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.

SAD SOG all over Cyrenaica
Dumb man. Media heard it loud and clear as a ludicrous denial of something Obama is very much afraid of.
This is nothing short of a disaster for Obama, it makes him look clueless and also a blatant liar as to why no rescue team were sent in.
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.
The big thing is what was Obama doing the night of the 11th?
Evidently he was not to be disturbed.
Why?
And plausible deniability can only be a small part of the answer.
I think this is the key that unlocks much.
I have a feeling this is actual reporting and I’m amazed.
Wonder what David Petraeus is thinking right abou now...
Aw.. it’s just a internecine purge of the non faithful..
The Gospel of Obama MUST BE preached..
Federal Agencys are SHRINES to his wonderfulness..
If you even “think” Michele is a “WOOKIE” you’re GONE...
Whats really dangerous “IS” the junta that installed “the black” Barny Fife as President..
They are Evil as Hell but extremely intelligent.. bordering on genius..
I mean, you must be, to pull off something like that..
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. Face it, we’re stuck with Obama for the next 3 1/2 years.
I would think that would look terrible to the American people.
At EVERY step in this YEAR LONG, unsolved mystery called Benghazi, 0bama has stonewalled, delayed, denied, refused, stood down, lied, covered-up at every turn. Something VERY EXTREMELY DAMNING and BEYOND BELIEVABLE was going on there. Perhaps the CIA had that thing Obama HATES going on there: A SECRET CIA PRISON? Lots of graybars in those Greg Palkot videos!!
Me? I'm sticking with the 'hostage-taking of Stevens so Obama could release the Blind Sheik to fulfill Morsi's demands' theory..
To me, this is all more smoke & mirrors.
Fact: Obama refused to issue Cross Border Authority, ergo Obama deliberately let these people die!
Nothing else matters.
I guess it doesn't look good if Obama is arming his Muslim Terrorist Spring buddies.
I agree. Never bought into the swap talk.
My bet is that target was the Iraqi WMD’s that Russia helped smuggle out of Iraq and into Syria pre-invasion.
We wanted to gain control of them to make sure that they never surfaced. If they were found, GWB’s war would be justifiable. That would kill the libs to admit.
By the way, doesn't stonewalling and obstructing justice for nearly a year on Benghazi "look terrible to the American people" too? He doesn't care.
Gee and golly news as it happend? So old, what does it matter four dead in a phony scandal??? gads
I’ve always been puzzled by the theory as well. A US ambassador is kidnapped. Then to get him back, we swap him for the blind sheik. And that would be perceived as a foreign policy success?
A kidnapped ambassador, dealing with terrorists and submitting to their blackmail. Hardly stuff you want to add to your resume just a few weeks shy of an election.
