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.

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.

It would be "proof" that Obama is not weak and impotent among foreign nations/relations, giving him and his people [not blacks, his supporters and allies: statists & socialists] something concrete to point to. It could even be mitigated/spun as regrettable, but necessary [to save the Ambassador's life]. A sort of See: the president does make hard choices to counter the [correct] perception that he's a constant-vacation bum.

Whether or not such a spin would be successful is a good question, but thankfully irrelevant.

Knowing what we know now about Republican voter suppression by the IRS by order of 0bama and the electronic magic the NSA is capable of throughout networks and the Internet, I’m thinking Romney couldn’t have won no matter how many votes he got. 0bama had no intention of leaving because he knew he’d win no matter what. Biden laughed throughout his debate because he knew that as well. He didn’t have to take any of it seriously. The fix was in.

Thank you for supporting the reasoning.. One has to imagine MSNBC, CNN, CBS, NBC, etc., showing Christopher Stevens photo, saying “the terrorists are going to kill him unless their demands are met”.. blah blah.. It would’ve been all to set Obama up as the King who saved the day two months before the election!! LIV’s applaud!!!!

0bama has been hellbent on covering Benghazi up for nearly a year..

Is this solely to protect Hillary for 2016?

I remember a few months ago someone somewhere stated that during one of the previous attacks, the group involved were shooting like a rocket-propelled grenade to test the Benghazi outpost to see if it had been hardened—and the group was Red Crescent from Iran. The poster stated that the group was being held at the Annex.

Why did Hillary and Obama use American taxpayer funded personnel, equipment and facilities to overthrow the government of Libya?

Hey,CNN—we figured all this out here on FreeRepublic before the sun rose on September 12th. You’re only 10.5 months late to the party.

Agreed, but it's still a good thing that this data is being revealed to the low info types on both sides of the divide.

This report not only reveals that our top intelligence agency was on the ground during the thick of things, but that the higher ups in that agency are now attempting to silence anyone in their employ who knows about it.

Look for Obama to immediately put distance between himself and the CIA. Carney will be along any minute to explain how Barry is "shocked.....shocked, I tell you!"

Someone's going under the bus for this. Guaranteed.

The big thing is what was Obama doing the night of the 11th?

The media and Congress aren't curious about his whereabouts that night. Why should we be?

Why did Hillary and Obama use taxpayer money to produce and distribute a commercial to the Middle East apologizing for that baloney video? They already knew that video had nothing to do with Benghazi. It was done to mislead American citizens.

Congress is going into recess.. they have five weeks to cover this up and I’m afraid this will amount to a whole lot of nothing.

"I'm Barack Obama, and I approve this message!"

They are trying real hard to hide this information and make this story disappear. If this was a phony scandal they wouldn't be trying so hard to silence people. I hope all those CIA operatives don't get on a plane or helicopter together. Dead men tell no tales.
