BENGHAZI AND THE CIA

I was not surprised by the news that the CIA was involved in defending the Benghazi mission on September 11, 2012.

I did not blog about my suspicion regarding the CIA for the same reason that President Obama did not talk about the CIA's involvement. Sometimes the need to protect agents on foreign soil is more important than the need for the American people to know exactly what happened and when. This is especially true when talking about the CIA could either get them killed or interfere with an important covert investigation.

I was also not surprised by Fox News and the Republicans trying to get political points from the Benghazi tragedy. After all, the Bush administration "outed" a CIA undercover operative in retaliation for her husband reporting that it was unlikely that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

I think Fox and the Republicans are trying to get people to believe that the death of Osama bin Laden was unimportant.

I am constantly amazed at how stupid Fox News and the Republicans think we are.
