Ex-CIA Director Morell Backs Benghazi Probe

Former Central Intelligence Agency acting director Michael Morell has thrown his support behind the special House committee to investigate the Benghazi terror attacks, even though he has serious concerns about Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy heading the panel.

In a speech Monday to a group founded by his former CIA boss Leon Panetta, Morell said he believed the congressional investigation would finally uncover the truth behind the siege on the U.S. mission in Libya that killed four Americans in September 2012, Politico reported.

"It might be surprising for you to hear me say this, but I am a supporter of the creation of this committee because I want all the facts to come together in one place and be presented as one — by one entity, as one thing, so the American people can see all of this," he said at the Panetta Institute in Monterey, Calif.

"I am hopeful that at least getting the facts on the table will be helpful. A lot of people have looked at this, but the polls show that the American people still have questions. I want to make sure that all of those questions are cleared up.
