News Outlets Held Back Detail Of Benghazi Attack At CIA's Request

Told you so!

It was a CIA Operation

Just being reported , several of the SEALS at Benghazi were actually contractors working for the CIA and several news outlets were aware of this. The information was embargoed, presumably to allow the CIA time to clear out any assets and salvage what information it could from the operation.

Short story is THAT is why the administration was less that forthcoming and willing to allow people to think it was just an angry mob. This was apparently a group of militants who know EXACTLY what they were after when the attacked the Consulate. After the attack there were still sensitive assets (including CIA operatives) still on the ground in Libya, and the administration wanted more time to assess the situation.

News Outlets Held Back Detail Of Benghazi Attack At CIA's Request

Doherty and Woods were in Libya on contract with the CIA. They say they omitted mention of the 2 former SEALs' CIA connection so that other lives wouldn't be endangered. Thus the "silence" from the administration (gasp! they were actually trying to protect other people!!)

Only seven of the 30 people evacuated were with the State Department. Thus the rest were CIA and primarily under the direction and supervision of the CIA, not State.

Now it is clear the Seals killed that night were not part of any security detail. It was an attack on an intelligence gathering installation rather than an embassy which paints a vastly different picture.

Good information.

 

Food for thought...

Benghazi Political Fail

 

Ummm.... this is not "new" news idiot troll....


The Blaze was saying all of this a couple nights after the attack.

 

Gee, it only took the White House a month to come up with the new spin.

 

Strange, I read about this a couple of weeks ago, why do you think it proves Obama is not an idiot?

 

oh the OP TOLD US SO

and now the Hufferpost is finally telling us....yeah sure

 

Think anyone will buy it the second time? lol

 

If the repub syncopants can't realize that the administration was delaying the full story of what happened to protect people and assets still there and in other places, you are sadder people than I thought you were. That you can't acknowledge or understand that is no surprise, however.

 

You can swallow that, doesn't MEAN everyone else will
