a demonstration at the consulate and thought it was an attack from the get-go. hicks' report is at odds with the obama administration's version. david martin reports. >> reporter: he is greg hicks, at the time, number two in tripoli. in an interview on ""face the nation,"" hicks states at first the attack was thought to be nothing more than a demonstration growing out of a similar protest that day in cairo. i thought it was a terrorist attack from the get-go. i think everybody in the mission thought it was a terrorist attack from the beginning. yet five days after the attack, this is how susan rice, the american ambassador to the u.n., described it. >> what our assessment is as of the present is, in fact, what it began spontaneously in benghazi as a reaction to what had transpired some hours earlier in cairo. >> reporter: in the closing weeks of the presidential election, the obama

administration appeared reluck land to admit that it had been hit by a terror attack. but it was pointed out that rice's statement directly contradicted the president of libya who appeared just before her on "face the nation."" >> there's no doubt this was preplanned, predetermined. >> reporter: hicks told committee investigators rice's words were an insult to the president of libya and may have toppled efforts to capture those responsible for the attack. i firmly believe that the reason it took us so long to get the fbi to benghazi is because of those sunday talk shows. hicks, a veteran of 22 years in the foreign service, has never spoken publicly about the attack. that will change this wednesday when he testifies before issa's committee. david martin, cbs news, the pentagon. well, one of three men charged with trying to cover up the alleged boston marathon
