CIA Files From Benghazi: Now in the Hands of Al Qaeda?
AIM ^ | February 14, 2014 | Clare Lopez

Posted on 02/14/2014 11:44:45 AM PST by detective

The U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) released its Review of the Terrorist Attacks on U.S. Facilities in Benghazi, Libya, September 11-12, 2012 [1] on January 15, 2014.

One of the most disturbing sections in the entire report comes on page 42, where the report cites then-FBI Director Robert Mueller in testimony before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies telling Congress that “as many as 15 individuals supporting the investigation or otherwise helpful to the United States have been killed in Benghazi since the attacks [1] [of September 11, 2012].”

While Director Mueller rightly noted the “lawless and chaotic circumstances in eastern Libya [1],” the SSCI report also added that “It is unclear whether their killings were related to the Benghazi investigation [1].”

While calling post-Qaddafi Libya “lawless and chaotic” is something of an understatement, the SSCI’s suspicions about these particular killings and the possibility that they could be connected to the Benghazi investigation should be noted and noted carefully.

The identity of these individuals has not been revealed publicly, but it is certain that the SSCI and the Intelligence Community for which it holds oversight responsibility know who they were. And while it is certainly possible that each and every one of these 15 killings can be explained by the continuing battles among the Al Qaeda militias that led the uprising against former Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, the possibility that these are targeted killings – assassinations – must also be considered, even as the SSCI seems to hint that it has thought of this, too.

Some people view truth as a dangerous thing that must be concealed. Just saying.

THE FOREIGNER and MRS. WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE sat for several weeks like a deer looking into the headlights so shell shocked of the event while trying to come up with the POLITICAL SPIN to save their lying rear ends while Al Qaeda moved in the burglarized the place. That the kind of people we have leading this country. A vote for Hillary in 2016 will be nothing but 4 MORE YEARS OF THE FOREIGNER

Let me put on a tin-foil hat for one moment.....

Let's say, for the sake of argument, the material on the scene was not left behind due to negligence. They may contain information as to why the personnel were actually there, like....oh, say....gunrunning to Syria or discussing the release of the Blind Sheik for some concession.

If that kind of information fell into AQ's hands and they released it, who would want to be on their side?

I opened this thread to read it, but after the first two sentences I was so angry I had to scroll past it to keep my sanity. Please, let the nightmare in our country end soon. Please, Dear Lord.

There's a reason the regime has attempted to hide the identities of the perps of Benghazi.. They know something.. They know too much.. They know things that could seriously threaten members of this administration and land them in Federal Prison for life.

What about the Muslim Brotherhood? There's evidence they were among the attackers in Benghazi. It's on video! What orders had they gotten from Morsi?; to take Stevens hostage in exchange for release of the Blind Sheik? Was Hillary in on this? Is this why Hillary sent Stevens to a dangerous place for Americans on the most dangerous day of the year for Americans then essentially stripped him of any effective security??? Isn't it obvious he was set up by Hillary??????

They murdered four Americans and ran the United States out of Benghazi with our tail between our legs. So we re-elected Obama.

"the material on the scene was not left behind due to negligence. They may contain information as to why the personnel were actually there, like....oh, say....gunrunning to Syria or discussing the release of the Blind Sheik for some concession."

Exactly. But I think more important is the names of people working with the U.S.

The classified material was given to and or taken by Al Qaeda. As a result Al Qaeda has the names of probably every U.S. asset or ally who helped out. That is why so many people involved with Benghazi have been killed since the attack.

From the article:

“the deaths under undisclosed circumstances of 15 individuals who had been at some point “supporting the investigation” in the months following the attack, after a known Al Qaeda jihadi (al-Chalabi) personally couriered materials from the CIA Annex to Al Qaeda core leadership, would at least suggest that maybe Al Qaeda has gotten its hands on some names—names belonging to people they do not want speaking with U.S. authorities.”

In short the Obama Administration has done more harm than they or the MSM will admit. And it appears all they care about is covering it up and ridiculing people who are concerned about it.

I remember reading in Startfor about many individuals in the police dept in Benghazi and several high ranking security officials in the Libyan Gov that were gunned down execution style in a three month period late last summer. This explains what happened. The list must have been shared with the brotherhood in Egypt prior to the revolt. The committee needs to get to the security people in Egypt as it is in both of their interests to expose the connection between the two.

I will see if I can find those articles
