U.S. captures Benghazi suspect in secret raid
The Washington Post ^ | June 17, 2014 | Karen DeYoung,, Adam Goldman and Julie Tate

U.S. Special Operations forces captured one of the suspected ringleaders of the terrorist attacks in Benghazi in a secret raid in Libya over the weekend, the first time one of the accused perpetrators of the 2012 assault has been apprehended, according to U.S. officials.

The officials said Ahmed Abu Khattala was captured near Benghazi by American troops, working alongside the FBI, following months of planning, and was now in U.S. custody “in a secure location outside Libya.” The officials said there were no casualties in the operation, and that all U.S. personnel involved have safely left Libya.

Is this a distraction for Iraq, or is the Iraq collapse a distraction for this? Perhaps they are both a distraction for for the Mexican border collapse or the economic collapse. It’s so hard to tell with all these collapses happening.

Benghazi hearings heating up? Time for Obama to catch the ringleader IN ORDER TO SHUT HIM UP. He will probably have an accident in prison or choke to death on a meal.

Obama is worried what this guy will say so he got him off the streets in order to SILENCE HIM.

Does Khattala know about the Hillary/Morsi plot to kidnap Stevens in exchange for the Blind Sheik? You betcha!

Wouldn’t it be interesting if they guy admits that they were just supposed to capture the staff and trade for folks like the Blind Imam? And that the whole thing was coordinated by the white house.

Everything recently about the White House has STUNK (Bergdahl, Benghazi, Obamacare, Iraq, Ukraine, VA, IRS, etc).

So they need something to retain some credibility -- even among liberals...

Maybe the fact that None of the Above won the primary for Governor in Nevada might have helped push the administration to try to get something positive out there...

You have a good point, he may feel so empowered that he can do things without a fig leaf for cover. We can thank the brain dead voters, spineless RINOs and the lame stream media for that.

More like he will have some accident before he can respond to what was going on at the counsilate. He is probably being held in the Vince Foster memorial solitary confinement cell in Saudi Arabia.

I am certain when they water-board him, he will confess that the Internet Video inspired him to attack the compound and kill the Ambassador. It will be then reported in a Rose Garden press briefing and liberals will rejoice at the wonderfulness of waterboarding.... (NOT!)

That’s my thinking too. Make sure he keeps his mouth shut.

Whoever’s interviewing the *itch should ask ‘he’ll be charged with both RAPE and murder, right’? Since most of America seems to not know what happened that night.

If he would admit that, we’d never her about it. Probably suffocate under his blanket in a freak detention cell accident...
