal speaks ill of the latter. From there, the story gets more complicated. Journals enjoy an exalted a? cone of privacy among civilized people: Hands off. That cone shatters, of course, when we're talking about the writings of an ambassador who?s been killed in a high-pro?le attack in a volatile foreign country. Reflections and information in the journal may be of immediate public interest, an imperative that steamrolls any considerations about privacy. Not only was CNN right to read and copy the journal, but also it was obligated by its newsgathering mission to do so. 3* Judging from the record, it's clear that the journal was instrumental in CNN's Wednesday night story about Ambassador Stevens and the al-Claeda angle. That piece was unflattering to the interests of the State Department, whichbafter all, is entrusted with protecting its 21 UNCLASSIFIED US.

Is that why State is so upset over this matter? Not at all, says Reines: "The reaction that they are getting [from State] is in response to their lying to the family,? said Reines. As to the underlying story about how effectively State protected its a people, Reines responds, "Questions about what happened are legitimate and are being asked and are being reviewed.? Now, on to how CNN handled the famity of the late ambassador. The network appeared to be leading from behind when it asked for permission to use the journal in its broadcasts an approach that suggests that the family had veto rights over the material. A more headstrong news organization would have politely told the family that it had recovered this personal effect, had reviewed it and was inclined to use the material. Had the family objected, CNN could have a responded that it would take its wishes into consideration but would issue no guarantees. Says Reines: "if they had Mirandized the family in that phone call . . . i would say I disagree and I probably would appealwould disparage them to my colleagues and would say the media sucks and here's another example, but i wouldn?t make an argument to them on the law." 1* mm 22 UNCLASSIFIED US.

CNN vs. the State Department: A_Long Story-By Erik Wemple The Washington Post Posted at 02:37 PM ET, CNN's Anderson Cooper on Wednesday night brought his viewers some big news about the fatal Sept. 11 attacks against the U.S. consulate and nearby annex in Benghazi, Libya. All manner of details on the provenance and circumstances of the assaults that claimed the lives of U.S. Ambassador 1. Christopher Stevens and three others have been unclear or in dispute. So the information that CNN divulged found an eager audience. Here?s Cooper: "Now, you are looking at the scene just outside the consulate in Benghazi as a pro-American crowd tried to rush Ambassador Stevens, who was wounded, still alive, to the hospital. Tonight, obtains exclusive information about the climate that led up to all of this. A somce familiar with Ambassador Stevens' thinking said in the months before his death, he talked about being worried about what he called the never-ending security threats, specifically in Benghazi. The source [is] telling us that the ambassador speci?cally mentioned the rise in Islamic extremism, the growing al-Qaeda presence in Libya, and said that he was on an al-Qaeda hit list." Exclusive, foreign, terrorism~related, breaking news that's so CNN. The Web ate the story for breakfast and lunch the next day. On Friday night, Cooper returned to the topic of Stevens, this time with more compelling stuff: "The information for [Wednesday?s] report, like all of reporting, was carefully vetted. Some of that infurmation was found in a personal journal of Ambassador Stavens in his handwriting. We came upon the journal through our reporting and noti?ed the family.

As to the underlying story about how effectively State protected its people, Reines responds, "Questions about what happened are legitimate and are being asked and are being reviewed." Now, on to how CNN handled the family of the late ambassador. The network appeared to be leading from behind when it asked for permission to use the journal in its broadcasts an approach that suggests that the family had veto rights over the material. A more headstrong news organization would have politer told the family that it had recovered this personal effect, had reviewed it and was inclined to use the material. Had the family objected, CNN could have responded that it would take its wishes into consideration but would issue no guarantees. Says Reines: ?If they had Mirandized the family in that phone call . . . I would say i disagree and I probably would appealwould disparage them to my c_olleagues and would say the media sucks and here?s another example, but I wouldn't make an argument to them on the law." arm 29 UNCLASSIFIED US.

Excuse the intrusion on your Sunday, but I've heard from more than half of you or the media outlets you represent asking for reaction to a CNN's atrocious behavior in the handling of Ambassador Stevens's diary, as originally reported by The Wall Street Journal, and expanded on by The Washington Post just a little while ago. I continue to hear from many of you still trying to comprehend why CNN 9 did what they did, so I just want to bring everyone up to speed at once. I also know that to many of you, this is not simply a 'story' as you 2-.- knew or worked with Chris, and find this as distasteful as everyone :7 here at State does. 3' . I'm more than happy to send my existing statement. But I want to wait a in case CNN issues another excuse of the day in order to address it. I'm struggling to keep up with them since they are clearly having a hard time settling on a single credible explanation that gets them off the hook for lying to the family. They keep changing their tune, issuing inadequate, confusing, and conflicting explanations, offering four in as many days, some on air, some by paper. Even as type I'm a hearing they're trying on a new one for size, peddling that the family didn't really understand what CNN said to them. Never mind that there were five people on the call that CNN is claiming four people misunderstood. So once they ?nally get their latest story straight and stick to it, I'll follow up with you all. Not sure that will be anytime soon since it's clear they don't know how to explain, let alone justify their actions. And I'm certainly not going to hold my breath until someone is held accountable.

Department of State Case No. Doc No. C058781BT Date: O?lf29i?2016 US. Department of Slate Case No. Doc No. Date: 011292016 a Washington Post Posted at 02:3? PM ET, 09/23/2012 . CNN's Anderson Cooper on Wednesday night brought his viewers some big a news about the fatal Sept. 11 attacks against the U.S. consulate and a nearby annex in Benghazi, Libya. All manner of details on the provenance and circumstances of the assaults that claimed the lives of a U5. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others have been a unclear or in dispute. So the information that CNN divulged found an eager audience. Here's Cooper: is Now, you are looking at the scene just outside the consulate in Benghazi as a pro-American crowd tried to rush Ambassador Stevens, who was wounded, still alive, to the hospital. Tonight, obtains exclusive information about the climate that led up to all of this. a A source familiar with Ambassador Stevens? thinking said in the months before his death, he talked about being worried about what he called the never-ending security threats, speci?cally in Benghazi. The source {is} telling us that the ambassador specifically mentioned the 3- rise in Islamic extremism, the growing al-Qaeda presence in Libya, and said that he was on an al-Qaeda hit list. Exclusive, foreign, terrorism-related, breaking news that?s so CNN. The Web ate the story for breakfast and lunch the next day. On Friday night, Cooper returned to the topic of Stevens, this time with more compelling stuff: The information for [Wednesday's] report, like all of reporting, was carefully vetted. Some of that information was found in a personal journal of Ambassador Stevens in his handwriting. We came upon the journal through our reporting and noti?ed the family. r: At their request, we returned thatjournal to them. We reported what a we found newsworthy in the ambassador?s writings. Our reporting 3: followed up on what we found newsworthy, as I said, in the ambassador?s writings. Those?are six very heavy sentences. And there's an extensive story behind them, as the Wall Street Journal and the Huf?ngton Post reported on Saturday. The family of the late ambassador had requested that CNN not issue any reports based on the journal or even reference its existence before the family consented. CNN agreed to abide by the family's wishes, according to Philippe Reines, a State Department spokeSman who listened in on a conference call between a CNN executive and a representative of the Stevens family. a? a State and CNN have spent a good part of the weekend trading nasty words on the spat. The length of this State Department tract alone a makes ciear just how peeved its Ieadership is: Given the truth of how this was handled, CNN patting themselves on the back is disgusting. What they?re not owning up to is reading and transcribing Chris?s diary well before bothering to tell the family or anyone else that they took it from the site of the attack. Or that when they ?nally 32 UNCLASSIFIED US. Department of State Case No. Doc No. 00587818? Date: 011292016 5 8 7 8 8 7 U.S. Department of State Case No. Doc No. 00587818? Date: 01f29f2016 ?9 did tell them, they completely ignored the wishes of the family, and ultimately broke their pledge made to them only hours after they a witnessed the return to the Unites States of Chris?s remains. Whose first instinct islto remove from a crime scene the diary of a man killed along with three other Americans sewing our country, read it, transcribe it, email it around your newsroom for others to read, and only when their curiosity is fully satisfied thinks to call the family or notify the authorities? :1 a When a junior person at CNN called, they didn't say, 'Hello, i know this is a terrible time, but I'm sure you want your son's diary, where a do you want it sent?? They instead took the opportunity to ask the 2- family if CNN could report on its contents. Contents known only to Chris Stevens, and those at CNN who had already invaded his privacy. 2: When the seniormost levels of CNN were ?nally reached, they needed to be convinced to do the right thing. But not before they took a second 2- shot at convincing the family to let them report on the contents. A family member made it clear directly to CNN that they wanted Chris's diary and would not make any other decisions until then. But a that wasn't fast enough for CNN, so they helpfully offered to send the a family the transcript they?d already made and passed around,' to put a rush on it for their own purposes. to It was then made clear to them, for what must have been the fourth time in the same call, that they wanted to look at it privately, together as a family before making any decisions. Period. CNN finally heard their request enough times that they had to accept it, agreed to abide by the clear wishes of the Stevens family, and pledged not to use the diary or even allude to its existence until hearing back from the family. But the Stevens family was never given that chance. I guess four days was as long as CNN could control themselves, so they just went ahead and used it. a Entirely because they felt like it. Anderson Cooper didn?t even bother to offer any other explanation as to why the network broke its promise to the family. And only did so after being contacted by a reporter a asking about the diary and their convoluted sourcing. 3 How do they justify that? They have yet to even try to defend the a indefensible. Not a proud episode in history. l'm sure there are many good people in the CNN newsroom equally appalled by this decision a and wondering who above them authorized this course of action. 3) And CNN: We think the public had a right to know what CNN had learned from a multiple sources about the fears and warnings of a terror threat before the Benghazi attack which are now raising questions about why a the State Department didn't do more to protect Ambassador Stevens and other U.S. personnel. Perhaps the real question here is why is the State Department now attacking the massenger. in sum, an extraordinary disagreement between this country's 33 UNCLASSIFIED US.

