Covert operators prefer to remain covert operators... to come out would end their usefulness as covert operators. By the time Obama leaves office, we are going to need them more than ever if the next prez acrually wants to fight islamofascists.
Nothing would be acomplished if their identity is exposed now anyway, neither congress nor the press is interested.
They were covert types. I think they ran a secret telephone system. Everyone calls them “operators”.
But seriously, it was a gun running operation, shipping weapons to Al Qeida in Syria by way of Turkey. They were brave during the shootout, but they were working on the side of evil.
The same State/CIA crew had just supported Al Qeida in Libya and were looking for a double play in Syria.
Libya, that was where we switched sides in the war on terror.
