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.

It’s an onion...just keep peeling off layers.
But what difference does it make...she’s going to be President!

I've heard that, but find it hard to believe it would have been effective. How would releasing the Blind Sheik excite Americans to vote for Obama that wouldn't have anyway (because he's Dem and Black)?
CNN interviewed one of the attackers. This has nothing to do with what an attacker would know. This is a smokescreen, folks. This is not THE news.

CIA operatives are being subjected to threats via polygraph results of leaking information.
35 Americans were there that day
They mention the weapons running operation
It’s called “foreign policy bounce”. Something Obama needed to convert those ‘on the fence’ for Romney.
Modified, limited hangout.
I don’t think it would have worked.
Besides, Romney was an awful pick. The Mormon mystery just turned a lot of people off—they didn’t feel like they had a handle on the guy.
Why is CNN following this phony scandal?
That’s what I was thinking. It looks like CNN is really ginning up the phoniness on this to make these allegations.
Monthly polygraphs is news, George. Whacko theories are not.Obama's handlers are not stupid people. Releasing a terrorist under such circumstance is mega stupid.
Morsi had been vowing to Egypt that he would get the Blind Sheik released. He promised Egypt he would. This was a months long campaign. Morsi was in bed with Hillary at that time. Obama/Hillary were doing this for him. That was a factor, I believe.
Get a grip. It was an offensive video that caused the uproar, and nothing more. Jay Carney said so.
“Someone please explain how trading an ambassador for the Blind Sheik would make Obama “look good”?
“I would think that would look terrible to the American people.
YES! This! I want to believe this theory, but certainly getting a US Ambassador kidnapped and releasing a terrorist doesn’t make Obama look good. Yes, someone explain this.
Whenever the Regime whines about Snowden someone should ask about Benghazi because on that 9/11 national security was not a top priority.
I don’t discount the possibility that O and Hillary wanted to do this. I just find it hard to believe that the American public that isn’t already in the bag for the Dems would have viewed this as a great foreign policy success.
Or the start of a bright future as the next Libyan ambassador, maybe even Syrian!
You are assuming we still have democratic organs left in America. You might be assuming too much. I think we have not only reached the stage, but have passed it. We are just about living in a post freedom America.
It was weapons-running gone wrong that night for whatever reason and it involves high levels of the State Dept (Hillary), CIA and WH (Obama). Hillary and Obama would have rather let every one of those people die to cover up their operation than to save them and that’s why there was no urge to rescue anyone. They both had alot to lose if the weapons running were exposed immediately - Obama and the election - Hillary and her legacy and future ambition for the WH. It’s odd that all three people - Obama, Hillary and Panetta were in D.C. that night of the attack but none of them communicated or coordinated during the attack according to Panetta but were doing their own thing.