It all stems from the unique circumstances that unraveled on Sept. 11. The attacks on the consulate and annex were severe enough that the State Department evacuated all U.S. personnel from the compound, leaving, in effect, an unseCured crime scene. it A full three days after the attack, CNN senior international correspondent Arwa Damon found Stevens? jaurnal at the site of the Benghazi consulate, according to Reines. 3' Reines found out about the journal not long after a ?return of remains? ceremony for Ambassador Stevens and the other_victims at Andrews Air Force Base on Friday, Sept. 14. He received a call from State?s 2: protocol office alerting him that someone from CNN had called the Stevens family with the news that they'd recovered the ambassadors a: journal. To CNN's request to report on its contents, the family member responded in the negative. 1" The Stevens family wanted State's help, so Reines got in touch with a Stevens family member who confirmed the story for him. Now Reines wanted to chat with CNN, so he emailed the woman CNN staffer Meredith Edwards who'd reportedly contacted the Stevens family. No 2- reply. Next on the list was Mark Whitaker, a ranking CNN news executive. Reines asked Whitaker whether the story he?d heard was acmrate. Whitaker confirmed the gist ofthings but wasn?t . - forthcoming, recalls Reines: "He was clearly sheepish and defensive from the beginning," says Reines. "He said, 'We?re talking to our lawyers.? And I said, 'Mark, if you?re talking to your lawyers, then you know 2? you?re on shaky ground.? That call was merely a prelude to more calls. Later that Friday, Reines chatted with Richard Grif?ths, a key CNN editorial of?cial who confirmed possession of the Stevens diary and explained that the 3? late ambassador had procured it in Stockholm and had started writing in it on his last holiday. Reines discussed getting Grif?ths on the line with the Stevens family a? to hash out the affair. Griffiths then told Reines how he'd pitch the a family: That the journal provided a beautiful window into Stevens?s character and dedication to his work and that they?d like permission to go ahead and use it on air. in a subsequent conference call with the family and State of?cials, CNN's Grif?ths "regurgitated" the script, Reines says. The family member listened and said no. Reines: ?The family member thoughtfully and clearly told Griffiths that this was Chris?s personal property and that they believed it was their personal property now, that they wanted it back and that they would not make any other decisions about or it" until they reviewed it. There wasn?t an insistence that they?d never bless its use, nor an indication that they would - iust a preference that they jointly take a look at the contents before making any'decisions. Griffiths asked if the family would be okay with CNN at least saying a? that it had recovered the journal on the site of the attacks and had returned it to the family. Family member: No. )5 34 US.

After that rejection, Griffiths told the Stevens family member that . CNN had transcribed the diary and could pass it along in e-mail format. The family member declined to share an e?mail address, so the 3- parties agreed that Grif?ths would send the text to Reines, who would then forward it on to the Stevens family. Reines ful?lled his - middleman role and says he has never glimpsed at the contents of the e-mail; nor has any State Department official had access to it, he says. . One clear takeaway from the conference call, says Reines, is a standing on the question of family deference. It was absolute, he says Grif?ths stated that the network would honor the wishes of the family not to mention the journal on air. "There was no other caveat 3- or asterisk,? says Reines, whose account was corroborated by two other State Department sourceswho overheard the conference call. The next step was arranging for Damon to pass the journal along to an Italian diplomat so that it could be delivered back to the family. a: "The first order of business was getting this out of hands, given their behavior and their insensitive interactions with the family," says Reines. 1: Things were quiet until the following week, when Cooper began what Reines called "breathless" coverage alleging that Stevens believed he 2: was on an al-Qaeda hit list. That information, in Cooper's wording, was based on an anonymous saurce. "they constructed something that I allowed them to satisfy their minimal journalistic standards to break their pledge to the family," says Reines. The network differs, saying that it had "multiple sources" for that information. "But of respect to the family, we have not quoted from or 3- shown the jaurnal," says a CNN statement. as 1: CNN never apprised anyone in the Stevens family of its plans to mention the journal on air, says Reines, though a CNN source insists that the network tried many times to reach the family after the Sept. 3- 14 conference call, "to no avail." In its statement, CNN gives this explanation for discussing the itEm on air: The reason CNN ultimately reported Friday on the existence of the journal was because leaks to media organizations incorrectly suggested :r CNN had not quickly returned the journal, which we did. :s Odd bit of reasoning: Did CNN run some material because someone had apparently paddled false rumors to other news outlets? The Wall Street Journal, says Reines, was poking around at this story, asking CNN if it was true that it had come into possession of the Stevens journal. (The Wall Street Journal declined to comment on the matter). explanation for breaking their promise to the ambassador's family is that someone was leaking on them, rather than any kind of responsibility to their own standards," says Reines. ?That is hardly a pro?le in courage.? Aside from this non-consideration, says Reines, CNN's editorial formulations didn?t change from the moment it spoke with the family to 35 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-3669?l Doc No. Date: 0112322016 C05 8 7 8 1 8 7 IED US.

"The only thing that changed was their integrity," says Reines. . a Any fair accounting of this dispute must start with an endorsement of industriousness. That a reporter from the network got to the 2- scene and fetched an item that no one else had found speaks well of CNN and its commitment to international reporting. If CNN hadn't been on the ground, after all, the Stevens family may never have recovered the journal. That a news organization, and not a US. government entity. scored the journal speaks ill of the latter. it a From there, the story gets more complicated. Journals enjoy an exalted cone of privacy among civilized people: Hands off. That cone shatters, of course, when we're talking about the writings of an ambassador who's been killed in a high-pro?le attack in a a volatile foreign country. Reflections and information in the journal may be of immediate public interest, an imperative that steamrolls any a considerations about privacy. Not only was CNN right to read and copy 1- the journal, but also it was obligated by its newsgathering mission to do so. 23' 1? Judging from the record, it?s clear that the journal was instrumental in Wednesday night story about Ambassador Stevens and the aI-Qaeda angle. That piece was un?attering to the interests of the State Department, which, after all, is entrusted with protecting its a personnel overseas. Is that why State is so upset over this matter? Not at all, says Reines: ?The reaction that they are getting [from State] is in response to their lying to the family," said Reines.

Christopher Stevens and three others have been unclear or in dispute. So the information that CNN divulged found an eager audience. Here?s Cooper: 3' Now, you are looking at the scene just outside the consulate in Benghazi as a pro-American crowd tried to rush Ambassador Stevens, who was wounded, still alive, to the hospital. Tonight, obtains exclusive information about the climate that led up to all of this. a A source familiar with Ambassador Stevens' thinking said in the months a before his death, he talked about being worried about what he called the never-ending security threats, specifically in Benghazi. The source [is] telling us that the ambassador Specifically mentioned the rise in Islamic extremism, the growing al-Qaeda presence in?Libya, and said that he was on an al-Ciaeda hit list. Exclusive, foreign, terrorism-related, breaking news that's so CNN. The Web ate the story for breakfast and lunch the next day. On Friday night, Cooper returned to the topic of Stevens, this time with more compelling stuff: y. The information for [Wednesday?s] report, like all of CNN's reporting, a was carefully vetted. Some of that information was found in a personal journal of Ambassador Stevens in his handwriting. We came upon the 3- journal through our reporting and noti?ed the family. At their request, we returned that journal to them. We reported what we found newsworthy in the ambassador-'5 writings. Our reporting followed up on what we found newsworthy, as I said, in the ambassador?s writings. Those are six very heavy sentences. And there's an extensive story behind them, as the Wall Street Journal and the Huf?ngton Post reported on Saturday. a The family of thelate ambassador had requested that CNN not issue any reports based on the journal or even reference its existence before the family consented. CNN agreed to abide by the family's a wishes, according to Philippe Reines, a State Department spokesman who listened in on a conference call between a CNN executive and a representative of the Stevens family. 2? State and CNN have spent a good part of the weekend trading nasty words on the spat. The length of this State Department tract alone makes clear just how peeved its leadership is: 3. Given the truth of how this was handled, CNN patting themselves on the back is disgusting. . What they?re not owning up to is reading and transcribing Chris's diary well before bothering to tell the family or anyone else that they took it from the site of the attack.

When a junior person at CNN called, they didn?t say, ?Hello, I know this is a terrible time, but I?m sure you want your son?s diary, where do you want it sent?? They instead took the opportunity to ask the a family if CNN could report on its contents. Contents known only to Chris Stevens, and those at CNN who had already invaded his privacy. When the seniormost levels of CNN were ?nally reached, they needed to be convinced to do the right thing. But not before they took a second shot at convincing the family to let them report on the contents. A family member made it clear directly to CNN that they wanted Chris?s diary and would not make any other decisions until then. But that wasn?t fast enough for CNN, so they helpfully offered to send the 3? family the transcript they?d already made and passed around, to put a rush on it for their own purposes. it It was then made clear to them, for what must have been the fourth time in the same call, that they wanted to look at it privately, together as a family before making any decisions. Period. CNN ?nally a heard their request enough times that they had to accept it, agreed to abide by the clear wishes of the Stevens family, and pledged not to use the diary or even allude to its existence until hearing back from the family. But the Stevens family was never given that chance. I guess four days was as long as CNN could control themselves, so they just went ahead and used it. Entirely because they felt like it. Anderson Cooper didn?t even bother to offer any other explanation as to why the network broke its promise to the family. And only did so after being contacted by a reperter asking about the diary and their canvoluted sourcing. How do theyjustify that? They have yet to even try to defend the indefensible. Not a proud episode in CNN's history. I'm sure there are a many good people in the CNN newsroom equally appalled by this decision 1: and wondering who above them authorized this course of action. .5 And CNN: 2) . We think the public had a right to know what CNN had learned from a multiple sources about the fears and warnings of a terror threat a before the Benghazi attack which are now raising questions about why the State Department didn?t do more to protect Ambassador Stevens and other U.S. personnel.

Now Reines 2? wanted to chat with CNN, so he e-rnailed the woman CNN staffer Meredith Edwards who?d reportedly contacted the Stevens family. No reply.

