The Attack in Benghazi: Worth Investigating After All
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/08/the-attack-in-benghazi-worth-investigating-after-all/278299/#comments
Suddenly it is imperative that Congress investigate details surrounding the attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens. I've never felt that way before. But Drew Griffin's scoop* changed my mind.
A bit of background: On September 11, 2012, Stevens and three other Americans were killed at a U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, touching off perhaps the strangest political controversy in recent years. For reasons I'll never understand, many Republicans thought that the attack, or the way the Obama Administration handled it, would prove a hugely effective cudgel in the upcoming election.
"It's disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions," Mitt Romney said, "but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks." Would anyone believe that Obama really sympathized with the attackers? Even if Susan Rice's controversial talking points were wrong, would Americans care? How many voters would hold an inability to stop an attack on Americans in Libya against Obama? Like many people, I figured anti-American radicals had launched the attack, guessed that Obama was as upset about it as anyone, and didn't blame him or Hillary Clinton for failing to secure a diplomatic outpost in an unstable country. I opposed Team Obama's reelection for totally unrelated reasons.
I am surprised that leftist leaning The Atlantic is saying Benghazi is worth investigating.

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.
FOX reported that those on the ground that night have signed "new" secrecy agreements, have been moved across the country and given new names.
What is so secret they have to do all this?

Isn't there anyone with an ounce of integrity to do the right thing left in this country?

If true it would dwarf Fast and Furious. And even that should have put Holder or someone higher in jail.

SOURCE: CIA Was Smuggling Weapons to Syrian Rebels During Benghazi Embassy Attack
The CIA was smuggling weapons from Libyan weapons depots to the Syrian rebels during the 2012 attack on the US embassy in Benghazi. According to a report by CNN, an unnamed source has leaked that the alleged cover-up of the circumstances around the attack is to hide the reality of the smuggling, which occurred before the escalation of the Syrian civil war. This shows that the CIA has been arming the Syrian rebels since at least September 2012.
The agents were running the operation out of the Benghazi "annex," which has been reported as a secret safehouse of the CIA in the city, not far from the embassy. This development emerges just one day after reports of CIA intimidation on employees and foreign ground assets.

Is it possible that this, and other scandals WILL actually put Obumbles/Holder in jail for a very, very long time after their term is up? I mean, could everyone just be biding their time util they do their little walk of shame from 1600?
Picture it; They walk out the door, and officers are there with handcuffs, and a tiny bottle of lube for each of them as a parting gift. They infuriate me, and I realize this is just kind of fantasy on my part, but I REALLY wish it would happen. NO two men in history have done more to mess up our country in my lifetime.

Oh my
According to this, the Benghazi attack was a kidnap plot gone bad, in exchange for the blind sheik. And Morsi was behind it.
Sure would explain a lot and why people are afraid to come forward.

They would just claim that if it was legal for Regan and Oliver North to do it then what does it matter at this point?

Right, or like Hitlery said "What difference does it make ?".
