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.

“If this gets out and vetted, this will be Obamhole’s bay of pigs.”
One of them anyway. Vetting? How about 29 seriously injured people who were taken to Germany to the base hospital?
Talk about vetting.
That and the non-disclosures, GLOMAR responses on who knew what when, drone video, immediate phone notification, rescue ops sitting on tarmacs, ready to roll, and the tape. Tapes of the fighting, the calls, everything. We’re supposed to think 0bama/Jarrett/Clinton/Panetta didn’t know jackshiite?
EVERYONE EVERYWHERE was notified within seconds. And they LISTENED in or SAW it real time. That’s our job. And this was an ambassador & entourage.
This makes me think that the CIA was using contracted operatives in order to maintain plausible deniablity.
That was an academy award-winning performance. Too bad it wasn’t an actual movie. /sarc sort of
...and Huma was probably doing the “translating”; I think she is Hillary’s MB consigliere as she has been with Hillary since 1996- and I believe her direct ties with the MB kept Hillary on equal footing with O and his Muslim pals... Huma kept/keeps her in the MB loop directly as O can’t be trusted on any level by any one.
And let’s not forget who probably has all of O’s sealed records-he never says a bad word about Hillary and her State Dept and she will never be blamed; she and her “legacy” are protected by the MB and by her FBI record stash.
While O is beholden to his “sponsors” who paid his way and is required to bow before them, Huma is one of the family and is in this up to her eyeballs. Her payoff was to be first lady of NYC until “Carlos Danger” screwed it up.
Why did Hillary want to be Sec of State?
I have always wondered about that. To get away from Bill as some have said?-seems like a lot of trouble to go thru just to not “stand by your man”. Maybe just to get “global experience” for her Pres run in 2016? Or is she a closet Muslim and wanted to spread the “good news” and help her GF’s “folks”?
She wants to be the first female Prez and will let nothing stand in her way-but she quit at the height of ScandalGate, risking being labeled a “quitter”.
She had to completely distance herself from this administration, so maybe, just maybe this IS the last and heaviest shoe to drop-
- and unlike “Carlos”, she has no desire to spend time around a room full of ‘dropped shoes’, because if forced to try them on, the shoe WOULD fit...
No kidding...this thing stinks to high heaven. It surely was not some rouge CIA guy in Frankfort orchestrating this like the IRS people did in Cincinatti, sarcasm. This is the result of the naive Obamahole orchestrating a guns for Syria through Lybia complete with a whole cast of amatures at the controls. Yeah, he could not be contacted after the shooting started because if he was shown to be pulling the strings, FAILURE would have hit him in the face. No, Barry the Magnificant has plausible deniability, until someone finally wrests from him exactly what he was doing and where he was on that evening. Not any difference than when OBL was killed, Barry the Magnificant was on the golf course just in case it turned into a crap storm. Then they make a big deal of having a picture of him in his golf clothes in the situation room which picture was a phoney to boot. No Barry’s fingerprints are all over this operation and remember, whenever Barry gets involved in something, it goes to hell.
Nah. Really? Whoda thunk it?
(Excepting, of course, dozens of FReepers who within a day or two figured the CIA was running Ghaddafi's guns through Turkey to the Islamist Al Qaeda affiliates in Syria....)
So the CIA is threatening innocent family members.
Nice.
Lots of very precise language by the CIA there. Sometimes that is a sign of lying.
“That was an academy award-winning performance. Too bad it wasn’t an actual movie. /sarc sort of”
Her responses were unreal, and only she could get away with those responses as the mediots want her to become our next president.
“how many Americans were there the night of the attack.
A source now tells CNN that number was 35, with as many as seven wounded, some seriously.
While it is still not known how many of them were CIA, a source tells CNN that 21 Americans were working in the building known as the annex, believed to be run by the agency.”
bttt
It will look worse if the CIA was giving radical Islamists nerve agents to use on their own people, so Assad could be blamed, and a Gulf of Tonkin could be conjured up. Especially if any of those radical Islamists also had Al Qaida links, and we didn’t control the nerve agents at all times.
Whatever the weapons, it would explain why this specific target, at this specific time was chosen, and why Obama hid, and hoped nobody would notice anything happened, rather than give the cross-border authority. Maybe Assad found out and had no choice but to act, maybe Al Qaida found out and wanted the weapons.
It might also explain why they tried to tar Petraeus, blaming him for the stand-down order, and then took him out when he resisted. They needed somebody on board to control it all, and oppress the lower ranking officers.
Whatever this is, it has the ability to do great damage, if the CIA higher-ups are this scared.
I wonder if Petraeus even knows what it is?

CNN is only 11 months late....
Reuters report - the day after:
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/09/12/libya-ambassador-battle-idAFL5E8KCMYB20120912
“Having been told to expect 10 Americans and having found 37, Obeidi did not have enough vehicles to break out, despite having one heavy anti-aircraft gun mounted on a pickup truck.”
Hmmm...So Reuters says 37. CNN says 35. 37 - 2 (KIA) = 35.
Maybe the media is getting this straight after all. At least the numbers from 11 months apart are starting to align.
Did this group report to the DDI or DDO? DDI would mean just intel gathering. DDO - an ‘operation’. A big ‘operation’. A really big ‘operation’ with almost 40 people on-site at one time? That would mean hundreds of support people off-site.
And someone thought it was not going to get out?
Satire or just plain Mount Bullsh!!— This heap makes the Matterhorn look like a gravel pile. Nothing about this story smacks of being real. It’s simply not news that there was a US CIA facility nearby. Could be it’s all news to CNN? The only useful aspect I see here is that CNN is actually talking about Beengazi. Maybe they now see this as less damaging to the obamagovt than the actual krap going on in DC?
Good catch. Thanks
Great question! A Call to Duty, with a long past due answer, by anyone in such a position.
“How long until government agents with honor of country speak up and do what is right?”
If they do will the embedded political elite to national security state call them traitors or whistle blowers, and will they then need to beg Russia for asylum?
that is simple and well known, It was a hit on Ghadaffy to take all of the wealth held in foriegn banks around the world, it was a bailout for the EU that profited the most,It was a gangsta robbery pure and simple
You can use those words together?