The family member listened and said no.

Reines ful?lled his middleman role and says he has never glimpsed at the contents of the e-mail; nor has any State Department official had access to it, he says. One clear takeaway from the conference call, says Reines, is standing on the question of family deference.

"There was no other caveat or asterisk," says Reines, whose account was corroborated by two other State Department sources who overheard the conference call. 3' The next step was arranging for Damon to pass the journal along to an Italian diplomat so that it could be deiivered back to the family. ?The first order of business was getting this out of hands, a? given their behavior and their insensitive interactions with the family," says Reines. Things were quiet until the following week, when Cooper began what a Reines called "breathless" coverage alleging that Stevens believed he was on an ai-Qaeda hit list.

"That is hardly a pro?le in courage."

That a reporter from the network got to the 3- scene and fetched an item that no one else had found speaks well of CNN and its commitment to international reporting. If CNN hadn?t been on the ground, after all, the Stevens family may never have recovered the journal. That a news organization, and not a U.S. government entity, scored the journal speaks ill of the latter. From there, the story gets more complicated. Journals enjoy an exalted cone of privacy among civilized people: Hands off. . That cone shatters, of course, when we?re talking about the writings of an ambassador who?s been killed in a high-pro?le attack in a volatile foreign country. Reflections and information in the journal may be of immediate public interest, an imperative that steamrolls any considerations about privacy. Not only was CNN right to read and copy the journal, but also it was obligated by its newsgathering mission to do so. Judging from the record, it?s clear that the journal was instrumental in CNN's Wednesday night story about Ambassador Stevens and the al-Qaeda angle. That piece was unflattering to the interests of the State Department, which, after all, is entrusted with protecting its personnel overseas. Is that why State is so upset over this matter? 3- Not at all, says Reines: "The reaction that they are getting [from State] is in response to their lying to the family," said Reines. As to the underlying story about how effectively State protected its people, Reines respOnds, "Questions about what happened are legitimate and are being asked and are being reviewed.? 3? Now, on to how CNN handled the family of the late ambassador. The network appeared to be leading from. behind when it asked for a permission to use the journal in its broadcasts an approach that 2- suggests that the family had veto rights over the material. A more headstrong news organization would have politely'told the family that a it had recovered this personal effect, had reviewed it and was inclined to use the material. Had the family objected, CNN could have responded that it would take its wishes into consideration but would a issue no guarantees. Says Reines: "If they had Mirandized the family 2? in that phone call . . . I would say I disagree and I probably would appealwould disparage them to my colleagues and would say the media sucks and here's another example, but I wouldn?t make an argument to them on the law.? ##it 53 UNCLASSIFIED US.

Aside from this non~consideration, says Heines, editorial formulations didn't change from the moment it spoke with the family to the time that it apprised its viewers of the journal. "The only thing that changed was their integrity," says Reines. Any fair accounting of this dispute must start with an endorsement of CNN's industriousness. That a reporter from the network got to the scene and fetched an item that no one else had feund speaks well of CNN and its commitment to international reporting. If CNN hadn?t been on the ground, after all, the Stevens family may never have recovered the journal. That a news organization, and not a U.S. government entity. scored the journal speaks ill of the latter. 57 US.

Department of State Case No. Doc No. (305878194 Date: 012292016 From there, the story gets more complicated. Journals enjoy an exalted cone of privacy among civilized people: Hands off. That cone shatters, of course, when we?re talking about the writings of an ambassador who?s been killed in a high-profile attack in a volatile foreign country. Re?ections and information in the journal may be of immediate public interest, an imperative that steamrolls any considerations about privacy. Not only was CNN right to read and copy the journai, but also it was obligated by its newsgathering mission to do so. Judging from the record, it's clear that the journal was instrumental in Wednesday night story about Ambassador Stevens and the ai-Qaeda angle. That piece was un?attering to the interests of the State Department, which, after all, is entrusted with protecting its personnel overseas. Is that why State is so upset over this matter? Not at all, says Reines: "The reaction that they are getting [from State] is in response to their lying to the family," said Reines. As to the underlying stery about how effectively State protected its people, Reines responds, "Questions about what happened are legitimate and are being asked and are being reviewed." Now, on to how CNN handled the family of the late ambassador. The network appeared to be leading from behind when it asked for permission to use the journal in its broadcasts an approach that suggests that the family had veto rights over the material. A more headstrong news organization would have politely told the family that it had recovered this personal effect, had reviewed it and was inclined to use the material. Had the family objected, CNN could have responded that it would take its wishes into consideration but would issue no guarantees. Says Reines: "If they had Mirandized the famiiy in that phone call . . . I would say I disagree and I probably would appealwould disparage them to my colleagues and would say the media sucks and here?s another example, but I wouldn?t make an argument to them on the law.?

Journals enjoy an exalted cone of privacy people: Hands off. That cone shatters, of course, when we?re talking about the writings of an ambassador who?s been killed in a high-pro?le attack in a volatile foreign country. Re?ections and information in the journal a may be of immediate public interest, an imperative that steamrolls any considerations about privacy. Not only was CNN right to read and copy the journal, but also it was obligated by its newsgathering mission to do so. Judging from the record, it?s clear that the journal was instrumental in Wednesday night story about Ambassador Stevens and the 6 UNCLASSIFIED US.

Not at all, says Reines: ?The reaction that they are getting [from State] is in response to their lying to the family," said Reines. As to the underlying story about how effectively State protected its people, Reines reSponds, "Questions about what happened are legitimate and are being asked and are being reviewed." Now, on to how CNN handled the family of the lateambassador. The network appeared to be leading from behind when it asked for permission to use the journal in its broadcasts an approach that suggests that the family had veto rights over the material.

