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.

People had better go to jail for this or our laws are meaningless. Why should I follow the law when these people literally get away with murder?

"Also in October we reported the connection between Ambassador Christopher Stevens, who died in the attack, and a reported September shipment of SA-7 surface-to-air anti-craft missiles (i.e. MANPADS) and rocket-propelled grenades from Benghazi to Syria through southern Turkey.

Wasn't Stevens purportedly meeting with a Turkish diplomat in Benghazi??

My theory is:

Qaddafi had piles of Saddam's WMD's. Was storing them for Saddam.

Selected CIA operations were there to "dispose" of them.

Can you imagine what would happen if Bush/Cheney would be proven to have been right about the WMDs?

Mark Levin just played an audio clip of Rand Paul asking Hillary about this Turkey connection in Senate committee testimony... her fumbling answer, feigning surprise, you’ll have to ask someone else about that — sure sounded like the evasive Hillary we know.

Yeah, if it embarrasses Obama, it’s phony. Actually, the phony is in the Oval Office, living on his own cloud.

CNN is fanning the flame of a cover-up in progress. SHOCK. WHY? Why now? Are they that envious of FOX news ratings?

That has been my suspicion for a long time....whatever it is, Obama is utterly desperate to deep-six the reality.

It seems to me like it was electioneering on the part of the administration. Something went terribly wrong in Libya and the administration concocted a story to cover up the failure. They should of briefed congress and went with the story that the bad guys attacked our consulate. Suggesting the attack was caused by a internet video was totally asinine.

"A listening post was set up and we were spying for them - or with them - or on them - on Israel - or Hillary - on the Sauds - against all agreements with everyone we make agreements with..."

Now THAT makes sense. The CIA has always been HATED by the Left since it was thought of as a "right-wing" puppet. But recent history shows that the CIA is run by and led by leftists.

When the liberal run CIA does bad things, just WHO is going to complain? The Left? The Media?

Nobody.

This isn't even a "secret" anymore.

Most reasonably smart people know that the CIA hasn't been "right-wing" in decades.

Senate Benghazi Hearing:
Senator Rand Paul asks Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at 0:23

Rand: "Now my question is -- is the U.S. involved with any procuring of weapons, transfer of weapons, buying, selling, anyhow transferring weapons to Turkey out of Libya?

Hillary: "To Turkey?!! I...I will have to take that question for the record, that's...nobody's ever raised that with me."

Rand: "It's been in news reports that ships have been leaving from Libya and that they may have weapons, and what I'd like to know is, the Annex that was close by, were they involved with procuring, buying, selling, obtaining weapons, and were any of these weapons being transferred to other countries, any countries, Turkey included."

Hillary: "Well, Senator, you'll have to direct...direct that question to, uh, the agency that, uh, ran the Annex. And I will...I will see what information is available, and uh..."

Rand: "You're saying you don't know."

Hillary: "I do not know. I don't have any information on that."

The same thing as Iraq. Evan’s defense attorneys were denied evidence and information and denied security clearances to access them on national security grounds. The Asymmetric Warfare Group and the CIA with their baiting program, etc. I think they are still running the same types of programs including Fast and Furious Syria style. And after thinking about it Stevens may have been led into a trap.

This coverup looks like T-R-E-A-S-O-N involved.
