The most interesting revelation is her claim that the CIA was holding several Libyan militia members prisoner, which may have prompted the attack.

Hardly a revelation. There were numerous press accounts of it several weeks ago.

CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack October 26, 2012

According to a source on the ground at the time of the attack, the team inside the CIA annex had captured three Libyan attackers and was forced to hand them over to the Libyans. U.S. officials do not know what happened to those three attackers and whether they were released by the Libyan forces.

Wow... What if she was Fox News’ original source?

I was under the impression from various accounts that the three Libyans were captured DURING the attack, and were turned over afterwards, then ended up in Turkey or Tunisia because they were’t Libyan.

Read that; 'then' but did not think to wonder; at that point; 'who' forced the 'handover'. The Libyans; or our CIA?