CNN vs. the State Department: A Long Story By Erik Wample The Washington Post Posted at 02:37 PM ET, 09/23/2012 Anderson Cooper on Wednesday night brought his viewers some big news about the fatal Sept. 11 attacks against the U.S. consulate and nearby annex in Benghazi, Libya. All manner of details on the provenance and circumstances of the assaults that claimed the lives of US. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others have been unclear or in dispute. So the information that CNN divulged found an eager audience. Here?s Cooper: "Now, you are looking at the scene just outside the consulate in Benghazi as a pro-American crowd tried to rush Ambassador Stevens, who was wounded, still alive, to the hospital. Tonight, obtains exclusive information about the climate that led up to all of this. A source familiar with Ambassador Stevens? thinking said in the months before his death, he talked about being worried about what he called the never-ending security threats, specifically in Benghazi. The source [is] telling us that the ambassador specifically mentioned the rise in Islamic extremism, the growing aI?Qaeda presence in Libya, and said that he was on an al-Qaeda hit list.? Exclusive, foreign, terrorism-related, breaking news that?s so CNN. The Web ate the story for breakfast and lunch the. next day. On Friday night, Cooper returned to the topic of Stevens, this time with more compelling stuff: "The information for [Wednesday?s] report, like all of CNN's reporting, was carefully vetted. Some of that information was found in a personal journal of Ambassador Stevens in his handwriting. We came upon the journal through bur reporting and notified the family. At their request, we returned that journal to them. We reported what we found newsworthy in the ambassador? writings. Our reporting followed up on what we found newsworthy, as I said, in the ambassador? writings." Those are six very heavy sentences. And there's an extensive story behind them, as the Wall Street Journal and the Huffington Post reported on Saturday. The family of the late ambassador had requested that CNN not issue any reports based on the journal or even reference its existence before the family consented. CNN agreed to abide by the family?s wishes, according to Philippe Reines, a State Department spokesman who listened in on a conference call between a CNN executive and a representative of the Stevens family. State and CNN have spent a good part of the weekend trading nasty words on the spat. The length of this State Department tract alone makes clearjust how peeved its leadership is: Given the truth of how this was handled, CNN patting themselves on the back is disgusting. What they're not owning up to is reading and transcribing Chris's diary well before bothering to tell the family or anyone else that they took it from the site of the attack. Or that when they ?nally did tell them, they completely ignored the wishes of the family, and ultimately broke their pledge made to them only hours after they witnessed the return to the Unites States of Chris's remains. Whose ?rst instinct is to remove from a crime scene the diary of a man killed along with three other Americans serving our country, read it, transcribe it, email it around your newsroom for others to read, and only when their curiosity is fully satisfied thinks to call the family or notify the authorities? UNCLASSIFIED US. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. 0058?8226 Date: O?li?29f2016 US. Department of State Case No. Doc No. 005878226 Date: D1f29i2016 When a junior person at CNN called, they didn't say, 'Hello, I know this is a terrible time, but I'm sure you want your son?s diary, where do you want it sent?? They instead took the opportunity to ask the family if CNN could report on its contents. Contents known only to Chris Stevens, and those at CNN who had already invaded his privacy. When the seniormost levels of CNN were finally reached, they needed to be convinced to do the right thing. But not before they took a second shot at convincing the family to let them report on the contents. A family member made it clear directly to CNN that they wanted Chris?s diary and would not make any other decisions until then. But that wasn?t fast enough for CNN, so they helpfully offered to send the family the transcript they?d already made and passed around, to put a rush on it for their own purposes. it was then made clear to them, for what must have been the fourth time in the same call, that they wanted to look at it privately, together as a family before making any decisions. Period. CNN finally heard their request enough times that they had to accept it, agreed to abide by the clear wishes ofthe Stevens family, and pledged not to use the diary or even allude to its existence until hearing back from the family. But the Stevens family was never given that chance. I guess four days was as long as CNN could control themselves, so they just went ahead and used it. Entirely because they felt like it. Anderson Cooper didn't even bother to offer any other explanation as to why the network broke its promise to the family. And only did so after being contacted by a reporter asking about the diary and their convoluted sourcing. How do they justify that? They have yet to even try to defend the indefensible. Not a proud episode in mm; history. I?m sure there are many good people in the CNN newsroom equally appalled by this decision and wondering who above them authorized this course of action. And CNN: "We think the public had a right to know what CNN had learned from multiple sources about the fears and warnings of a terror threat before the Benghazi attack which are now raising questions about why the State Department didn't do more to protect Ambassador Stevens and other 1.1.5. personnel. Perhaps the reai question here is why is the State Department now attacking the messenger." in sum, an extraordinary disagreement between this country?s foreign-policy shop and one of its more aggressive agents of foreign reportage. It all stems from the unique circumstances that unraveled on Sept. 11. The attacks on the consulate and annex were severe enough that the State Department evacuated all US. personnel from the compound, leaving, in effect, an unsecured crime scene. A full three days after the attack, CNN senior international correspondent Arwa Damon found Stevens? jovrnal at the site of the Benghazi consulate, according to Reines. Reines found out about the journal not long after a "return of remains" ceremony for Ambassador Stevens and the other victims at Andrews Air Force Base on Friday, Sept. 14. He received a call from State?s protocol office alerting him that someone from CNN had called the Stevens family with the news that they'd recovered the ambassador?s journal. To request to report on its contents, the family member responded in the negative. The Stevens family wanted State's help, so Reines got in touch with a Stevens family member who confirmed the story for him. Now Reines wanted to chat with CNN, so be e-mailed the woman - CNN staffer Meredith Edwards who?d reportedly contacted the Stevens family. No reply. Next on the list was Mark Whitaker, a ranking CNN news executive. Reines asked Whitaker whether the story he?d heard was accurate. Whitaker confirmed the gist ofthings but wasn?t forthcoming, recalls Reines: "He was clearly sheepish and defensive from the beginning," says Reines. "He said, 'We?re talking to our lawyers.? And I said, ?Mark, if you?re talking to your lawyers, then you know you're on shaky ground.? UNCLASSIFIED US. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05878225 Date: 01(29/2016 6ilED US. Department of State Case No. Doc No. (305878226 Date: 01299016 That call was merely a prelude to more calls. Later that Friday, Reines chatted with Richard Griffiths, a key CNN editorial of?cial who confirmed possession of the Stevens diary and explained that the late ambassador had procured it in Stockholm and had started writing in it onhhis last holiday. Reines discussed getting Grif?ths on the line with the Stevens family to hash out the affair. Grif?ths then told Reines how he?d pitch the family: That the journal provided a beautiful window into Stevens?s character and dedication to his work and that they?d like permission to go ahead and use it on air. In a subsequent conference call with the family and State officials, Griffiths "regurgitated" the script, Reines says. The family member listened and said no. Reines: "The family member thoughtfully and clearly told Griffiths that this was Chris's personal property and that they believed it was their personal property now, that they wanted it back and that they would not make any other decisions about it" until they reviewed it. There wasn?t an insistence that they?d never bless its use, nor an indication that they would just a preference that they jointly take a look at the contents before making any decisions. Griffiths asked if the family would be okay with CNN at least saying that it had recovered the jomnal on the site of the attacks and had returned it to the family. Family member: No. After that rejection, Grif?ths told the Stevens family member that CNN had transcribed the diary and could pass it along in e-mail format. The family member declined to share an email address, so the parties agreed that Griffiths would send the text to Reines, who would then forward it on to the Stevens family. Reines fulfilled his middleman role and says he has never glimpsed at the contents of the e?mail; nor has any State Department official had access to it, he says. One clear takeaway from the conference call, says Reines, is standing on the question of family deference. It was absolute, he says Griffiths stated that the network would honor the wishes of the family not to mention the journal on air. "There was no other caveat or asterisk,? says Reines, whose account was corroborated by two other State Department sources who overheard the conference call. The next step was arranging for Damon to pass the journal along to an Italian diplomat so that it could be delivered back to the family. "The ?rst order of business was getting this out of hands, given their behavior and their insensitive interactions with the family," says Reines. Things were quiet until the following week, when Cooper began what Reines called "breathless" coverage alleging that Stevens believed he was on an aI-Qaeda hit list. That information, in Cooper?s wording, was based on an anonymous source. "They constructed something that allowed them to satisfy their minimaljournalistic standards to break their pledge to the family," says Reines. The network differs, saying that it had ?multiple sources" for that information. "Out of respect to the family, we have not quoted from or shown the journal," says a CNN statement. CNN never apprised anyone in the Stevens family of its plans to mention the journal on air, says Reines, though a CNN source insists that the network tried many times to reach the family after the Sept. 14 conference call, "to no avail." In its statement, CNN gives this explanation for discussing the item on air: "The reason CNN ultimately reported Friday on the existence of the journal was because leaks to media organizations incorrectly suggested CNN had not quickly returned the journal, which we did.? Odd bit of reasoning: Did CNN run some material because someone had apparently paddled false rumors to other news outlets? The Wall Street Journal, says Reines, was poking around at this story, asking CNN if it was true that it had come into possession of the Stevens journal. (The Wall Street Journal declined to comment on the matter). explanation for breaking their promise to the ambassador?s family is that someone was leaking on them, rather than any kind of responsibility to their own standards," says Reines. ?That is hardly a profile in courage."

Department of State Case No. F-2012?3669?l Doc No. 005878226 Date: 011299016 non-consideration, says Reines, CNN's editorial formulations didn?t change from the moment it spoke with the family to the time that it apprised its viewers of the journal. "The only thing that changed was their integrity," says Reines. Any fair accounting of this dispute must start with an Endorsement of CNN's industriousness. That a reporter from the network got to the scene and fetched an item that no one else had found speaks well of CNN and its commitment to international reporting. lf CNN hadn't been on the ground, after all, the Stevens family may never have recovered the journal. That a news organization, and not a U.S. government entity, scored the journal speaks ill of the latter. From there, the story gets more complicated. Journals enjoy an exalted cone of privacy among civilized people: Hands off. That cone shatters, of course, when we?re talking about the writings of an ambassador who's been killed in a high-profile attack in a volatile foreign country. Reflections and information in the journal may be of immediate public interest, an imperative that steamrolls any considerations about privacy. Not only was CNN right to read and cepy the journal, but also it was obligated by its newsgathering mission to do so. Judging from the record, it?s clear that the journal was instrumental in CNN's Wednesday night story about Ambassador Stevens and the al-Qaeda angle. That piece was unflattering to the interests of the State Department, which, after all, is entrusted with protecting its personnel overseas. Is that why State is so upset over this matter?

No, you read my email correctly-J found your statement to CNN offensive. From my perspective, the scandal here is that the State Department had such inadequate security procedures in place that four Americans were killed. And then the Ambassador's diaryuand who knows what else--was left behind for anyone to pick up. Thankfully, it was CNN--and not Al Qaeda or some other militia-?that found it and was able to return it to the family. That CNN used portions of the material in the diary they found at the scene-material that appears to contradict the official version of events that Stater'Wl-I has been putting out--is completely in line with practices of good journalism. I don't know how involved Arwa Damon has been in this. But for what it's worth, Arwa is one of the best war correspondents working today. She's consistently risked her life to get these stories, and to find out what actually happens in these con?ict zonesJ do agree that the media has lots of reSponsibilities, and CNN ful?lled its responsibility by returning the diary while still managing to inform the American public of newsworthy information. So it's unfortunate that you are trying to make a scapegoat out of CNN. That State was forced to ?ee Benghazi--again, because of such inadequate security, leaving behind allsorts of sensitive information-- tells us more about than CNN. The misinformation here seems largely to be coming from State and the administration. The defense that the administration has offered that there was no intelligence warning of an attack is weak. If there was no intel, then clearly the CIA and other intel agents stationed in Benghazi weren't doing theirjobs well. Ifthere was intel, then we have some kind of cover-up--whether out of incompetence or ass covering before the election or just the trauma of losing four good men, it's hard for me to say at this point. i All the best, Michael On Sun, Sep 23, 2012 at 11:28 AM, Reines, Philippe I wrote: 2 UNCLASSIFIED US.

Department of State Case No. Doc No. 0058?8232 Date: 01i?29i2016 Good morning Michael I?m adding my colleague Toria Nuiand who I believe you know. She has addressed much of your questions beiow during. her daily press briefings, So I'll let her weigh in to remind you of what's already been thoroughly answered. As far as the tone of my email, I think you?re misreading mine as much as I'm misreading yours as being needlessly antagonistic. But on your questions pertaining to CNN's handling of the diary: 0 You know that all USG personnel were evawated from Benghazi after the attack. So I?m not sure why you're asking why State didn't find the diary first. - On material, I'll let Toria reiterate, but the answer is no. Though you might want to ask CNN if they took anything else from the crime scene that they haven?t yet told anyone about. - In terms ofthe media's responsibility, I'll start with the outlandish statement that I believe the media does have responsibilities. Your question seems to imply they have none and any expectation of responsible behavior is too much to ask. To be specific: I believe CNN had the responsibility to act as human beings and be sensitive to their loss when they first approached the family. I believe CNN had a responsibility to not make promises to the family it would not keep. If that's too much to ask, I believe CNN had at the very least a responsibility to make their intentions on the use of Chris's diary clear to the family from the outset. I believe CNN had a responsibility to not deceive its own viewers for more than 43 hours on the source of their g. reporting, using convoluted attribution they themselves had to clarify, before admitting it was the diary they were relying on. I believe that when they finally did admit to using Chris?s diary, they had a responsibility to their viewers and to the family to explain why they broke their pledge. I believe that many within CNN agree with everything I'm saying. More than anything else, I believe that CNN since they had already read every word of the diary before calling the family on Friday the 14th, the day Chris's remains were returned home - had all the information they needed at that - point to make an editorial decision on whether the contents of the diary compelled them to report on it. I believe the time to invoke their standards to justify using the diary came six days late. I believe that CNN, if they felt strongly that they had an obligation to use the diary should never have presented the family with a choice in the first place that they?d later disregard. ldon't believe that CNN should get credit for issuing a flimsy confession only when caught with their hands in the cookie jar. I believe the statement CNN issued late last night, 24 hours after Anderson Cooper?s ill-conceived statement on air, basically says they agreed not to use it until they didn't feel like it anymore, and only admitted to it when they were about to be caught. 1 don't believe that's much of a profile in courage. Lastly, I believe that you ofail people, after famously being accused ofviolating agreed upon ground rules and questionable sourcing, would agree that it's important for a news organization to maintain its own integrity if it is to be trusted. That begins with keeping its word. If you can't manage that, then don?t give it. 3 UNCLASSIFIED US. Department of State Case No. Doc No. CUEBT8232 Date: O1i?29i'2016 0 5 7 2 3 2 IED us.

