Exclusive: CIA Honored Benghazi Chief in Secret Ceremony
The Daily Beast ^ | May 21, 2013 | Eli Lake

Posted on 05/21/2013 4:30:07 AM PDT by don-o

At a secret February ceremony at CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., the chief of the CIA’s base in Benghazi the night of the 9/11 anniversary attacks there was awarded one of the agency’s highest intelligence medals, according to U.S. military and intelligence officials.

The honor given behind closed doors to “Bob,” the officer who was in charge of the Benghazi intelligence annex and CIA base that was attacked in the early morning of September 12, 2012 and then abandoned for nearly three weeks, illustrates the murky lines of command that preceded the attack, and helped make it a politically volatile issue. While the State Department was responsible for elements of the security for the diplomatic mission at Benghazi, the mission itself was used primarily for intelligence activities and most the U.S. officials there and at the nearby annex were CIA officers who used State Department cover.

Article mentions upcoming closed door hearings. Other threads are up about more potential whistle bloweres. This is not going away.

It had better not go away. It is the Grand Pubah of scandals. If they were willing to expose the IG investigation and why it was investigated, consider just how bad Benghazi really is.

Never mind the AP also morphing into conspiracy charges against Rubin. They are desperate to keep Benghazi off point one. Desperation will lead to mistakes and those mistakes will lead to a constitutional crisis when he sends out his “domestic force funded and equipped equal to our military” to declare himself as King.

This is not going to be very pretty at all. I get this sinking feeling that is where he is headed now. Especially when considering his Morehouse speech lat weekend. I saw it as an initial “call to arms” against this country.

“call to arms”?

I think the citizens have long ago heard that, but not from Obozo.

Listen to his speech and you will get what I meant. The “call to arms” was meant as a reference to his “domestic force”.

Bring on the Whistleblowers. Where would they work that they wouldn’t be covered by the Whistleblower law???

Obama is going to rue the day he tried to blame this on the CIA.

Just waiting for someone to leak his BC info...not sure it will ever get that far.

Will those be transparent doors or opaque with sound proofing?

When government goes behind closed doors after an event occurs nothing good can possibly come out.

Closed doors are for planning events in the military but crooks and traitors want big thick, sound proof opaque doors for all their assaults on the citizens. We, after all are only needed to keep the ruling elite in power and to provide the money for their Palace lifestyle.

Yes, I understood that.

My point is the citizens did not need a call to arms from the Government. They already heard their own.

Perhaps some relatively recent history is of interest

The Battle Of Athens Or How Common Citizens Removed A Corrupt Government From Their County.

The cia seems to have some internal disagreements about the way things were handled in Benghazi by their own people. Some unhappy campers. This might yet explode.

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

Question for my list. Should I expand to include ALL the scandals or just stick to Benghazi?

Yes, yesterday I watched the video that someone posted on that link.

Had previously read about it, but had not seen the video.

I would say, stick to Benghazi... there are too many scandals for one person to keep track of. But thanks for the offer.

You already have an incredibly heavy workload. I'd feel guilty about asking you to do even more.

I keep files of articles that hammer out certain ideas. I've used your posts to bring those ideas across. People are reluctant to face facts, so three sets of people don't speak to me any more. If I were smarter, I could have brought the points across while keeping channels of communication open. Thank you for all that you do!

10-4. We, of the well regulated militia know the call because it was meant more against the government, not for it.
