Apologize for what? The fact is Rice went on five different Sunday talk shows and lied about Benghazi being the result of a YouTube video.

Via The Hill:

Republicans owe Susan Rice an apology for attacking her over the discredited talking points about the Benghazi attack last year, a Democrat on the House intelligence panel said Wednesday after a lengthy briefing with the CIA’s second-in-command.

Deputy CIA Director Michael Morell gave panel members a “minute-by-minute recitation” of the development of the information that was shared publicly by Rice in the days after the attack in Libya, according to Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).

Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, was knocked out of the running to be secretary of State after Republicans attacked her statements faslely linking the attack that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans to a protest gone awry.

The talking points as originally drafted by the CIA said the Benghazi attack was believed to have been “spontaneously inspired” by protests in Cairo blamed on a U.S. made anti-Islam video.

When Rice made her statements, she merely repeated what the intelligence community “said was their best estimate,” according to Schiff.

“I absolutely think she’s owed an apology,” he said.
