...don't know why hundreds of highly-trained US forces, equipped with billions of dollars worth of the most sophisticated equipment in the world, prepositioned in Italy and elsewhere for just such a purpose as to mount a rescue operation to save American personnel in danger in the Mediterranean, were not given the green light to do their jobs.

We don't know who gave the two separate "stand down" orders that prevented precision bombing of targets that were illuminated at great personal risk by a United States soldier on the scene... who was later killed for his trouble.

We don't know why the survivors were prevented from telling their stories to Congress.

We don't know why the people attacking the Embassy took so long to take it... They had the manpower - there was NO PROTEST - a protest was an early lie - they were just armed insurgents... We don't know why the FBI was denied permission to do an on site investigation... until long after any evidence would have been destroyed. CNN was there before the FBI.

Good list Steely Tom...

Maybe because it was a CIA post and they didn’t want the FBI to know what they were up to !

The “missing” survivors if CIA don’t want to blow their cover and their careers by coming forward

Still doesn’t mean what we were doing there was legal. Think IranContra