If the answer is yes, then you obviously agree that CNN handled this perfectly fine.

No, you read my email correctly--I found your statement to CNN offensive. From my perspective, the scandal here is that the State Department had such inadequate security procedures in place that four Americans were killed. And then the Ambassador's diary--and who knows what else--was left behind for anyone to pick up. Thank?illy, it was CNN-and not Al Qaeda or some other militia--that found it and was able to return it to the family. That CNN used portions of the material in the diary they found at the scene-?material that appears to contradict the of?cial version of events that StatefWH has been putting out--is completely in line with practices of good journalism. I don't know how involved Arwa Damon has been in this. But for what it's worth, Arwa is one of the best war correspondents working today. She's consistently risked her life to get these stories, and to ?nd out what actually happens in these con?ict zonesl do agree that the media has lots of reaponsibilities, and CNN ful?lled its responsibility by returning the diary while still managing to inform the American public of newsworthy information. So it's unfortunate that you are trying to make a scapegoat out of CNN. That State was forced to ?ee Benghazi--again, because of such inadequate security, leaving behind all sorts of sensitive information-- tells us more about than CNN. The misinformation here seems largely to be coming from State and the administration. The defense that the administration has offered that there was no intelligence warning of an attack is weak. If there was no intel, then clearly the CIA and other intel agents stationed in Benghazi weren't doing theirjobs well. If there was intel, then we have some kind of cover?up--whether out of incompetence or ass covering before the election or just the trauma of losing four good men, it's hard for me to say at this point.

Departmenth State Case No. Doc No. Date: 013912016 BB Department of State Case No. Doc: No. 005878233 Date: 01r29r2016 Good morning Michael I'm adding my colleague Toria Nuland who I believe you know. She has addressed much of your questions below during her daily press briefings, so I'll let her weigh in to remind you of what's already been thoroughly answered. As far as the tone of my email, I think you're misreading mine as much as l'm misreading y0urs as being needlessly antagonistic. But on your questions pertaining to CNN's handling of the diary: - You know that all USG personnel were evacuated from Benghazi after the attack. So I'm not sure why you're asking why State didn't find the diary first. On material, I'll let Toria reiterate, but the answer is no. Though you might want to ask CNN if they took anything else from the crime scene that they haven't yet told anyone about. - In terms of the media's responsibility, I'll start with the outlandish statement that I believe the media does have responsibilities. Your question seems to imply they have none and any expectation of responsible behavior is too much to ask. To be specific: I believe CNN had the reSponsibility to act as human beings and be sensitive to their loss when they first approached the family. I believe CNN had a responsibility to not make promises to the family it would not keep. If that's too much to ask, I believe CNN had at the very least a responsibility to make their intentions on the use of Chris's diary clear to the family from the putset. I believe CNN had a responsibility to not deceive its own viewers for more than 48 hours on the source of their reporting, using convoluted attribution they themselves had to clarify, before admitting it was the diary they were relying on. I believe that when they finally did admit to using Chris's diary, they had a responsibility to their viewers and to the family to explain why they broke their pledge. I believe that many within CNN agree with everything I'm saying. More than anything else, I believe that CNN - since they had already read every word ofthe diary before calling the family on Friday the 14th, the day Chris's remains were returned home - had all the information they needed at that point to make an editorial decision on whether the contents of the diary compelled them to report on it. I believe the time to invoke their standards to justify using the diary came six days late. I believe that CNN, if they felt strongly that they had an obligation to use the diary should never have presented the family with a choice in the first place that they'd later disregard. I don't believe that CNN should get credit for issuing a flimsy confession only when Caught withtheir hands in the cookie jar. I believe the statement CNN issued late last night, 24 hours after Anderson Cooper's ill-conceived statement on air, basically says they agreed not to use it until they didn't feel like it anymore, and only admitted to it when they were about to be caught. 1 don't believe that's much of a profile in courage. Lastly, I believe that you of all people, after famously being accused of violating agreed upon ground rules and questionable sourcing, would agree that it's important for a news organization to maintain its own integrity if it is to be trusted. That begins with keeping its word. If you can't manage that, then don't give it. 3 UNCLASSIFIED US. Department of State Case No. F-20?l2?36691 Doc No. 005878233 Date: 01292016 FIED US.

We also reported that the ambassador specifically mentioned the rise in Islamic extremism, the growing al Ctaeda presence in Libya and said he was on an al Qaeda hit list. The information for that report like all of CNN's reporting was carefully vetted. Some of that information was found in a personal journal of ambassador Stevens in his handwriting. We came upon the journal through our reporting and notified the family. At their request, we returned that journal to them. We reported what we found newsworthy in the ambassador's writings. A reporter followed up on what .we found newsworthy in the ambassador?s writings.? 4} Excerpt from Secretary Clinton's press conference on Thursday 9/20: QUESTION: Thank you, Madam Secretary, Mr. Foreign Minister. Madam Secretary, my question is about the ongoing investigation into Ia st week?s attack at the consulate in Benghazi. You are meeting this afternoon with members of Congress to discuss the progress and the concerns that they understandably have. First, there is the federal mandate to establish an accountability review board. Have you done so? Who would you like to see chair it? Are there certain questions that you desperately want to have answered in order to safeguard the safety of Foreign Service Officers around the world? And related to this, given the political instability and the successes of the past year and a half, are you satisfied that in light of those political changes, enough was done to protect those working in the Middle East and North Africa? And then ?nally? and this is perhaps going into the area of rumor and speculation but there is at least one report suggesting that Ambassador Stevens felt that he was on a, quote, "aI-Qaida hit list.? Is this a scurrilous rumor? Is this gallows humor when one is working in a period ofdifficulty and great challenge, or is there something more to what he allegedly and I stress that word - said? SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, first, let me say I'm looking forward to the opportunity to go up to the Congress today. will be brie?ng in two separate sessions, the House and the Senate, in a classified setting, along with my interagency colleagues, as we continue to work together, and with governments around the world, to ensure that our people and our facilities are safe. I will be joined today by the Director of National Intelligence, General Clapper, by the Deputy Secretary of Defense, Ash Carter, by the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Sandy Winnefeld, along with experts from the FBI, the State Department, and elsewhere in the government. Now, I anticipate that this briefing will cover our security posture before and during the events. and the steps we have taken since to do everything we can with host governments to protect our people and our embassies and consulates. The Director of National Intelligence will speak to the intelligence issues surrounding these events in Libya. Deputy Secretary Carter will brief on the superb support we have had from the US. in the wake of these events, and we - are at the very early stages of an FBI investigation. The team from the FBI reached Libya earlier this week. And I will 2 UNCLASSIFIED US. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. (305828241 Date: 0129/2016 US. Department of State Case No. Doc No. (305878241 Date: 01292016 . . 1 advise Congress also that I am launching an accountability review board that will be chaired by Ambassador Thomas Pickering. I will also talk about the importance of the broader relationships with these countries in light of the events of the past days. There are obviously very real challenges in these new democracies, these fragile societies, but as i said last week, the vast majority of the people in these countries did not throw off the tyranny of a dictator to trade it for the tyranny of a mob. And we are concerned ?rst and foremost with our own people and facilities, but we are concerned about the internal security in these countries because ultimately, that puts at risk the men, women, and children of these societies on a daily ongoing basis if actions are not taken to try to restore security and civil order. And let me just conclude by saying that there can be no doubt where the United States stands. We continue to support those who are ?ghting for universal values -values that we see at work in lndonesia the third largest democracy in the world. We believe that these values of universal rights, ofjustice and accountability, of democracy, are there for. every person regardless of where that person might live. So I will look forward to having a chance to tall: with members of Congress. As to your final question, I have absolutely no information or reason to believe that there?s any basis for that.

What an horribly tragic event. I didn?t know any of the people involved personally, but like so many others American, the story of what happened simply broke my heart. Earlier last week, before all the eruptions, Erin and I had a long conversation with our EP to revisit this story and determine what he had in mind, more than a year alter since our Initial talks. The good news is he is as enthusiastic as ever perhaps even more so about making this happen. And what he would like us to focus on is not fundamentally different than what we spoke about in the past. But much, of course, has happened over the past year, and as we get closer to Secretary Clinton's pianned departure, one can't help but wondEr how she?s viewed her tenure, which of her accomplishments she looks at most proudly, etc. i What we would still like to do first is try to go on atrip with her in the next month or so, and then do the sit down afterwards, with the pieoe to air some time in December. Does that time frame sound viable? And If so, cOuId you let us know what trips are currently being planned? Thanks as always, Robin 2?

We had never met or interacted in any way, so yre decided to get together at Charlie Palmer's Steakhouse, right near our of?ces in the Russell Building. The usual reporter flack get together over drinks. The only unusual part was that it was only 10:30 in the morning, on a workday. But that spoke volumes ofwhat was to come over the next three and a half years. We've ail spent a lot of time togethEr on the road, and have many war stories. But when i think of Matt, I think of something much closer to home. His knock. You all know our office is right next to the Bullpen. Nobody takes greater advantage of that than Matt.

But as soon as I hear that knock, followed immediately by the door opening and his signature I smile. The whole suite smiles. I smile in part because I know it?ll be an entertaining break in the day. And no joke, I'll likely learn something new about our next trip. But I also smile because I know that no matter what he's coming in for, no matter the topic, it will be legitimate and reasonable. I smile because I know that despite the gruff, rough around the edges routine that he pulls with everyone - very effectively I might add - I know there's a Teddy Bear in there. Albeit the rare kind of teddy bear that smokes, drinks and has a nasty temper. But a teddy bear nonetheless. And like all teddy bears, very caring.

