They didn't say 5 days later it was just a protest. They said that current information indicated it started as a protest which was joined by extremists.
The militant group reportedly claimed the video as motivation after the attack then recanted. The NYTimes reported attackers claiming video as the motivation after the attack. The initial and final drafts of CIA talking points included the line that suggested the video ignited the attack.
The CIA also did believe the militant group was involved early on and was investigating any links to alQaeda. Gen. Petraus is on record stating the terror references were intentionally removed by the CIA so as not to tip off any terror links that could be of value.
And what was left is what was given to Susan Rice. It's all out there...
