Exclusive: Dozens of CIA operatives on the ground during Benghazi attack (http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/2013/08/01/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 (http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/31/politics/benghazi-investigation-suspect/index.html).



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...

Seems this actually was Day 2 of story, no other outlets following up. Interestingly enough, some of the media watchers are though:

Previewing How The Media Will Defuse CNN’s Bombshell Benghazi Revelations by Noah Rothman (http://www.mediaite.com/author/noah-rothman/) | 11:40 am, August 1st, 2013

The silence that followed CNN’s bombshell report (http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnn-interviews-accused-benghazi-attack-perpetrator-not-in-hiding-claims-fbi-not-looking-for-him/), in which they revealed that one of their reporters was able to sit down for two hours with a suspect in the deadly 2012 attack on an American diplomatic consulate in Benghazi, was deafening. A portion of the interview, airing on CNN’s The Situation Room on Wednesday, revealed that the suspect is not in hiding, has no fear for his personal safety, and has never been contacted by either Libyan or American investigators. In prime time, Fox News Channel scrambled their programming lineup to dig into the implications of the CNN interview, but neither MSNBC nor even CNN’s highest profile personalities touched the bombshell. Why? Perhaps the revelations were too fresh for those concerned over how the scandalous revelations may adversely impact the White House’s political standing. It was on Fox, in fact, where a budding counter narrative — one that protects both the FBI and the White House — was hatched.

Appearing with Fox News Channel’s Greta Van Susteren (http://www.mediaite.com/power-grid/person/?q=Greta+Van+Susteren) on Wednesday night, former FBI Special Agent Jonathan Gilliam was asked how the media could get to this Benghazi attack suspect before American investigators. Gilliam responded Socratically by asking why, in an open investigation, the FBI would even want to approach this individual before they had the opportunity to fully investigate him.


“When I was in the FBI, I could have talked to a thousand of the suspects that we were looking at, but we knew where they were, and knew what they were doing, and that’s what leads an investigation,” Gilliam said.

“The way the things are normally pushed back and forth, it’s by executives who probably don’t have as much investigative experience than the guys on the ground, and yet they’re steering the investigation when it’s this large of an investigation,” Gilliam continued.


He dismissed the CNN interview and scolded Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) who reacted to the bombshell report by asking why, if CNN can interview a Benghazi suspect, why can’t the FBI? Gilliam said that “patience” and “faith” are virtues when awaiting the results of a federal investigation, and those critical of the government’s tactics are behaving like “conspiracy theorists.”

Welllll I'm no conspiracy theorist but this certainly seems like... no one's talking.
And many have something to hide.
can't say what.

It was clear from the start that the embassy was not just an embassy and the CIA were there and up to no good. Exactly what they were up to, we will never know. At least not until another hero emerges to send the info to wikileaks :)

Doesn't matter in the slightest bit, still gives no reason at all for radical Muslim animals to attack and kill innocent people.
