Not that this comes as a surprise to anyone.
http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/2013/08/01/exclusive-dozens-of-cia-operatives-on-the-ground-during-benghazi-attack/?hpt=hp_inthenews
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.
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.
In other words, the rate of the kind of polygraphs alleged by sources is rare.
"If somebody is being polygraphed every month, or every two months it's called an issue polygraph, and that means that the polygraph division suspects something, or they're looking for something, or they're on a fishing expedition. But it's absolutely not routine at all to be polygraphed monthly, or bi-monthly," said Baer.
CIA spokesman Dean Boyd asserted in a statement that the agency has been open with Congress.
"The CIA has worked closely with its oversight committees to provide them with an extraordinary amount of information related to the attack on U.S. facilities in Benghazi," the statement said.
"CIA employees are always free to speak to Congress if they want," the statement continued. "The CIA enabled all officers involved in Benghazi the opportunity to meet with Congress. We are not aware of any CIA employee who has experienced retaliation, including any non-routine security procedures, or who has been prevented from sharing a concern with Congress about the Benghazi incident."
Among the many secrets still yet to be told about the Benghazi mission, is just how many Americans were there the night of the attack.
A source now tells CNN that number was 35, with as many as seven wounded, some seriously.
While it is still not known how many of them were CIA, a source tells CNN that 21 Americans were working in the building known as the annex, believed to be run by the agency.
The lack of information and pressure to silence CIA operatives is disturbing to U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf, whose district includes CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
"I think it is a form of a cover-up, and I think it's an attempt to push it under the rug, and I think the American people are feeling the same way," said the Republican.
"We should have the people who were on the scene come in, testify under oath, do it publicly, and lay it out. And there really isn't any national security issue involved with regards to that," he said.
Wolf has repeatedly gone to the House floor, asking for a select committee to be set-up, a Watergate-style probe involving several intelligence committee investigators assigned to get to the bottom of the failures that took place in Benghazi, and find out just what the State Department and CIA were doing there.
More than 150 fellow Republican members of Congress have signed his request, and just this week eight Republicans sent a letter to the new head of the FBI, James Comey, asking that he brief Congress within 30 days.

In the aftermath of the attack, Wolf said he was contacted by people closely tied with CIA operatives and contractors who wanted to talk.
Then suddenly, there was silence.
"Initially they were not afraid to come forward. They wanted the opportunity, and they wanted to be subpoenaed, because if you're subpoenaed, it sort of protects you, you're forced to come before Congress. Now that's all changed," said Wolf.
Lawmakers also want to know about the weapons in Libya, and what happened to them.
Speculation on Capitol Hill has included the possibility the U.S. agencies operating in Benghazi were secretly helping to move surface-to-air missiles out of Libya, through Turkey, and into the hands of Syrian rebels.
It is clear that two U.S. agencies were operating in Benghazi, one was the State Department, and the other was the CIA.
The State Department told CNN in an e-mail that it was only helping the new Libyan government destroy weapons deemed "damaged, aged or too unsafe retain," and that it was not involved in any transfer of weapons to other countries.
But the State Department also clearly told CNN, they "can't speak for any other agencies."
The CIA would not comment on whether it was involved in the transfer of any weapons.

The funny thing is that liberals view Watergate as this landmark moment, like they struck some kind of victory for freedom. The biggest government scandal in the history of blah, blah, blah.
This shit happens and those same people are like.....meh. I guess they aren't as concerned about cover ups, retaliation and abuse of power as they pretended to be all those years.

Works both ways, as far as the dummies go.
Too bad the rest of us are caught between such idiots.

If you spy on another country for your living, the possibility of getting killed is part of the deal.

I love how every liberal and Obama supporter denied all he allegations and accused Fox News of a witch hunt.. Now CNN is joining in.. Late.. Very late but at least they are seeing the truth.. This will get ugly.. Just watch..

Regardless, our government has an obligation to protect our embassies and US citizens abroad. Not only that, if we leave them out there to get slaughtered our government should not be permitted to lie about what they did or didn't do about it. Nor should they be allowed to threaten, intimidate and retaliate against witnesses. If people don't understand why these things are important then we are in a world of shit.
If Bush was president and this happened how do you think it would have played out in the press? Front page news everyday. Reporters flocking to the middle east on fact finding missions. Documentary films would be made about it immediately. Marches, protests, impeachment. Bush would be the new Nixon except worse. A monster so vile that he'd hardly be able to show his face anywhere.

Trying to make sense to an irrational, Obama worshipping, communist isn't a good use of your time. I'm not judging you because at times even I can't resist the urge to do it. I'm just sympathizing with your plight.

the ppl at the embassy were killed in an accident as well no one knew a sneak attack was coming and they knew lybia was dangerous and they took the high paying job it ended sadly though in an accident.

Absolutely not true. The lybian govt told us that night is was a well coordinated terrorist attack and we have pkenty of warning by virtue of smaller attacks at the embassy. Additionally it was on the anniversary of 9/11 and we made a decision to forego security in order not to upset local mooooslims.
Finally - since that terrorist attack - we hhave not so much as tried to even capture of those involved and one of the terrorists was on CNN on an interview laughing at us as recently as this week
-
your wrong its muslims and not all are terrorist 2nd he was laughing at usa network interviewing him lol usa is a joke around the world now who wouldnt laugh at them?

Welcome to the future America, you asked for it, you got it! If you nice, traditional, civilized folks don't finish slitting your own throats fast enough, someone will be there soon to help you.

The creepy thing IMO is that CNN is actually reporting on this.
What's their agenda? The MSM never goes against the grain

Do not dare criticize our first black presidents actions , he is a national treasure and should always be treated as such no matter what suspicious actions happens under his watch. Remember this is the most transparent administration in history no matter what it may look like.
