DNI Clapper publicly rebuked after major gaffe regarding Libya
The Obama administration's intelligence chief is under fire for presenting an honest assessment that anti-regime rebels in Libya were losing to Moammar Gadhafi's better-equipped military forces.
James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence, told a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee that the civil war now raging in the north African state was a "stalemate back and forth," a situation that favored Gadhafi remaining in power.
