Why would you assume they were CIA operatives? Please clarify.

The Wall Street Journal has reported that most of the staff at Benghazi were CIA operatives.

What were they doing?

The Libyan government had recently been overthrown. Libya produces a particularly valuable "sweet crude" oil. The American government would be interested in what factions were seizing power in the turmoil left after Gaddafi was overthrown, and having CIA operatives on the ground to gather that intelligence would be a priority, I would think. Moreover, doing anything to support American interests at that crucial time would also be a reason to have CIA operatives on the ground in Libya. And having a location to put together that information, for operatives to share information with one another, to compare notes, to figure out puzzling information, to transmit or store information so that it could be transferred to the United States would be necessary, I would think.

Of course we will. Libs have no clue how much the truth matters.

[MOD CUT/off topic] He couldn't care less about Benghazi and dead ambassadors.

I saw the video live the other day but know that few Fox watchers are here so I offer all the chance to see what Graham said in the interview. Obama either tells the story or someday will be proved a liar. Of course, he thinks the media letting him have a pass will win out and I don't believe it will, in the end.


Obama Hiding Benghazi Survivors' Identities
Absolutely right on.

Transparency does not mean destroying the careers of CIA personnel by blowing their covers.

How about they dont make public the names of these people, but let the Senate question them? Somehow, Im sure you liberals and Obama would be against that too.

But seeing how you dont give a damn about Obama's inaction and failure to do anything the night of the attack, it wouldnt matter to you what would come out of questioning anyone else. You just dont give a damn. Your party, your messiah, your agenda is a lot more important to you than anything else.

Is this the Valerie Plame you are referring to?

Default Obama is hiding the identities of the Benghazi survivors from the Senate.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't CNN Crossfire anchor Bob Novak have something to do with the outing of her?

The Senate knows why the names will not be released. The questions have nothing to do with Bengazi.
