Officials at the White House and State Department were advised two hours after attackers assaulted the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 that an Islamic militant group had claimed credit for the attack, official emails show.
The emails, obtained by Reuters from government sources not connected with U.S. spy agencies or the State Department and who requested anonymity, specifically mention that the Libyan group called Ansar al-Sharia had asserted responsibility for the attacks.

Two days now this story has been out there and Philly.com still has not reported on it. It’s like it never happened.
most of the media in this country , local or national has ignored Libya and yet we have these deaths, attack and lies, hell this couldn;t be more of a cover up if Hollywood did a movie.
When I go to a gas station or anywhere with news papers selling I always look at the front pages and the only paper I see mentioning this is the WSJ, all the others, from ABC, NBC, to the NY Times Boston globe and local rags etc have all covered for their messiah obama .

He fought through corruption, lies, attacks like we have never seen, and a media which has totally been telling lies since obama came on the scene years ago.
The longer Secretary of Statements Hilly takes to get to the bottom of this, the more obvious it is that the Benghazi Cover Up was hastily designed to hide a VERY BIG US SECRET TOPIC.
My guess is that the CIA had discovered that some of the 20,000 Libyan Missiles were found in the possession of Ansar al-Sharia who were shipping them to Syria, and Obama knew all about it.
Can Hilly and Billy keep this a secret until after November 6, 2012? Their lives just might depend on it - - - .
