A Brazen Figure in Benghazi Holds an Attack’s Secrets
New York Times ^ | June 17, 2014 | DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK

Money snip

What he did in the period just before the attack has remained unclear. But Mr. Abu Khattala told other Libyans in private conversations during the night of the attack that he was moved to attack the diplomatic mission to take revenge for an insult to Islam in an American-made online video. Continue reading the main story

An earlier demonstration venting anger over the video outside the American Embassy in Cairo had culminated in a breach of its walls, and it dominated Arab news coverage. Mr. Abu Khattala told both fellow Islamist fighters and others that the attack in Benghazi was retaliation for the same insulting video, according to people who heard him.

>> the attack in Benghazi was retaliation for the same insulting video

Hard hitting ... propaganda.

I assume the article is no more informative than the excerpt.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

He was the willing partner of The Regime then, and he is exactly that, now, too:

He turned himself in specifically to say this story —for how much? Who knows, we only know the price is high, though rest assured he’ll be swapped back.

WE CAN BE SURE HILLARY IS RUNNING.

Here is the other thing we know, owing to his ridiculous “video” claim:

IT WAS A PRE-ELECTION SWAP GONE BAD.

He will stand trial in US courts? Some questions.

Is there an extradition treaty with Libya?

Was a proper warrant signed by a federal judge issued for this guy?

Why do you think Gitmo is where these kind of folks were sent?

At this point in time, we should suspect that any "Major Figures" in the attack are being picked up so that they no longer can reveal why they REALLY were involved and who paid them!!!

Gee, the Slimes didn’t do this just in front of Hellery’s Fox News interview on purpose, did they?

“Roll in hot with the Muzzie video excuse, Hillary — the lapdog media have got your six!” (And what a huge six it is.)

so that they no longer can reveal...

I’m with ya on this. Nightly News says the guy is on a Navy ship, being interviewed by military intelligence.

Why not just fly the guy here.

Of course, a long relaxing sea-cruise would go a long way towards everyone getting their story straight.

And, in the style of our favorite Mafia traditions, his family back home will be ‘taken care of’...

So BamBam made a deal that went bad in 2012. He made another deal that also soured a bit with the prisoner for traitor exchange. Now he has a guy who has been walking around free as a bird for two years captured by Special Forces. And the next day the NYTimes says the guy was saying it was all because he was angry about a video on YouTube. Yup. So believable. Just like the email going POOF.

“The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.”

The education system needs to be on the list.

Well, there it is. The Benghazi question has been answered. Case closed. And he’s such a reliable witness. /s/

Why did this move now? 2 reasons:

1. Trey Gowdy plans to publicly question witnesses as to WHY Chris Stevens was in Benghazi? Obama and Hillary do NOT want that rock turned over publicly.

2. The revelation last week that the US had intercepted telephone calls of the terrorists using cell phones.
a. They do NOT want to reveal how we captured voice calls in real-time in Libya.
b. More importantly, we now know that the White House knew before the attack ended that it was a planned terrorists attack. Susan Rice’s testimony is now DEMONSTRABLY a planned lie. Which leads you back to point #1.

Why was Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi? What was the CIA doing?

I’d say the odds are better than 50/50 that the Obama Administration helped arm ISIS. We are living in a bizarre world. Had the media even gave a 1/4 second of thought that George Bush had done what Obama has done, the media would have been leading the demonstrations at the gates of the White House for Bush’s immediate arrest and impeachment.

Why do NY Times’ headlines read like an old Nancy Drew novel?