A very small group of people speak English. And then there are a whole host of ethnic languages overall. So one of the biggest efforts underway in ASEAN is to try to build sort of a younger group of people that have English capacity. You'll be struck that, when you arrive there, there?s a lot of new building. Much of that building, again, has been brought either by international organizations or China. One of the few areas where the United States and China have actually worked quite well together in terms of joint projects has been in Timor. I think we have been a strong supporter of Timer ultimately being embedded in an institution like ASEAN. But to date, many ASEAN countries are not supportive of that yet because they're essentially quite weak and they have a long road to go overall. When we're there, we're going to have a chance to, obviously, congratulate them on their - both their new election and their 10-year anniversary. We?re going to go out to a coffee plantation. One of the areas where the country has really started to come back is in the coffee plantation, coffee growing. They work very closely with Starbucks and a couple other coffee chains. You'll get a chance to sample some of the it is a very distinctive, very rich coffee grown into the hills there. I think Timer is still plagued by substantial violence. And we have a number of programs to support the country as a whole, but it does have a long way to go. And its relationship with Indonesia is still complicated. And others in ASEAN want them to be on a slower path towards joining the organization as a whole.

He answered and engaged in an extremely polite conversation that lasted for some time. We were all very stressed and scared, especially the crew, but there was Justin graciously asking the caller, "Might 1 call you back if that is at all possible?"

Our going to Kenya is not in doubt. We'll get there Friday night and be there Saturday. The problem with Nairobi is that we don't know what we're doing. We're waiting on the gov't to let us know when their leadership is available, etc. From our experience planning and Executing a previous visit there, we know we?re going to be guessing until we're actually there.

The more stringent Transportation Security Administration rules, to take effect at midnight, follow the attempted Christmas Day bombing of a S. airliner headed into Detroit from Amsterdam. "These are changes that weren't widely in place for all carriers or countries on 1224.? a senior administration official told POLITICO. ?These are sustainable measures that are a signi?cant enhancement of our security posture. TSA will continuoust review these measures with our global aviation partners to ensure the highest levels of security All passengers from countries on the State Department's ?State Sponsors of Terrorism? list plus all passengers from Nigeria, Pakistan and Yemen, will receive "full body pat-down and physical inspection of property,? the of?cial said The ocuntries on the State Department list are Cuban, lran. Sudan and Syria. A much higher percentage of all travelers from all foreign countries will receive such screening than IS currently the case, the official said. 'The screening ?couid also include advanced explosive detection technology or advanced imaging technology where it?s available" the of?cial said - Kristin Lee of the TSA, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security. announced: "Today the Transportation Security Administration issued new security directives to all United States and international air carriers with inbound flights to the US. effective January 4, 2010. The new directive includes long-term, sustainable security measures developed in consultation with law enforcement of?cials and cur domestic and international partners." In other words, there will be a new moral for international travel into the US. The ?enhanced security measures" apply to "all international flights to US. locations, including both S. and international carriers,? the official said. ?All international passengers will be screened and the majority of passengers Will be screened using threat-based or random measures, the of?cial said. These are designed to be sustainable measures that are a significant increase in our security posture- The measures apply to all passengers with passports from or itineraries through State Sponsors of Terrorism and 'countrres of interest.?

"This is a significant step forward Lee said in her statement: ?Because effective aviation security must begin beyond our borders, and as a result of extraordinary cooperation from our global awatlon partners, TSA is mandating that every individual flying into the US. from anywhere In the world traveling from or through nations that are State sponsors of terrorism or ocuntrles of interest will be required to go through enhanced screening. The directive also increases the use of enhanced screening technologies and mandates threaHnased and random screening for passengers on US bound international flights." UNCLASSIFIED US.

Where did this wave of anger come irons? Why did it begin in Tunisia, and what does it mean? FP's special ebool-t starts with a revelatory ?rst chapter that shows how the revolutionary rumblings were ignored, dating back to Issandr El Amrani's prescient warning to Barack Obama in January 2010: Egypt, he wrote, could he the ticking time bomb that overwhelms your international agenda. The coverage also includes a dramatic day-by-dny retelling of the battle ior Tahrir Square. insider accounts of Washington's flip-?opping and struggle to keep up with events, and some of the world's leading authors and experts, from James Trnuh to Gary Sick to Robert D. Knplan, on where we go from here. - Cunsider it a guidebook for these revolutionary times. Chapter One: Rumblings of Revolution The nunblings ofrcvolution in the Arab world were not dif?cult to hear, fueled as they were by political stagnation, crumbling public services, endemic police brutality, mass unemployment, and a building senseoffailtuc and humiliation. Across the Middle East, populations bulging with testivc, angry youth dreaming of better lives were ruled by geriatric tyrants For years, the Only question had been when they would explode, not i? And yet even those who should have loiown better- rctuscd to acknowledge reality. On Jan 25, 201], the day Egypt's revolt began, U.S. Secretary of State Hilltuy Clinton said, "Our assessment is that the Em?m government is stable and is looking for ways to remand to the legitimute needs and interests of the Egyptian peoplc"-m1 assertion that mused to he as politically as it was factually mime. Chapter Two: Tunisia: An Unlikely Spark The Arab revolt began in a place nobody expected: Tunisia, a pleasant Mediterranean enclave long dwught to he a model for the rest. of the region, when: the lslamists were kept out, unemployment was kept down, and test scores Sure, Presidmt Zinc cl-Ahidine Ben Ali was brutal, but, imlikc his neighbors in Algeria and Libya, he built a mentioning education system, a thriving middle class, and a relatively c??icicnt public sector. Wasn?t that better than the alternative? us. Department of State Case No.Fd2012-36691 Doc No. {305865713 Date: 01t05t2016 0 5 8 65 ?7 US. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc NO. Date: 0110512016 Chapter Three: 13 Days in Cairo There's ajokc that's been making the rounds in Egypt lately, and it goes something like this: Hosni Mubarak meets Anwnr Sadat and Gamal Abdel Nasser, two fellow Egyptian presidents, in the afterlife. Mubarak asks Nasser how he ended up there- "Poison," Nasser says Mubarak then turns to Sadat. "How did you end up here?? he asks. "An assassin's bullet," Sadat says- ?What about you?" To which Mubarak replies: "Feoeboolc." Chapter Four: Revolution Makers Every uprising has its imheraldcd heroes1 be it the any general who refuses orders to ?re on innocent civilians, the broadcaster who denounces his formar puppet masteIs on state television, the musician who pens the anthem that awakens the masses, or the elderly grandmother who series down the shock hoops of the decree regime and refuses to submit But it is the true believers, the visionaries who dare to dream in isolation and bravery of a new order, who make revolutions pomible. The Arab world is no different. From youthful Facebook organizers to retired diplomats, crusading journalists to Serbian activists, these revolutions have seen their share of inspiring protagonists. And yet, in this new age of social nebvorlts, text-messaging, and satellite television, the Arab revolt is remarkable for its lack of charismatic leaders. In Bahrain, Egypt, 'bya, Tunisia, and Yemen-and wherever the revolutitm ultimately spreads-previousty apolitical young people, not politicians, have so far been leading the way. Buttowhere? . Chapter Five: Barnett Obama and the New Mideast In August 2010, months before a streetcar vendor's ert dc couer lit the ?ame of revolution in Tunisia, US. President Benoit Obama mdered a secret repeat on the potential for instability in the Arab world. What, he wanted to know, might push these regimes over the edge? And yet, there were few signs that the Obama administration saw the Arab revolt coming Not only did the State Deparunmt say little at high levels about the glossly rigged Egyptian parliamentary elections of Novanber 2010, but U.S. o?icials continued to insist-against all evidence to the contrary-tint quiet diplomacy was bearing fruit. And once the ?rst inklings of revolutionary fervor hit the streets of Sidi Bouzid, 'I'tmisia, the United States was slow to realize what Was happening. At a democracy emfercnce in Doha, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton timed heads merely by pointing out the obvious: that Arab regimes were ?sinking into the sand." Still, it was not until Jan 14, 201 l-tbe day Tunisia's strongman PresidentZine el-Abidine Ben Ali ?ed to Jeddah-that President Obama issued a statement on the monthdong uprising in Timisiit Chapter Six: New Whnt?

ItUs an exciting opportunity, and [Elm thrilled to have it. I do want to say that I think The Daily is run by some awesome people, is a great product, and is going to do incredibly well. My departure should not be seen as any kind of negative re?ection on them. i simply was presented - out of the blue --with a dif?cult choice between two really great options. . Arianna has personally told me to keep on doing what [Elve been doing. pursuing hard-hitting and thoughtful journalism that is fair to both sides but doesn Elt shrink back from calling a spade a spade and having some personality. in the past year. lee broken news of the White House December tax deal with Republicans, revealed that car privileges usually reserved for national security o?icials were being given to top White House political advisers, and wrote months before the pack about lukewarm feelings among many in the tea party movement abouta Palin presidential run. I canCitwait to go even further in reporting thoroughly and thinking deeply about American politics and policy as the campaign heats up. i hope that whether youElre a friend, a colleague or a source, youljll continue to be interested and served by what I write.

February 01, 20113315 PM of?cials tells ABC News that on Saturday, President Obama made the ?nal authorization to send former Ambassador to Egypt Frank Wiener to deliver gently the message to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak that neither he nor his son should run for the presidency this September. Wiener, a weiLregarded Egypt hand with a longtime relationship with Mubarak, was-?in the orbit," an of?cial says, ?because he?s been talked about as a potential Holbrooke replacement" to be a Special Envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan. The White House gave Wisner his talking points, the official said, and Wisner ?ew to Cairo Sunday to tell Mubarak that he should not run for rte-election - and that his son Gama} should not run either. The message didn?t delve into-?the mechanics of a transition,? an of?cial said. "It was supposed to be delivered in a gentle way, it was a gentle nudge: ?You should say you?re not running again. One additional observation, from a well-informed observer: ?the events have in some ways moved beyond Wisner?s talking points. Mubarak's departure could some well before September.?

