in one of the interviews for that story, correspondent lara logan spoke to dylan davies, a consultant who managed security outside the u.s. compound. davies said he went to the scene during the attack and identified the body of ambassador christopher stevens in a hospital. davies told "60 minutes" he had given the same details to the f.b.i. but last night federal law enforcement sources told cbs news that in the f.b.i. interview davies told the agents that he did not go to the compound that night or to the hospital. part of davies' interview also appeared on this broadcast. lara logan said this on cbs "this morning." >> and after our report aired, questions were raised about whether his account was real after an incident report surfaced that told a different story about what he'd done that night. and, you know, he denied that report and he said that he told the f.b.i. the same story that he had told us. but what we now know is that he told the f.b.i. a different story to what he told us and, you know, that was the moment for us when we realized that we no longer had confidence in our

he doesn't want to comment till dylan davies comments in light of the fbi report. gave us a statement saying although we have not seen the fbi report, in light of revelations we'll review the book and take appropriate action regarding its publication. >> when that will aired, you had critics of the administration saying think is a game-changer. so now how does this new information change the debate? >> it clearly reignited the debate. senator lindsey graham saying wait a second, why can't we get acis esto witnesses like this and in fact, he even threatened till they get such access, he will hold up all of obama's nominations. these revelations quieted that firestorm. i've talked to a number of republicans who have criticized the administration's response including snorkelly ayotte. they say regardless of this story, our questions remain about the handling of security at the compound and the run-up to this. they still want questions answered. at least this immediate firestorm has no choice but to die down a bit as a result of this. >> jim, thank you so much. >>> the

well dylan davies worked for the state department in libya. he was the manager of the local guard force at the benghazi special mission compound. and he described for us his actions that night, saying that he had entered the compound and he had a confrontation with one of the attackers, and he also said that he had seen the body of ambassador chris stevens in a local hospital. and after our report aired, questions were raised about whether his account was real. after an incident report surfaced that told a different story about what he had done that night. and you know, he denied that report and he said that he told the fbi the same story that he had told us. but what we now know is that he told the fbi a different story to what he told us. and you know that was the moment for us when we realized that we no longer had confidence in our source and that we were wrong to put him on air, and we apologize to our viewers. >> why were you convinced that dylan davies was a credible source, that the account that he provided was accurate? how did you ve

. >> 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. >> jon: we thought of raising the "some true" question before airing. these explosive allegations -- but it's such a pain in the ass! ( laughter ) to check and what if it was ( bleep )? and then we've got these 10 minutes to kill. ah, i don't know! the best part is how "60 minutes" found out the guy was lying. >> we diswoferred the account he-- discovered the account he gave the f.b.i. was different than what he told us. >> jon: what! ( laughter ) if you cannot trust an international mercenary existing in the netherworld twixt assassin and bount hurp, whose very livelihood is predicated on the morality to survive in failed nation-- who can you trust? ( laughter ) it's like finding out santa is real. ( laughter ) spoiler alert! but you know, "60 minutes" is not the only victim here. a certain linforth boregard graham will also pay a price for this man's inslance. you see, blant de gram, has been holding up pres

including his name, which is not morgan jones but dylan davies, which actually sounds even more fake. (laughter) in fact, in his incident report to his employer davies wrote he spent most of the night at his benghazi beach side villa nowhere near the embassy. evidently the guy he hit in the face with the butt of his rifle that night was a cab that boy. (laughter) and, god, i hope it was his rifle. (cheers and applause) now cbs knew davies had lied to his employer but believed the heroic version he told them because their sources led them to believe that davies' f.b.i. report was in sync with what he told "60 minutes." or he might have told the f.b.i. that he was the lead singer of 'n sync. it's not clear. (laughter) because later the "new york times" checked with the f.b.i. and davies' f.b.i. testimony is not what he told "60 minutes." so cbs news quickly checked its own f.b.i. sources and learned what mr. davies told the f.b.i. differd from what he told us. so cbs fact checked the story but when it turned out to be wrong they fact checked it for reals, y'all! (laughter) and on last n

