Benghazi Whistleblower: I’ve Been ‘Punished’ for Speaking Out
The Corner ^ | September 8, 2013 | Andrew Johnson

Posted on 09/08/2013 12:46:01 PM PDT by yoe

Gregory Hicks, the former Deputy Chief of Mission in Libya who testified before Congress about the 9/11 attacks on an American diplomatic facility earlier this year, believes he has been “punished” for speaking out about the Obama administration’s response the night of the attack. He said he believes at least two of the Americans lost that night could have been saved if the United States had responded in time.

“I don’t know why I was punished,” Hicks said in an interview with ABC’s This Week. “I don’t know why I was shunted aside, put in a closet if you will.”

Hick said he will continue to talk about the attacks because “the American people need to have the story” of what took place that night and the four Americans who were lost in the attacks “should be remembered.” He also believes that former Navy SEALS Ty Woods and Glen Doherty, who died eight hours after the initial attack on the diplomatic mission, could have been saved.

While Hicks still remains on staff at the State Department, he has not been reassigned to a post since being called back from Libya. In a statement to This Week, the State Department said Hicks was not removed from Libya as a result of the statements he has made about the Benghazi attacks and is working on reassigning him.

(Abu Khattala)....video

Mr. Khattala, has spoken 3 times on various news programs...the Feds say they can't find him...truth is if he were brought to trial via extradition, he has the right to counsel and then can depose witnesses......the USA powers that be don't want Mr. Khattala to tell what he knows or call witnesses...i.c., CIA folks in Benghazi at the time?

Obama wants us top back him about Syria/Iran...to trust BHO now, is a little nuts...trusting someone who is a consummate liar doesn't make sense. Obama is more than a narcissist,along with that is his dangerously enlarged ego....the man is not well in the head.

Of course, they can’t get rid of him yet (one way or the other), and so they’ll keep him on the pay roll, assign him a cubicle, but not give him any actual job to do except for counting paperclips.

Pure unObamulterated bullshit.

It’s Barry’s “fundamentally transformed” government. You can say anything you like, just don’t say anything you don’t like.

It’s a fiscal scandal if the State Dept. pays a guy for more than a year before (maybe) re-assigning him.
