VIDEO: CBS's 60 MINUTES Apologizes for Erroneous Benghazi Reporting

Last night's 60 Minutes on CBS featured a special segment focusing on the network's erroreous reporting in its October 27th broadcast about the attack on the American special mission compound in Benghazi. Watch the segment below.

CBS newsworman Lara Logan offered an apology regarding her interview with security officer Dylan Davies in which he shared his account of the night of the attack which has since been discredited by an FBI report about the incident.

Included in Logan's comments were:

"We end our broadcast tonight with a correction, on a story we reported October 27th about the attack on the American special mission compound in Benghazi, in which Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed. In the story, a security officer working for the State Department, Dylan Davies, told us he went to the compound during the attack, and detailed his role that night.

"After our report aired, questions arose about whether his account was true, when an incident report surfaced. It told a different story about what he did the night of the attack. Davies denied having anything to do with that incident report, and insisted the story he told us was not only accurate, it was the same story he told the FBI when they interviewed him. On Thursday night, when we discovered the account he gave the FBI was different than what he told us, we realized we had been misled, and it was a mistake to include him in our report. For that, we are very sorry. The most important thing to every person at 60 Minutes is the truth. And the truth is, we made a mistake."
