Did The 60 Minutes Benghazi Hoaxer Also Lie About His Rank?
Source: Gawker
CBS News correspondent Lara Logan and her producer Max McClellan are scheduled to return to 60 Minutes quite soon, after the pair took a public beating last year for airing the Benghazi lies of British military contractor Dylan Davies. But they’re not the only ones to blame.
Scant attention has been paid to their counterparts at Threshold Editions, the conservative imprint of Simon & Schuster, which published Davies’ now-pulped Benghazi tell-all, The Embassy House. CBS, which owns the prestigious publishing house, may want to take a closer look.
There are several previously unreported discrepancies in the personal biography Dylan Davies presents in The Embassy House, which he wrote under the pseudonym “Sergeant Morgan Jones.” For one, there is zero evidence Davies obtained the rank of sergeant in the British Army. Two, Davies and his editors seem to disagree about the length of his military service. Finally, a three-year period of his private military career remains mysteriously unaccounted for, while his mid-career foray into a failed lawn-service business doesn't rate a mention.
... Lara Logan, Max McClellan, and 60 Minutes executive producer Kevin Tedesco declined to comment. Sonya McNair, the executive director of communications at CBS News, declined to comment. Jennifer Robinson, the director of publicity at Threshold Editions at Simon & Schuster, declined to comment. Mitchell Ivers, Louise Burke, and Damian Lewis, respectively the editor, publisher, and co-author of The Embassy House, also declined to comment. Davies, who has gone into hiding, was not able to be reached.
