Benghazi starts to unravel - finally
I had posted several explanations for why Benghazi happened and what the USA was doing there. We were
purportedly running guns --
arming Libyan rebels.
There was also the idea that we were working with the Muslim Brotherhood (why else did we give their puppet in Egypt so much cash and arms) and this was a deal brokered to make Obama look like a hero
only things did not work out as planned...
CNN has been on the ball here -- first (from yesterday) they reported that they had been able to
interview a lead suspect in the Benghazi terror attack for two hours.
And now
this report today:
Exclusive: Dozens of CIA operatives on the ground during Benghazi attack
CNN has uncovered exclusive new information about what is allegedly happening at the CIA, in the wake of the deadly Benghazi terror attack.
Four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were killed in the assault by armed militants last September 11 in eastern Libya.
Sources now tell CNN dozens of people working for the CIA were on the ground that night, and that the agency is going to great lengths to make sure whatever it was doing, remains a secret.
CNN has learned the CIA is involved in what one source calls an unprecedented attempt to keep the spy agency's Benghazi secrets from ever leaking out.
Since January, some CIA operatives involved in the agency's missions in Libya, have been subjected to frequent, even monthly polygraph examinations, according to a source with deep inside knowledge of the agency's workings.
The goal of the questioning, according to sources, is to find out if anyone is talking to the media or Congress.
It is being described as pure intimidation, with the threat that any unauthorized CIA employee who leaks information could face the end of his or her career.
In exclusive communications obtained by CNN, one insider writes, "You don't jeopardize yourself, you jeopardize your family as well."
Another says, "You have no idea the amount of pressure being brought to bear on anyone with knowledge of this operation."
"Agency employees typically are polygraphed every three to four years. Never more than that," said former CIA operative and CNN analyst Robert Baer.
Congress needs to form a Select Committee and investigate this -- what the hell was going on over there?
