WASHINGTON - U.S. intelligence efforts in Libya have suffered a significant setback due to the abandonment and exposure of a facility in Benghazi, Libya identified by a newspaper as a "CIA base" following a congressional hearing this week, according to U.S. government sources.(Snip) The publication of satellite photos showing the site's location and layout have made it difficult, if not impossible, for intelligence agencies to reoccupy the site, according to government sources, speaking on condition of anonymity.

This is to perpetuate the narrative that this is all just a partisan attack -it’s weak.

Deadly Attack in Libya Was Major Blow to C.I.A. Efforts Sept. 23, 2012Among the more than two dozen American personnel evacuated from the city after the assault on the American mission and a nearby annex were about a dozen C.I.A. operatives and contractors, who played a crucial role in conducting surveillance and collecting information on an array of armed militant groups in and around the city.

A raid on a funeral gathering bags a dozen al-Qaeda operatives - and one additional surprise, a reporter with Reuters press credentials and his cameraman/boyfriend.

Glen Beck had a story about the facility and the fact that the personnel there were on an intel mission, not ambassadorial security WITHIN a COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER THE ATTACK.
People criticize Beck as a dummy windbag, but he’s appears to have info to back up his stories most of the time.
