The television network said that a CIA team was working in an annex near the consulate on a project to supply missiles from Libyan armouries to Syrian rebels.

So we're (by we're I mean our out of control executive) trying to arm radical Islamists in Syria but our operation gets trashed by radical Islamists in Lybia?

Wow.

I'd love to know who those "sources" are.

I bet Obama would too.

If the CIA was running an operation out of Benghazi, was the attack on the embassy aimed at them? Why would Islamist militants attack the CIA for supplying their brethren in another country trying to overthrow their dictator?

The CNN story is thin as well. Obama's record says whistle-blowers keep your heads down.

We knew at the time this was not an embassy, or a consulate, but a CIA operations house. Hitchens went there to try to clear the place out, because it had no (relative)defenses, and he had good rapport with the locals.

What was the CIA was doing there? (heel-click)CIA stuff, Sir. (salute)

Well yea, it's the middle east the MOST factious place in the world.

Well Joe, I guess you have to keep a sense of humor about some things.
