CNN: Dozens of CIA Operatives in Benghazi During Attacks

There allegedly were dozens of CIA operatives on the ground during the attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Libya on Sept. 11, 2012, CNN reported Thursday.

And the spy agency is doing everything it can to conceal its involvement, the network reports.

According to sources cited by CNN, some CIA operatives who were involved in the Benghazi mission have been polygraphed every month since January to determine whether anyone might be talking to Congress or the media.



The sources described the efforts to CNN as pure intimidation — even threats to end the careers of unauthorized leakers.

"You have no idea the amount of pressure being brought to bear on anyone with knowledge of this operation," one source told CNN.

"You don't jeopardize yourself, you jeopardize your family as well," another told the network.

U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans died in the Benghazi attacks.

Many Capitol Hill Republicans – particularly Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, John McCain of Arizona, and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire – have repeatedly charged that the Obama White House, the State Department, and other federal agencies have barred those who worked in Benghazi during the attacks from testifying before Congress.

But CIA spokesman Dean Boyd told CNN in a statement that the agency "has worked closely with [Congress’s] oversight committees" and that "CIA employees are always free to speak to Congress if they want."

He added the agency was unaware of any retaliation against any employee, or of any employees being prevented from "sharing a concern with Congress about the Benghazi incident."

One source told CNN that 35 Americans were at the Benghazi mission, and as many as seven were wounded in the attack, some seriously.

Another said 21 were working in the "annex" building, which is believed to have been run by the CIA and to which Americans fled after the State Department's diplomatic installation was attacked.

The CIA also has declined to comment on speculation that U.S. agencies in Benghazi were moving portable surface-to-air missiles out of Libya, through Turkey, and into the hands of Syrian rebels.

The State Department has denied that any of its employees were involved in such an operation, saying they were only helping the new Libyan government to secure such weapons within the country, CNN reports.

CNN ?? Isn't that something, actually reporting a negative on Ostupid. They better be careful, their illustrious leader will come un trained on them!!!

I read this as the CIA (who operates covertly) had boots on the ground.......therefore the poor souls at the embassy were not abandoned, as everyone is claiming.  The CIA even experienced some casualties.  I can't imagine the CIA trying to keep their presence in Benghazi a secret.

I find it amazing how the Left continues to look the other way, even when stories like this lead credence to the argument that this was a cover up. The question is what?

Remember that when this story broke, the punch line from Secretary Rice, Hillarious, Obummer, and many others was that this was the result of a spontaneous uprising over an anti Muslim video. They lied to us then and they are lying to us now.

Now we are learning that there may have been many more Americans involved in this event from the CIA, but for some reason the CIA, the State Dept, the FBI, and the WH did not and to this day does not want this information coming out. One of the sources stated that all those involved with this incident are getting regular polygraph tests when historically the agency only does these tests once every several years.

We have a cover up happening right in front of us (so much for the most transparent GOV in history) and the Left-wing media is just standing idly by. Thank goodness there are more agencies picking up this story like CNN, CBS, and Fox.

Just one more little tid-bit to back up my argument that the Left-wing media could care less about Benghazi. If you look at the amount of time dedicated to the birth of the Royal Baby vs the amount of time dedicated to the Benghazi story over the last 4 months, the baby wins. Please note that the Royal Baby story has only been on the radar for the last month.

I suppose there's a first for everything.

Or, if you look at it from the other side......they finally got one wrong.  Personal agendas are what drives people......All people say they want the TRUTH....as they see it, of course.  As always, just my opinion.

​The CIA was busy delivering survivalist essentials to the militant groups overthrowing Libya

At the orders of the POTUS

Those don't look like American weapons, but......I've been wrong before.

You left out the part about the military being ordered to "stand down" when they were preparing to depart and help the people at the Embassy.

You left out the part about where Obummer and Hilarious were at the time - info missing from their daily agendas.

Yeah, folks, remember this.  The next election will be about electing Hillarious - will she continue in HIS footsteps?  Much to cover up!

Unlike the American public they still get their choice with our administration.

 "The USA is looking out for their best interest"

[desimo]

If Obama has nothing to hide then why are the survivors being treated like people in a witness protection operation with a new name and relocated as well as being forced to sign non-discloser statements.

[R2D2]

The best interest fis for the American people. Not what's best for the present regime. When it all shakes out we the people will be embarrassed we elected this thugmarxistimposterarragant birth certificate less 1/2 breed president. Just my humble opinion.
