we know the names of those who died... .. but not the length they went to do their duty..


Glen Doherty, a former Navy SEAL and CIA security contractor, was with a team of Joint Special Operations Command military operators and CIA agents in Tripoli at the time of the attack. When they received word of the assault on the mission, Doherty and six others bribed the pilots of a small jet with $30,000 cash for a ride to Benghazi.

At about 5:15 a.m., right after Doherty's group arrived, the attackers began shooting mortars at the annex, leading to the death of Doherty and fellow former Navy SEAL and CIA contractor Tyrone Woods.

So the CIA's response to go to the annex — after being held back for 20 minutes — saved American lives, but it also ended up exposing their covert presence.

there is more to this story... and I believe that the state department / CIA was knee deep in smuggling weapons....

but what else was going on?

The top-secret presence and location of the CIA outpost was first acknowledged by Charlene Lamb, a top official in the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security, during Congressional testimony in October.

Representatives Jason Chaffetz and Darrell Issa immediately called a point of order when Lamb exposed the location of the annex, and asked for the revelation to be stricken from the record.

“I totally object to the use of that photo,” Chaffetz. said. “I was told specifically while I was in Libya I could not and should not ever talk about what you’re showing here today.”

if we already know about the cover up.. the CIA annex.. and the gun running.. why get so upset about just mentioning it...upset enough to strike it from the record...

Rancher,

I might be way off base about this, but I think that I know what photo, or what kind of photo they were talking about.

When this mess first broke, either Earthlink or Fox News was carrying a photo of the burned out interior of the building. I would swear in a court of law that I saw a jail cell in the middle of that room. Metal jail bars from floor to ceiling. I wondered at the time why there would be a jail in a consulate (or whatever the proper word is for this facility).

That photo disappeared and I never saw it again. I think that someone has scrubbed the photos of the interior of that building.
