Report: CIA´s Benghazi Annex
a Detention, Interrogation Site

Breitbart Big Government, by John Sexton

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 11/12/2012 8:57:31 PM

Unnamed sources tell Fox News that the CIA Annex in Benghazi held three Libyan militia members for days and that retrieving these detainees may have been a motive for the September 11th attack on the nearby US consulate. The new reporting builds on details previously published by Fox´s Jennifer Griffin and information apparently leaked by ex-intelligence officer Paula Broadwell last month. Speaking on Fox News Monday, Griffin indicated new sources suggest the CIA annex may have been a detention site for local militia forces and even for some prisoners from other parts of Africa.

Did Petraeus tell Broadwell? He must have. Did Turkish General Counsel Akin know that Libyan militants were being detained and likely interrogated by the CIA?

Obama and Hillary who are suppose to be in charge, know nothing about anything. Why not? If they did know, they are lying which is what I think. If they didn´t, they should have. Obama´s finger is getting a workout these days as he is pointing it at everyone else. No wonder Hillary and Panetta have flown the coop and are in Australia. Wonder how long they will have to stay there?

Looking at Paula Broadwell´s talk, you have to conclude that she is a extremely poised and polished and accomplished speaker. She didn´t just let slip that little tidbit about prisoners being detained in the CIA´s Benghazi Annex.

Time to start going over the speeches, talks, blogs, and interviews given by the lesser underlings peripherally associated with this since 09/11/12. I bet there is a whole basket full of Easter eggs waiting to be ´found´.

OK, friends. Here´s my take. Obama didn´t want Petraeus to testify in front of the committee because he would tell the truth. So, Obama tried to blackmail him with the affair thing and Petraeus called his bluff and spilled the beans. The rest of this nonsense is fallout from that. Petraeus can still testify when he gets a subpoena, he will. Remember back to Watergate that Halderman and Eirlichman had resigned their jobs and testified before Congress. And you know Obama knew everything. One Cabinet leader investigating another? Holder told BO. Stinks. Despite his personal failings, I think Petraeus is still a soldier and will tell the truth.

Unfortunately, if the media gives this any attention, its only for the salacious aspect. They have already forgotten that 4 brave men were murdered and that help was withheld from their pleas.

There has to be more of an expalnation why the military is agreeing to cover this up than a sorted affair or two. Having detainees at the annex (where the CIA was housed) would certainly ruffle a few libs, uh?

The point is not the broad and the general´s sodomizing each other, it´s the ambassador getting sodomized and murdered by the muzzies and nothing, repeat, nothing, repeat NOTHING is done about it.

There is no reason that Petraeus can’t testify in front of Congress and in my opinion, he should. Since he went to Libya late last month and personally debriefed the CIA station chief and other CIA personnel who were in Benghazi on Sept. 11, he undoubtedly knows the truth about what actually happened during the attack. In spite of the affair, which he admitted when questioned, he is an honorable man, who, when put under oath, will tell Congress the truth.

If Petraeus agrees to testify in front of Congress, and the Obama administration thinks that he intends to reveal the truth about what really happened in Benghazi, you will see a concerted effort by the White House, Congressional Dems, and other assorted party operatives, including, of course, the liberal media, to demonize Patraeus and undercut his credibility prior to that testimony. It will make their scurrilous campaign of lies and innuendo against Romney look like child’s play.

In the meantime, I would advise Patraeus to hire a formidable security detail of retired Special Forces personnel that he has known for years and who are personally loyal to him. Otherwise, he could become another casualty of Benghazi.

Personally, I don´t think the libs will be upset when they inevitably learn there were prisoners held (and prehaps tortured) in the consulate annex there in Bengazi. After all, if Obama allowed that, it MUST be OK. He wouldn´t have done that unless it was absolutely necessary, right? I mean, it´s not like some conservative demon was in charge, you know?


