51. UPDATE: White House dials back on General's statement
10:46pm

The White House is reportedly trying to scale back retired Lt Gen Clapper's statement, saying he had given a "static assessment" of the situation as it stood today.



But if you look at it through a "dynamic lens", taking into account motivation, isolation, Gaddafi's loss of legitimacy... You can come up with a different assessment,


said President Obama's National Security Advisor Tom Donilon.


Asked if the US administration was content with the intelligence director giving Congress "a static assessment", he replied:



The president is happy with Director Clapper.