Multiple sources who work for Ryan and speak with him on a regular basis said that the Budget Committee chairman has no intention of mnning for president in 2012. llthere is any consideration at all within the Ryan camp about a 2012 run and that clearly remains a big if they are not ready to start talking about it. "Paul is focused on representing his en-ployers in Congress and sewing as the Budget Committee chairman. His priorities are being the best husband and father he can be and doing his job to the best of his ability." said Susan Jacobson, ?nance tireotor of Ryan for Congress. ?He is not interested in running for president." But Priebrrs' deliberations are the ?rst real indication that those who are close to Ryan and who control lovers of power in the GOP are taking the idea of a Ryan candidacy seriously. Priebus and Ryan are both from have known one another for years and talk regularly. They?re slated to joinlty headline a fundraiser Friday in Milwaukee along with Neocnsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R). In addition. the RNC chainnanljsucomnentsnat a breakfast Tuesday seemed to hint at the possibility of a Ryan candidacy. Priebus has been seeking counsel since at least last week about what impact a Ryan presidential run Would have on his own role at the RNC. sources told The Hu?ington Post. Other GDP hopefuls might object to someone so close to Ryan rel-mining as head of the partst main lundraising and organizing arm. The Republican presidential nominee usually installs his own RNC chair for the general election. RNC spokesman Sean Spicer said Priebus remains impartial and supportive of all the Repub?can 2012 hopefuls. DWI: enjoy great relationships with all potential candidates and whoever our nominee is will receive the full support attire RNCJII Spicer said. News of 3 Ryan candidacy would send shockweves through the political world and radically alter the 2012 landscape. He has the potential to electrin a conservative movement that has thus far remained unexcited by the ?eld of potential candidates and increasingly anxious that they will not have a fonnidable leader to ci'rallenge President Berack Obama. An increasing number of conservative columnists including Charles Krauthamn'ler, Bill Kristol and Ross Douthat have begun to can for Ryan to run. such a scenario might actually be likely has picked up this week. lf he Were to jump in.

While?scel issues are his focus. his record on social issues is solidly conservative.

Bush over John Kerry in 2094. Perhaps most importantly. Ryan has been the only politician tram either party in Washington over the last few years to present a detailed plan for reform of entitlement programs. The basic elements of his plan - which would slash the top income tax rate from 35 percent to 25- percent while overhauling Medicare and shitting Madcaid to more at a state?run program were avoided by House Republican leaders for several years. but after assuming the Budget Comrrittac Ryan wrote such provisions into theuoflicial House GDP budget. RyanDs biggest challenges in a campaign. GOP operatives said. would be raising money. overcoming his lack of executive experience and playing politics at the highest of levels. Ryan "hates politics.? one observer said. and over the years, has a single-ninded focus on in?uencing policy by remaining in the Houae. eschewing opportunities to'run for govemor or a Senate seat. But a presidential campaign would require him to be ready for hardball. and would also present a cormmnications challenge. Ryantls demeanor is ellicient and not particularly warm His focus is on technical budget and spending issues.

Elli what you can run on is the daggurn budget. good luck explaining that to America. a soundbite society unfortunately. and itns not a soundbite? . Nonetheless. Ryan has for some cast the 2012 election as a [?ipping pointl] that will decide whether the United States remains a nation driven by a self-reliant and industrious people orbeoomestJa Ucradla?to?the?grava European~type welfare state.l:l But he has consistently said that he does not want to mn for presidant in 2012. citing the impact of a run on his ability to spend time with his wife and three children. who live in Jenesville.

Along with House Speaker John Boehner {R?Ohio). Ryan has largely become the public face of the Republican Party. Ryan delivered the GOP response to Obarnans State of the Union address in January. He then vaulted into the public when he presented the budget proposal in early April. ?re GDP leadership in the House is united behind his plan. But he has also helped unilyunembers oi the Democratic Party. who havenattackedDRyenUs cuts to government health care programs. One possibility is that Ryan decides that the only way out of the debate is up. and that to have a chance of winning the argument with Obama and Demuals he needs the kind of platform that only a presidential campaign can bestow upon a politician.

DES Social altow the presidential campaign to focus on the economy are pushing back. arguing that the two cannot be disconnected. As Rep. Michele Bachrnann put it in a speech here Saturday: DSocial conservatism is ?scal conservatism? The Minnesota congresswomahns ?ne. though an over-sin-plitication. was echoed by numerous social corrsewatives in conversations with The Huf?ngton Post over the weekend. Their argument is that many of the outcomes that have produced the nation?s economic crisis are. at their core, driven by moral de?ciencies: greed, dishonesty. sel?shness. cowardice. and the like.

They said. ?If you want this country to be great. you better ?rst be good.Ci El said .Bob Vendor Plants. the man who has led the merge in Iowa against same-sex marriage. DAnd so thatns where weDre at saying. Wou know what. if you think all it is is over here on the economic side while you want all this other stuff to erode. youEIre dealing with a house of cardsn? Rep. Steve King. the Iowa Republican who organizedua ggy-logg meetng on attracted presidential hopefuls Newt Gingrich. Haley Barbour. Herman Cain and Baohmann. said that tithe economic component of this is innocent, but when it goes wrong it is because it is the byproduct of a sodety thatus getting off trackn [little need to work on the economic issueslet our society deconstruct. to the point where itEls Godless and faithless and vaiueless. and itle every man and woman for himself. collecting the spoils from someone elsecls labor. wenre just simpty pitted against each other. We?re not a uni?ed people anymore!) King said. Git destroys us as a nation. I want to see a nation that is solidly bound together from a social construcm It is something of a change from the past. when religious conservatives otten argued that America would rise or fall nititarily and econonically based on whether itwas following the God ofthe Bible. God would bless the nation. or curse it. based on its faithfulness to him Many would still beieve that. But they are moving away from a more fundamentalist argument toward a new. more practical message. No matter how rriuch social conservatives improve their messaging. however. the debate within the GOP grows contentious when it gets speci?c. The argument inside the party is not as much about whether everyone is on the same page on social issues though there is some of that as much as what the GOPEIs points at emphasis should be. Republican presidential hopefuls ike Haley Barbour. Tim Pawienty and Mitt Romney believe that abortion is wrong and that?tarriage should be between.a.rnan_and_a_woman. But when leaders ike Vendor Fleets andJGog push..therri.to talk -.- about those issues more frequently. the White House contenders know that they are being asked to play with political tire. Many independents and Democrats who might be open to voting for a Republican against President Cinema in 2012 are likely to be turned off by po?ticians who spend a lot of time talking about Same-sort marriage or aborlion. .. us.

Gingrich and Bachmann both said Saturday that sociai issues should not be shunted aside. But while Gingrich took some stands on abortion issues. he made no mention of marriage. Bachnann spent most other speech talking about goverru'nent spending and intrusion. Bachmann said children need two-parent homes. but did not say anything about whether marriage should be between a den and a woman. and expressed enpathy for single parents. noting that her parents divorced when she was a child. Of course ail the speakers on Saturday support traditional marriage and oppose abortion. But socially conservative voters and organizers want to hear them say it. "Once we understand where a ndidate is at on their core vetoes. and we believe that they are convicted with their core values on life, on marriage. on separation of powers and the Constitution. on limited government and on tree enterprise than we want to hear what their vision is.?

Pa. - The ?ght over school vouchers in is a test of whether the Tea Party can transition from a protest movement into sustained political activism. They might yet make the grade. but they're h'rlting ptenty oi bumps?long the way. A forum in Shippensburg. Pa. on Juno 5 showed how the voucher issue has raised serious questions among Tea Party rank and ?le. Hughes. a local tumilure store ownar, told a panel of policy airports and national campaign coordinators from the Washington-based group FreedomWorks that he didn't think the vouoher bill was necessarily a good use of his taxpayer money. 'We're coming to a point where? if I'm going to survive to eat the ?sh tomorrow. I've got to think about today.? Hughes said. can't think about. Well We got to think about helping all these other people get a ?sh for tomorrcm And know that sounds sel?sh. but yet at the same time that's just a reality of where the economy is. for the most part.? The crowd was smelt: 1 1 people showed up to hear four panelists talk about the details of the voucher bill. Many of the questions were skeptical. especially as the session were on and it became clear that the vouchers would only go to low- income students for the ?rst few years of the program. The audience was also dubious that the program would ever be expanded beyond poor students. now that it is being whittled dewn in the state legislature's budget negotiations. The stakes of the ?ght have much to do with 2012. FreedomWorks. a national conservatth group. is trying to both keep local Tea Party activists engaged and build a grassroots network. lot of what we're going to about in the next year before the next election in 2012 is. how do we win battles. and how can we build our organizations at the local level. the lot community lavel. so that we have a real machine going in I 2012 so that we make some real changes at the ballot bolt like we did in 2010,? said Brendan Steinhauser. who oversees political campaigns for Freedomeks. to the attendees in Shippensburg. want you all to think about this battle [for school vouchers] in particutar in that context in terms at how we get there from here.? he dded. . Amanda Shell. 3 young FreedomWorks staffer who sat on the panel with Stetnhauser. tried to persuade Hughes to think broader. but her exhortation ended up being more of a lecture. "Education reform should be a statewide concern. not just limited to which counties or districts we live in. As a you should want your entire state to be better educated she told Hughes. ?1 would hope that more people would see it as a broader issue.? A woman in the audience responded to Shell- "Everybody to sick cusses. And now we're mming-upthh-another?ptogram which is going to involve more money-and going to start on the lower-incomeside." the woman said. "People are tired of having results." ?People aren't looking at the state. They're looking at then-selves." she explained. "They?re looking at. 'l'm working two. three us.