that's exactly what dylan davies, the man featured in the "60 minutes" piece actually did. and their friends at fox news were quick to hype the report and story of dylan davies, a british security contractor who told correspondent laura logan his harrowing tale of being at the benghazi compound as it came under attack. it's the same story he tells in a book published by cbs owned sh simon and schuster. a book since pulled from the shelves. the story was a harrowing tale that turned out not to be true at "the new york times" reported this week. forcing reporter laura logan to appear on "cbs this morning" friday to retract davis's part in the report. we are just hours away from more damage control tonight on their esteemed sunday night broadcast. obviously fox news and the right wing were quick to jump on -- they're always quick to jump on president obama's mistakes. they've been relatively silent about the news of the retracted report. again this morning senator lindsey graham cited it as a reason to block all future obama nominees including jay johnson's nomination for secr

the book "the embassy house" was written by now discredited source dylan davies. davies appeared in a 60 minutes report detailing his account of an american mission in bengahzi libya. however, it was later found davies told the fbi a different story than he told 60 minutes. cbs owned simon and schuster is now asking stores to return copies of the book, to the publisher. the days of having to follow strict rules when bringing liquid on board flghts-- may be coming to an end..overseas. ccording to a report a non- profit research and development organization in ohio.. has installed a screening device at london's heathrow airport to test shampoos, bottles of water and other liquids carried by passengeners. heathrow will test the screener in january. however, the tsa in the u.s.a says don't expect it to happen here in anytime soon. a slippery subject has been resolved at oil drilling company -- transocean. after a months-long proxy fight-- the company is closer to handing a victory to billionaire investor carl icahn. icahn is the third largest shareholder of the oil dr

in the "60 minutes" piece, dylan davies, a security contractor, told logan that he was at the consulateghazi and witnessed the attack, but it turned out he had earlier told the f.b.i. he was not there during the attack. the review by cbs news director of standards and practices al ortiz found logan and mcclellan did not sufficiently vet davies' account of his own actions and whereabouts that night. the review said the fact that davies was telling conflicting stories "was knowable before the piece aired. but the wider reporting resources of cbs news were not employed in an effort to confirm his account." at cbs news' request, lara logan and max mcclellan are taking a leave of absence. today, pope francis denounced trickle-down economics as unfair to the poor as he presented a vision for his papacy in a 224- page document, the pope wrote that money must serve, not rule. he also urged priests to get out of their churches, get their shoes muddy and get involved in the life of their faithful. from a new statement, we turn to an old book that is up for auction tonight. this book of psalms dat

well, dylan davies worked for the state department in libya. he was the manager of the local guard force at the benghazi special mission compound and he described for us his actions that night saying that he had entered the compound and he had a confrontation with one of the attackers and he also took chris stevens to a local hospital. after our report aired questions were raised. after an incident report surfaced that told a different story about what he'd done that night. he denied that report. he told the fbi the same story he told us, but what we now know is he told the fbi a different story to what he told us. anou know, that was moment fors when we realized that we no lonr had confidence in our source and we were wrong to put him on air and we apologize to our viewers. >> why were you cvinsed that dylan davs was a creble source, that the account that he provide was accurate? how did you vet him. >> we verifiedhi conrmed who he was, that he was wng for the state depamet th a time, that he was in benghazi at the special mission compound the

what's dylan davies saying about this? >> well, presumably motive is to sell a book.a very extremely provocative book coming out about warnings he told the state department about security and a harrowing account of what he was doing on the ground that night which we later know not to be true. he said in a statement to cnn "the account in my book is consistent with what i gave to the fbi and the u.s. authorities about what happened in benghazi." but according to cnn's evan perez who spoke to the fbi just recently, there are inconsistencies with what he has in the book with what he told the fbi, and now his publisher threshold publications is saying that they haven't seen the fbi report, but in light of all these recent revelations, they're going to review this book carefully and take action, so in fact what he tried to do is come out with this very provocative book with this harrowing account. it may be this book he wrote is discredited and certainly he was disingenuous when he spoke to "60 minutes." >> elise labott thanks so much. >>> still to come, the mayor of toron

lara logan had british security officer dylan davies who gave a riveting account saying he was there,are a rifle butt but last week the "new york times" reported davies told the fbi he did not go to that compound that night and he didn't, turned out he was lying. logan delivered this statement on "60 minutes" last night. >> 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. >> "60 minutes" gave no background information on why it used davies in the first place, and it continues to get criticism for that. >>> still to come in "the newsroom," chinese-americans calling for jimmy kimmel's job, comparing the late night host to hitler. the house of representatives is even getting involved. details after a break. mine was earned orbiting the moon in 1971. afghanistan in 2009. on the u.s.s. saratoga in 1982.
