Fatal Distraction: Focus On Benghazi, Not Broadwell
11/14/2012
Petraeus Scandal: Four Americans have been killed under still-unexplained circumstances, yet the obsession is with a general's mistress and not with the truth of why these men were left to die in Libya.
How ironic that the FBI agents who descended on the home of Paula Broadwell to gather information on the mistress of now-former CIA Director David Petraeus probably did a better job than the FBI agents who gave a cursory look at our burned-out consulate in Benghazi, leaving behind classified documents strewn on the floor and even our ambassador's diary to be picked up by CNN.
A press that ignored the administration's incompetence and swallowed its lies whole now salivates over every episode of what some have dubbed "The Real Housewives of West Point." Protect the president, but slime the military as a commune of lechers.
Senate Intelligence Committee head Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is insisting that her committee hear directly from Petraeus about his October trip to Libya to personally inquire about the Sept. 11 terror attack on the Benghazi consulate. The general reportedly will cooperate.
What did the nation's chief spy find out? What's in his report? Did it have anything to do with the curious timing of his "resignation," just after the election and just before he was to testify to Congress? Will it blow the administration's narrative out of the water?
Who gave the order for forces to "stand down" and not go to the rescue of the consulate compound or the safe house? A week before Petraeus' resignation, the CIA issued a flat denial that any order to stand down ever came from anyone in the agency. Why wasn't a rescue attempt mounted when AC-130 gunships and Apache attack helicopters could have arrived in time?
Why, two days after officials from the National Counterterrorism Center gave Capitol Hill briefings in which they said Benghazi was likely a terrorist attack and that there were several al-Qaida training camps just outside Benghazi, did Petraeus tell lawmakers exactly the opposite, following the administration line that the attack was more consistent with a flash mob infuriated by an obscure Internet video?
And as long as we must mention Ms. Broadwell, can anyone explain the speech she made at the University of Denver on Oct. 26 in which she revealed the news that the CIA had been holding two terrorist prisoners at the consulate and the attack was an attempt by terrorists to rescue them? Was this made up to hype her biography of Petraeus, ironically titled "All In," gleaned from his computer, or was it indiscreet pillow talk?
