Griffin’s sources tell her thatthe annex had painted a laser target at a terrorist mortar position and had called for an air strike. I’m not sure what that looks like in Panetta’s world, but it at least sounds like real-time intelligence on the attack, as well as a clear target...

Why would he have lased the target unless he expected an incoming round/missile/Specter Gunship,,, if he/they were under duress/attack, you would not take the time to expose yourself or your position by continuously lasing a target.

just my opinion..

"They were in constant communication..." - Jennifer Griffin per her source

Does Leon think there is some mystical source of intel that is better than a real time conversation with someone on the ground?

Panetta is a bald-face liar.
