If you then ask why might that be interesting then i would point to several threads ...(If I can find them all again).
Libyans, diplomats: CIA's Benghazi annex a secret
There is another one ....but I need to find it.
Americans were under attack, for whatever reason, for more than 7 hours. They resisted and called for help. For some reason, help was denied and they were left to die. WHY was help denied and WHO denied it?
Why the CIA explanation of a terrorist attack was changed to a "spontaneous demonstration", and why there was an attack at all are questions to be answered for the record, but they are diversions to muddy the water and protect the guilty.
Obviously, they all had this information. It was simply that they didn’t get the cover-up memo out to her in time.
But I am slow ...so I pnged you before I knew you were here...oh rats...I am such a pest ...with all this pinging stuff.
???
First this block buster tid bit out of the report below, which has flying under the radar:
"According to multiple intelligence sources who have served in Benghazi, there were more than just Libyan militia members who were held and interrogated by CIA contractors at the CIA annex in the days prior to the attack. Other prisoners from additional countries in Africa and the Middle East were brought to this location.
The Libya annex was the largest CIA station in North Africa, and two weeks prior to the attack, the CIA was preparing to shut it down. Most prisoners, according to British and American intelligence sources, had been moved two weeks earlier."
Now back to the Fox news story:
Petraeus mistress may have revealed classified information at Denver speech on real reason for Libya attack
By Jennifer Griffin, Adam Housley
Published November 12, 2012
FoxNews.com
Biographer Paula Broadwell could be facing questions about whether she revealed classified information about the Libya attack that she was privy to due to her relationship with then-CIA Director David Petraeus.
At an Oct. 26 speech at her alma mater, the University of Denver, on the same day that Fox News reported that the rescue team at the CIA annex had been denied help, Broadwell was asked about Petraeus handling of the Benghazi situation.
Her response was reported originally by Israels Arutz Sheva and Foreign Policys Blake Hounshell.
Broadwell quoted the Fox News report when she said: The facts that came out today were that the ground forces there at the CIA annex, which is different from the consulate, were requesting reinforcements."
Broadwell went on to explain more sensitive details from the Benghazi attacks, particularly concerning what the real cause might have been.
Now, I don't know if a lot of you heard this, but the CIA annex had actually, um, had taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner and they think that the attack on the consulate was an effort to try to get these prisoners back. So that's still being vetted.
In the original Oct. 26 Fox News report, sources at the annex said that the CIAs Global Response Staff had handed over three Libyan militia members to the Libyan authorities who came to rescue the 30 Americans in the early hours of Sept. 12.
A well-placed Washington source confirms to Fox News that there were Libyan militiamen being held at the CIA annex in Benghazi and that their presence was being looked at as a possible motive for the staged attack on the consulate and annex that night.
According to multiple intelligence sources who have served in Benghazi, there were more than just Libyan militia members who were held and interrogated by CIA contractors at the CIA annex in the days prior to the attack. Other prisoners from additional countries in Africa and the Middle East were brought to this location.
The Libya annex was the largest CIA station in North Africa, and two weeks prior to the attack, the CIA was preparing to shut it down. Most prisoners, according to British and American intelligence sources, had been moved two weeks earlier.
The CIA, though, categorically denied these allegations, saying: The CIA has not had detention authority since January 2009, when Executive Order 13491 was issued. Any suggestion that the agency is still in the detention business is uninformed and baseless.
Broadwells affair with Petraeus was likely known to Holly Petraeus, according to family friends. The FBI reportedly knew about it months beforehand and White House Counterterrorism adviser John Brennan reportedly was aware that there was a relationship as early as the summer of 2011.
The White House strongly denied that Brennan was aware so early.
It is irresponsible and flat out wrong for Fox News to run an anonymous, unsubstantiated, and blatantly false accusation, as Mr. Brennan was first made aware of the issue last Wednesday," spokesman Tommy Vietor said.
Broadwell, whose affair with Petraeus reportedly ended earlier this year, continued to serve as an informal spokesman for the CIA director. She suggests in her Denver speech that Petraeus knew almost immediately that the attack was a terror attack -- possibly to free militia members.
Still looking for other threads.
Thanks.
“militia members in Libya were watching”
Where? In a movie house? The mayor’s office? Down by the port? Next door to the embassy?
Bullchit
Interesting points!
More smoke and mirrors, as if Broadwell wasn't capable of covering for Petreaus running a gun-running operation. She's an innocent victim caught in a crossfire you know ;-)
I thought this at first, and it is a possibility, but I think it’s too complex.
THE TESTS OF TRUTH
1. Logical consistency.
2. Agreement with experience.
3. Economy of explanation.
The Russian/Syrian angle takes a lot of time to explain. Look at what Erik Latani (sp?) wrote above. That is a simpler explanation.
Thanks Ernest. Anything to shift blame from the darling of the Partisan Media Shills.
There has been nothing “new” reveled that has not been brought out weeks ago. The rags all take a shot at how they want to present things. Same goes for the idiot box goons.
Now that makes sense....had not seen that thought before....
