A spokesman for the CIA is criticizing the Michael Bay movie "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" as a "distortion of the events and people who served in Benghazi that night."
The spokesman, Ryan Trapani, was quoted in an exclusive Washington Post story, which also features an interview with the CIA chief in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012, when Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others were killed in a siege of the diplomatic compound and attack on the CIA annex.
"No one will mistake this movie for a documentary," Tripani told the Post. "It's a distortion of the events and people who served in Benghazi that night. It's shameful that, in order to highlight the heroism of some, those responsible for the movie felt the need to denigrate the courage of other Americans who served in harm's way."

This “Bob” guy, who unlike the 3 guys s who ran to the sound of the guns, and who will not come out of the shadows, is nothing more than a mouth for Hillary and Obama!
He’s just “Following Orders”.
Didn’t Brennan convert to Islam in 2012???????
Precisely. If he wants to talk distortion, let’s talk Hillary’s lies to the family, and Susan Rice and Barack Obama lying to the public about a video. They left those people to die in Benghazi for their own personal political benefit. Now late emails are saying that the military did have troops ready to go and the State Department gave no permission for a rescue mission. It was part of the Obama narrative that terrorism was dead - and that was a complete lie, and Benghazi proved it. The contempt they showed for the American citizen, to proffer baldface lies to every citizen, on every medium that only served to help their political careers, and then slept while these men gave up their lives protecting America.
So this complaint is fraudulent.
I'll field that question.
I went to a 7:20pm showing on Sat., and only the front row was empty. And I live in a purple part of NYS.
“the audience was silent at the end.”
the same faces I saw at the end of Passion of the Christ. No one wanted to talk..
The cia works for the traitor. The traitor allowed Americans to die so as not to annoy his true friends. I expect no truth from the traitor or his minions.
Seriously? Richard Jewell and Steven Hatfill immediately come to mind. The FBI's absolute refusal to investigate anything Clinton related is another reason I think the FBI is nothing more than an elected official's attack dog..
This is so utterly pathetic journalism. Really? Think the people who are guilty are going to go “Oh yeah, we screwed this up big time”
We know from Hillary’s emails there was a rescue effort “spinning up”.
Who stopped that rescue effort an why? Could it be that O was more worried about a “Blackhawk Down” incident less their 60 days from his re-election then doing his duty as CIC?
Actress Valerie Hobson was married to Profumo from 1954 until her death in 1998.
Because all those spec ops warriors who were there are such liars and without the slightest shred of honor.
Where were the CIA spokesmen when that Valerie Plame movie came out a few years ago?
And yet liberals do that all the time with the horseshiite that fat slob moore excretes. And I would trust this way beyond moore's excrement.

Interesting: the libs barely stirred over the book. For the movie from same, different story.
Maybe its “An Inconvenient Truth”
There are some that believe they both do :)
So who shut down the air support that was clearly available early on?
All military experts agree that our guy was lazing the targets for an airstrike, and would NEVER have done so without clear understanding that those assets were overhead.
a distortion doesn’t mean it’s not true...
The flak is always the heaviest when you're directly over the target ...