Date: O?ll29l2016 jobs just to get my family settled and now we're going to do this other thing for the and l'm getting poor.? Nathan Bene?eld. a policy analyst at the conservative Commonwealth Foundation who sat on the panel. tried to explain that after an initial bump in costs. the Voucher program would save money in the long run. Students who took the $5.000 voucher payments toward a school oftheir choice would end up costing taxpayers less. he said. than the 514.0% a yearthe stale currently spends on each of its students. But in the short term. the concerns about spending are real. The initial cost to launch the program has been estimated at around $250 million over the ?rst two years. That's no entail sum for a state that is trying to dig out of a $4.5 billion budget de?cit. And the attendees' complaints reflected the economic realities that transcend political ideology. which have driven much of the Tea Party agitatiom - - After the meeting. Ben Rice. an employee at a local 911 emergency call center and a member of the Franklin County Tea i Party. was frustrated with the questions. "You could tell the Libertarians. the pure Tea Party. believes it?s welfare. We need to educate them,? he said. "There's a disconnect there between the Tea Party and a conservative push on this. We have to bridge that gap." - There is a simple explanation for why some in a movement that focused so narrowly on pocketbook issues in the tall elections have shifted away from pure budget matters. Gov. Tom Corbett {Ft-Pa.) is cutting spending. so there is little reason for local conservatives to be upset. In other words. it?s easier to be against something than it is to be for something. FreedornWorks is working with local activists to try to push the governor to act more forcefully on voucher legislation. It was introduced into the GDP-controlled Senate as the ?rst bill this year. but the legislation has now stalled. The conservative group is frustrated that Corbett - who talked about school choice in his inauguration speech - is not cracking skulls to pass controversial bills like Govs. Scott Walker (R-Wrs.) and John Kich {Ft-Ohio) have done in their states. "There is de?nitely a lack of courage and leadership.? Steinhauser said at the forum, referring to Corbett, the state's former attorney general. ?He's no Scott Walker." tie-said later in an interview with HuflPost. keep hearing. it?s not his personality to really call someone up and go LBJ on them. So I get that. But we would like to see him be more making the calls. calling the meetings. Like. he should be having a press conference with House and Senate saying. We're going to get this done.? Steinhauser and others said that if Corbett had pushed hard for the voucher bill early in the year. he could have built political momentum going imo the budget battle. Now. they say. the school issue is mixed in with the budget talks. making it inevitable that. if anything passes at all. it will be a watered down version. Another Republican involved in politics put it more bluntly: "The understanding is that Corbett has just fucked it up.? . Corbett's of?ce did not retum phone calls. but Stephen Miskin. a spokesman for the state's House Majority Leader Mike Turzai. took the comparison to 'U'ii'isconsin as a favorable one. He cited news reports this past week that said Wisconsin?s GOP-controlled Senate is rushing to pass bills because Republican legislators fear that they may lose their majority due to a series of recalis. Those voter initiatives were sparked by the passage of a bill to roll back the collective bargaining rights of state government empioyee unions. "We?re not going to be losing our majority. We are planning to governor for a number of years. And governing means building a consensus and getting things done.-" Miskin said. know some people are disappointed but truly is not maisonette?? Current polling supports the idea that?the more cautious approach is a smarter electoral strategy than the actions of Republicans in Wisconsin and Ohio.

Of course. the Tea Party was largely created in response to outrage over politicians making every decision with an to protecting their own political futures. So while GOP may be limiting their negatives. they may also be putting a ceiling on the support they'll receive from their base. FreedomWorks is trying to change the political calculus. About 36 hours after the Shippensburg forumI Shell and Steinhauaer and other FreedomWorks personnel. along with iocals like Rice. stood on the steps in front of the state Capitol building. Their purpose? To send a thinly veiled threat to Republican lawmakers on the fence about ?mvouchecbill -- u- -- - - David Spielman. the group's campaigns coordinator. said that if Senate Bill 1 is not passed by the time that budget negotiations are finished at the end of June. FreedomWorks will send out a ?st to Republican voters of which GOP lawmakers voted against it. and how much money they took in campaign contributions from the teachers union. We are here to make it quite clear." Spielrnan said. ?We want this bill Steinhauser said the group was willing "to do whatever it takes to get this done. to spend the money we need to spend to get this done whether it?s with grassroots efforts lobbying now or looking at the elections next year.? However. there were only ?ve at the press conference, less than the seven staffers and intents from FreedomWorks' Washington office, A statehouse reporter from the Allentown. Pa..Moming Call gleefully mocked the event. Ana Putg. a mother of four from the Philadelphia suburbs who attended the rally. has become a key Tea Party organizer in the state. She and another former stay-at-home morn. Anastasia led get out the vote efforts last year and are now lobbying the governor and state lawmakers with two and threeday trips to the Capitol every week. Puig voiced some exasperation that many who rallied for the Tea Party in last year's elections are not involved in the legislative process during a non-election year. don't think they get it,? she said ofthe majority of Tea Party voters. "They think this is the cit-season. We have live new Repub?cans in Congress. so WOO hoo we can sit back and relax? That's not the case at all." 'We need to move beyond just elections. Elections are not enough anymore.? Puig added. The school voucher issue 'is just as important, if not more important." Despite the problems mobilian support for the voucher bill. Commonwealth's Bene?eld said it's still a great opportunity for conservatives. The policy analyst predicted that a stripped down version of Senate Bill 1 would be passed as part of the budget by the end cfthe month. ?This is the ?rst lime the Tea Party movement - and the ?rst in a long time for conservatives and Republicans in - has been able to go on offense. trying to achieve a policy victory rather than sinple beating back a bad agenda." he said. Steinhauser said there is an opportunity - by working with black Democrats in the state legislature like Sen. Anthony Wilson. who represents scuthwest Philadelphia to undo some of the negative associations the Tea Party has accumulated. "Everybody always attacks the Tea Party guys as. They're a bunch oi racists." Steinhauser said. "We're working with Tony William and his constituents on School choice for low-income students in telling schools; inner city Philadelphia. Harrisburg. Pittsburgh." And. he said. activists like Puig and will be key to getting out the vote when the Republican presidential nominee tries to defeatEtesidehLQbama. . . - - 'We?re building these little-nebvorks and getting to know people that we didn?t even itan before.? Steinhauser said. "So ill can just keep them involved. especially the leadership. then when it gets real exciting. and everybody comes out of the woodwork. it's like. 'These guys are trained."

He said the president will "eat those words? comparing the federal law to the Massachusetts law. can?t wait to debate him," Romney said with relish.

Romney's fragile position as an institutionally and ?nancially powerful front-Rumor with huge vulnerabilities on the issues presented his challengers with a big incentive to try to eat one of their own, violating fonner President Ronald Reagan's sci-called Commandment, which dictates that Republicans should abstain From attacking one another. But Pawlemy showed Signs of banking away from his attack on Romney earlier in the day "The objectisn't to stir some kind of internal rill in the Republican party. The focus here is to get Barrack Obama out of the White House,? Pawlenty told reporters after a morning campaign step, when asked about his comments at day earlier. Romney remained crisp with his answers and carried himself with con?dence from the moment he walked onto the stage. The fonner Mamaehusetts governor began debate day trying to set his Own direction, indicating his focus would be on attacking Hutdent Obama. His campaign releaaed a tad-second video early in the morning hammering Obama for characterizing current levels as a "bump in the road.? The spot featured several Hispanic faces, a single mother with two kids and a handful of college students. Tire Romney campaign went after Obama again Monday a?emotnt, blasting White House press mretary Jay Caniey In so doing, Romney cast himself as the frontrunner and presumptive nominee, gearing up for a general election ?ght with the incumbent Democrat. He tried to stick to that game plan during the debate as much as possible. His ?ercest fusillade against Obams came about halfway through. when asked about whether he favors raising the federal government's debt limit this "We will not raise the debt ceiling unless the president (bully. finally is willing to be a leader," he said. "We want to so: a president ?nally lay out plans for remrng in the excess of government" Romney pointed to entitlements as the biggest driver of the nation?s runaway debt, and praised Rep. Paul Ryan fit-Wis.) for proposing a budget that would overhaul Medicare. 'Where are the president's ideas?" Ronutey said. ?Why isn?t the president leading? He isn't leading on balancing our budget, and he?s not leading on jobs. He's failed the American people both in job creation and in the scale of government. and that's why he?s not going to be reelected.? The White House, which allies say is alarmed enough at Obanta?s you-ting vulnerability because of the flagging economy. dissatched former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs to the debate site to hit back at Romney and Pawlenty. Romney?s record on job creation, Gibbs said. ?ranks among the least impressive." citing a report that said Massachusetts ranked 47th out of 50 states on the issue under Romney?s governorship. "Tires: guys are not going to be able to not away from their records," Gibbs said in an inteI'View with CNN outside the media ?ling center on the St. Anselm campus. The Democratic National Committee devoted most of its attention Monday to Romney. attacking his record as a CEO of a private equity ?rm in Boston during the 805 and 905 and his job creationrocord as Massachusetts governor. Romney has been successful so far with his reductionist approach. The latest Gallup poll released Monday showed him with 24 percent support, well ahead of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's lo pernmt He was ahead of Obama in a recent head to head matehup poll. Ronutey's laser-like focus on the economy and jobs has gained hint admirers because of a ?urry of bad signs regarding econormc growth lately. lob creation has slowed, the unemployment rate has edged back above nine percent, the bond market is jittery about US. goverlunent debt, businesses remain skittish about expansion and debt contagion in Europe continues to simmer In that context, Romney "stepped out from the blur" last week. declared Wall Street Journal columist Peggy Noonan Politico dubbed him the 2012 primary's ?marathon man,? given his ability to outraise the rest of the ?eld by spades.

And he has developed what the conservatwe Club for Growth called 'an tmshaiteable reputation as a ?ip-?opped on issues such as cap and trade and abortion. Tea Party groups have said they will actively work to prevent Romney from winning the nomination, based in large part on his health care plan. Much depends on how the ?eld shapes out.