Reply 27 - Posted by: zazu, 11/13/2012 2:00:32 PM     (No. 9011727)

I don´t believe for a minute this was an attempt to get prisoners released. It was a planned attack on an obviously soft valuable target.


Reply 28 - Posted by: larryp, 11/13/2012 2:07:55 PM     (No. 9011737)

Obama will block subpoena or testimony on its own by claim of Executive Privilege.
It will then goe to the Courts and be ruled ok or will go to courts and be dragged out for yrs.
Notice that the issue of Gun-running is off the table-the visit to Turkey by the Amabassdor Stevens, etc...and guns for the Syrian terrorists.
The National Front for the Liberation of Libya´s HQ is there in Benghazi. And during the kadaffi hunt we armed them, so why stop now?imo of course.

I wish I could still believe Petraeus is an honorable man. Didn´t he testify that the Benghazi raid was because of the "video"? I don´t know, if you cheat on your wife, maybe it´s not a far cry to cheat on your country.

Yes, he cheated on his wife. It´s not as if there wasn´t plenty of temptation to do so. But now the word is out. If he is caught in more lies, Petraeus´s reputation will sink deeper. If he tells the truth about Obama, "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead," he will live--or die--a hero to his country. He should be piteously watchful for those who will seek to silence him. Hillary is in Australia, hiding out like a member of the Wisconsin legislature. She can always claim clean hands if Petraeus meets misfortune. Obama always--always--seeks to do harm.

It really doesn´t matter if it was a prison or not. We cannot lose focus that Obama knew, Hillary knew, Susan Rice knew, Panetta knew, and Petraeus knew, and all of them left our guys to die. Americans don´t leave their people on the battleground when help was readily available. General Hamm tried to get them help and was relieved of his position immediately. The CIA guys bravely fought off these monsters for as long as they could thinking all along that there would be help and none came.

There are several people to blame, but the top one is Bronco Bamma. Shame on all of them. Do not lose focus.

Perhaps the terrorists that were sent in by Russia...were sent in to get Stevens in the same manner the USA let their rebel terrorists "get" Kaddaffi (raped and murdered) .....as payback .....and a message to stop the gun running and the missile running into the Russian´s friend and their allie Assad´s Syria...

Perhaps that is why the Russians had a nuclear sub off the East Coast of the USA on Election Day ....for the first time since the early 90´s....

Perhaps that is why the CEO of Locheed Martin, makers of ballistic missiles and munitions.....tendered his resignation the same day as Petraeus....for " AN AFFAIR".....

Perhaps he too did not want to be interviewed by Congress for helping our President run an illegal...unapproved war....to turn another nation over to The Muslim Brotherhood...for a complete takeover of the Middle East by the Muslim Brotherhood....you know, that Muslim Brotherhood, the IslamoCommunists....that Huma and her Muslim Brotherhood parents support so well.....

The letter from the group, “Special Operations Speaks,” supports the appointment of a special committee tasked with the single mission of investigating the attack that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, and shut down the CIA operation in an annex of the Benghazi consulate, in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack. “Congress must show some leadership and provide answers to the public

President Obama lives at a time when there are two very different and very well-defined political ideologies. On the one hand, the GOP is fighting for spending contraints, limited regulation, and more personal economic choice. President Obama and his party are more determined than any administration in U.S. history to promote and execute the idea that federal government is best suited to both meet the needs of the people and run the economy. The most fascinating aspect of this yin and yang pull of ideologies is not just that they are taking place at this time in history,

WASHINGTON— President Barack Obama supports requiring girls younger than 17 to see a doctor before buying the morning-after pill. But fighting that battle in court comes with its own set of risks. A federal judge in New York on Friday ordered the Food and Drug Administration to lift age restrictions on the sale of emergency contraception, ending the requirement that buyers show proof they’re 17 or older if they want to buy it without a prescription. The ruling accused the Obama administration in no uncertain terms of letting the president’s pending re-election cloud its judgment when it

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth.
