Exclusive: Dozens of CIA operatives on the ground during Benghazi attack
CNN ^

Posted on 08/01/2013 2:16:11 PM PDT by sunmars

CNN has uncovered exclusive new information about what is allegedly happening at the CIA, in the wake of the deadly Benghazi terror attack.

Four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were killed in the assault by armed militants last September 11 in eastern Libya.

Sources now tell CNN dozens of people working for the CIA were on the ground that night, and that the agency is going to great lengths to make sure whatever it was doing, remains a secret.

CNN has learned the CIA is involved in what one source calls an unprecedented attempt to keep the spy agency's Benghazi secrets from ever leaking out.

Since January, some CIA operatives involved in the agency's missions in Libya, have been subjected to frequent, even monthly polygraph examinations, according to a source with deep inside knowledge of the agency's workings.

The goal of the questioning, according to sources, is to find out if anyone is talking to the media or Congress.

It is being described as pure intimidation, with the threat that any unauthorized CIA employee who leaks information could face the end of his or her career.

In exclusive communications obtained by CNN, one insider writes, "You don't jeopardize yourself, you jeopardize your family as well."

Another says, "You have no idea the amount of pressure being brought to bear on anyone with knowledge of this operation."

"Agency employees typically are polygraphed every three to four years. Never more than that," said former CIA operative and CNN analyst Robert Baer.

Now, to figure out why CNN wants in on the action.

It could be simple paranoia. They are probably shuddering at the treatment of AP, nor do they want to look like they didn't know about a backstory of this magnitude.

This is at the end of the cited CNN article:

Programming note: Was there a political cover up surrounding the Benghazi attack that killed four Americans? Watch a CNN special investigation — The Truth About Benghazi, Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET.

The troops are turning on Obama, and maybe Hillary too.

“Someone please explain how trading an ambassador for the Blind Sheik would make Obama “look good”?”

It would be presented to the American people that Obama successfully negotiated the release of our kidnapped Ambassador. Nothing would be said about any trade.

How is arming the rebels in Syria NOT news?

All you ever write is the kidnapping theory, which has so little credibility, yet you flood every thread with the same chant, over and over. Think outside box man.

Iran contra ring any bells?

“It would appear Jake Tapper isn’t in the bag for O anymore ... he’s becoming much more objective.”

No individual reporter matters. CNN is owned by Time Warner. Time Warner is heavily regulated by the government. Time Warner will ensure nothing CNN says or does causes the government to interfere with its business.

I doubt Stevens was led into a trap by our guys. Now was the attack in Benghazi a reaction to CIA or other agencies actions (i.e. whack a terrorist using drones)?.....that seems more likely.

You obviously didn’t pay attention to Jake Tapper’s reporting (for ABC previously) of the past few years, then. He has been remarkably tough on Obama. I tend to ignore the silly theories about planned kidnappings of American diplomats which have no evidence whatsoever.

Tapper was tough on Obama the past few years while he was at ABC.
