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.

First off, you don’t need to scream. You can make your point without it. Yes, I realize we armed alqueda in Libya, and I also recall the intercepted ship in Turkey, with arms going to Syria.
So if you claim there was no arming in Syria, maybe you can educate me on why our idiot in charge is pushing to send arms and money to those fighting Assad? Oh yea, and that senile Mccain salivates over it. Thanks
Al Qaeda is the Syrian opposition!! They are Sunni Wahhabi. They killed 3000 at the World Trade Center on 9/11. Assad is a SHIITE!!! They have done nothing to us!! ZERO!! DAHHHH
Dahhh?? Really?
Thanks, I appreciate your kind and thoughtful response.
It’s arrogant and snotty comments like yours that give decent people here a bad name. How about trying to share your apparent vast knowledge on this subject without the hysteria.
Assuming I don’t understand the basic reality of who Assad is vs. the rebels, is pretty damn ignorant of you.
Man, for CIA agents to be that afraid to speak the truth. They KNOW what the government can do to anyone. And that includes boner and the rest of the gop rinos. And they don’t have to be “dirty”. They’re “dirty” if the government says they are. Army generals are afraid they’ll lose their retirement and never be able to find a job. This administration realized just how powerful they can be. And they’re using it to the max.
Agree with you-this just is NOT a good sign for our country or our future. The Benghazi story is the most bizzare thing I've ever read, and it actually gets worse every time something new comes out about it.
What better way to take down modern American Government (the "real" threat to the world)? Find something explosive that you can truly pit DC against itself over. We are being softened up and the dickheads in DC who crave power so much served us up on a silver platter.
“Get the feeling that someone is pissed that Carney went out and called the death of 4 US citizens a phony scandal?”
...and Obama himself said it was “not optimal”.
If you watch Fox News, you knew it.
It only makes the stand down order even more disgraceful.
Maybe the big news is that CNN is actually reporting on this "phony" scandal.
What, did CNN accidentally stumble across this information? Then did somebody leave it laying around and it got accidentally leaked?
Not likely.
Oh, no! Not another bombshell!!! Pravda USSA will be all over this and The One will be brought to his knees! sarc/
No big deal: so was Fast & Furious… arming the drug-cartels, which are enemies of the several states.
This isn’t a joke or some spectator sport...this is very serious business that affects us all, and should be taken as such. And, no, there is no room for levity where our government and our lives are concerned.
My reaction too
“Gun running”
I think that is the most plausible explanation. The blind sheik swap theory is not even up to the level of the “too clever by half” standard.
looking at the cnn.com piece on this you would think you were reading the drudge report. what gives?
They know it’s going to break open and they don’t want to be on the receiving end of public condemnation when the public finds out the truth, and that the media was complicit in lying.
IOW, they’re scared because they know it’s going public sooner rather than later.
Oh those “phony” Obama scandals. So phony they are being reported by the Clinton News Network. Yep... Nothing to see here folks.

This wasn’t just running AK’s to bad people....this was running weapons like manpads and missiles to groups so bad the American people would never accept our gov doing business with them. The level of silence on this one scandal by Team Obama and the media tells us how serious the dirty dealing was....imagine Watergate on roids...
