Phony Scandal Update: Benghazi

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.
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.

The families of the dead Americans would disagree.

Oh right.

Because the GOP care about the families of the dead, right?

They're not trying to politicize this to death because of their HUGE hatred of Obama, right?

Give me a break, they don't care.

[tpeichel]

I care and you should care.

What was going on over there? Were they running guns? I thought the brilliant one was going to get us disentangled from the Middle East with his "smart diplomacy"?

Interesting after the previous behavior of this administration...

David Burge ‏@iowahawkblog 2 Aug So the CIA is giving agents lie detector tests to make sure agents aren't telling the truth. MIND=BLOWN

I DID care, now I don't.

Because it's over.

Because the GOP like always politicize everything for their own advantage and not because they genuinely care.

They don't....not one bit.

They never did.

They are only focused on making Obama look bad.
