For example, at the news conference last week Obama was asked about progress in capturing the attackers. Neither Fox or the MSM would ask the Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid Question:
WHO ARE THESE GUYS?
And this thread dead-ended at 10 responses. No time to read one of the most important articles yet published on Benghazi. Yes it was a long article. It's a complex story. Nevertheless I'm disappointed in the FR response.
As to our conclusion that Obama agreed to the plan to swap Stevens for the Blind Sheik color me not yet convinced. But a Morsi initiative based on his hope that he could make a deal with Obama is certainly looking more and more likely everyday.
And Egyptian/Morsi involvement now looks to be very, very likely.
Be aware of a possible alternate theory: Morsi plus al Qaeda raiding the Consulate and Annex to secure surface to air missiles. A couple of threads on that subject today.

There's no proof -- as yet -- of any kidnapping plot. I understand that.
But something was going on in Benghazi that the administration is at great pains to avoid revealing. Gun-running alone is not a sufficient transgression to warrant the cover-up that's been mounted. As a defense, all they would have to do is shout "Iran-Contra" -- and all possible political penalty would melt away.
No, there has to be something bigger at work here. And a staged kidnapping and subsequent prisoner exchange seems to fit the known facts (and/or rumors). Though, I'll grant, it could well be something even more horrendous...
