Seriously, a newsie with a modicum of intelligence could eviscerate these government sources, day in, day out.
The 'secret' was only to be kept from the American people. Our enemies seem to have full access to all pertinent intelligence. The Muslim Brotherhood is fully ensconced in the State Department, Homeland Security and the Pentagon. That's my take... It's like drunk Secret Service agents - a sign of the times. If we're too stupid to keep the ME from being split between the Muslim Brotherhood and Hezbollah what are we paying these blowhards for?
This is from the article: "The State Department displayed a satellite photograph showing two locations - the rented villa that served as a special diplomatic mission and the compound that officials had cryptically described as an 'annex' or 'safe house' for diplomatic personnel."
Then there's this:
"When the satellite photo was displayed, a senior committee Republican, Representative Jason Chaffetz, complained that the discussion was drifting into 'classified issues that deal with sources and methods,' and the photo was removed from public display. No one at the hearing used the term 'CIA base' to describe the facility."
It would appear that the State Dept. is actually to blame for this photo even being introduced in a public hearing. No wonder we're in such deep doo doo.
It was exposed to the American people. Everyone in Benghazi knew about it.
