We have an ongoing covert op in Libya that has been partially exposed by the Benghazi attack.

Nothing more is going to be said by our intelligence services to anyone.

Romney has been briefed and neither campaigns are going to add to the discussion.

The Monday night debate will only lightly discuss Libya and only within the context of our overall Mid-east policy.

All of us need to drop this story line. If you see the national media going silent, it is not due to partisan politics.

As much as anyone I want to see the Obama administration tagged for the security failures in Libya but that can’t be done right now and not for months.

Would you mind giving us a source for your claim?

The op isn’t covert anymore because you know about it from somewhere.

“All of us need to drop this story line. If you see the national media going silent, it is not due to partisan politics.”

The story line is weapons tracing through Libya. Big deal. That doesn’t mean we need to sacrifice our foreign service empployees and lie about it later as Obama has.
