Of course the problem is- there is NO ONE we can actually trust. It’s possible that Griffin’s source was not telling the truth- or that it was a cover story THEY were making up.
It’s hard to believe that NO requests for help were requested. I seem to remember audio tapes while it was going on that asked for help..
IIR, there were some rather horrific sounding tapes of the three SEAL/CIA-types screaming for help. Hope someone saved those because that is all we have to contradict the lies. Thank you, General Can't-Keep-My-Pants-On for taking what ever hope for justice there was and squashing it.
