(Two years and ) Six months later, where are the Benghazi survivors?
CBS News ^ | March 11, 2013 | Sharyl Atkisson

31 MONTHS AGO!

Today marks six months since the September 11, 2012 terrorist attacks on the U.S. compounds in Benghazi, Libya in which four Americans were killed, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens. Some watchdog groups, members of the media and Republican members of Congress are asking: Where are the more than two dozen U.S. personnel who survived the attack but haven't been seen nor heard from in public since? There were also an undisclosed number of witnesses at the U.S. compounds in Tripoli but they also have not spoken publicly.

In a recent press report, Secretary of State John Kerry said he visited one survivor at "Bethesda hospital," and referred to him a "remarkably courageous person who is doing very, very well." Kerry added, "I've called his wife and talked to her." But the identities, condition and testimony of the survivors and witnesses have been closely held from the public.

At a press conference on November 14, 2012, President Obama stated that his administration has provided all information regarding "what happened in Benghazi." Yet, when CBS News asked for White House photos from the night of the attacks, surveillance video that was promised last November, and answers to outstanding questions, a White House official told us that there would be no further comment.

CBS News has filed multiple Freedom of Information requests for Benghazi-related material, but none has been provided. Judicial Watch, a watchdog group, is suing the U.S. government in an attempt to receive some of the denied information.

Every last survivor has been visited by regime enforcers bearing gag orders and the knowledge that “sometimes bad things happen to your family when you talk”.

Crossed my mind on reading Kerry saying he visited them and he thought they were so courageous and all.

Good question.

Who knows? They might have fared better if they had thrown in with the terrorists rather than rely on our Secretary of State.

Have they been imprisoned? I am concerned about their freedom of movement and well being.

This is proof the government is way too powerful. “They” can take down anybody.

I’m afraid what happened to Perot will happen to Trump. And don’t say Perot brought it on himself. The media went after him and CNN even changed how they calculated their own polls because Perot was leading. The next CNN poll dropped him to third.

The only thing there is now that wasn’t in existence then is the internet. Maybe that will slow them down.

If Hillary and O hung me out to dry I’d be singing like a bird. These people are cowards for not coming out.

Perot dropped out of the race temporarily, for obscure reasons. He got back in later but by then the magic was gone. trump won't be doing something that flakey.
