According to some sources, this looks like it could have been a secret CIA operation to retrieve rogue weapons that ended up in the hands of Al Qaeda in Libya.
So, either the Administration is not wanting to blow up a secret operation, or they’re just trying to cover for their own malfeasance in giving arms to terrorists.

To your first point-— I have heard that. I (and many other Freepers) think there is some “there” there-—and at least circumstantial evidence. Unfortunately, excellent hearing didn’t touch this.

Adm can’t make this work, IMO. There may well have been a secret op, but their handling of it negates that motive.
It was handled politically -— not to protect sources, but to deceive in order to promote Libya “success.”
Chris Plante is also fond of saying, “Libya has NO government. We left in such a hurry, we didn’t stick around to help them develop a government.”
If we believe the “weapons” story, we were 1) arming Al Qaeda; 2) denying security to those whose lives were in immediate jeopardy and requesting it; 3) inflaming the ME with all those apologetic, official, knowingly FALSE pronouncements about the YouTube trailer -— from Obama, Clinton, Rice, Carney.

It was hardly a secret op,they were advertising to the locals they would buy back the weapons with 400mill.
