CBS News is under a microscope this week after it aired a 60 Minutes story about the 2012 attack at the Benghazi embassy. In the report, Lara Logan spoke with Morgan Jones, who is a British security expert who gave a dramatic account of the events on Sept. 11, 2012. However, it has since been revealed that Jones is really Dylan Davies and he gave the FBI an entirely different story.

Davies was being interviewed by 60 Minutes because he has a book out called The Embassy House, which was published under the Jones name and goes over the alleged shortcomings at the Benghazi diplomatic mission, notes New York Magazine. During the CBS interview, Davies claimed that he tried to go into the building as it was being attacked, even recounting how he hit a militant with his rifle. He also claimed that he saw the body of Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, who died during the attack.

He worked for the Blue Mountain group and said he ran to a hospital and then the U.S. mission. However, the Washington Post found that his incident report to the company contradicted what he told CBS - in reality, he wrote that they could not get near the building. Then, Davies spoke with The Daily Beast, claiming that he lied on the report because if he told the truth, it would have shown that he disobeyed orders.

Initially, CBS stuck with the report, defending it and Logan even suggested that politics was driving criticism. However, the network finally changed its position when the New York Times published a story about Davies’ FBI interview. During the interview, Davies gave details that corroborated what he wrote in the incident report.

“60 Minutes has learned of new information that undercuts the account told to us by Morgan Jones of his actions on the night of the attack on the Benghazi compound,” the network said in a statement. “We are currently looking into this serious matter to determine if he misled us, and if so, we will make a correction.”

Logan also went on CBS This Morning to admit that they had made a mistake, reports Mediate. “The most important thing to every person is the truth and today the truth is we made a mistake,” she said. “That’s very disappointing for any journalist.”

She continued, “Nobody likes to admit that they made a mistake, but if you do, you have to stand up and take responsibility and you have to say that you were wrong...And in this case we were wrong.”
