| Al-Qaida/CIA gun connection ignored in Benghazi probe |
| 2013-05-11 |
| A day-long congressional hearing into the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi left open questions about al-Qaida’s alleged connections to CIA operations in the Mideast. A senior U.S. intelligence source deeply involved in the Libya investigation said the real test of the House probe will be whether lawmakers go beyond the Obama administration’s account of the Sept. 11, 2012 events. “While the administration clearly put out a disinformation line that the terrorist attack was actually a spontaneous demonstration protesting a film slandering the Prophet Mohammed, the bigger issue is the secret Obama administration program to arm rebels in Syria via the CIA safehouse in Benghazi,” according to the source quoted by Executive Intelligence Review. If reports of a CIA gunrunning operation became the target of the congressional inquiry, they could affirm published allegations that the administration had a covert program to arm the Syrian rebels with weapons confiscated after the assassination of Col. Moammar Qaddafi. In a new book, “Benghazi: The Definitive Report,” Brandon Webb and Jack Murphy accuse John Brennan — then the U.S. counterterrorism chief — of transferring the weapons to Syrian President Bashar Assad’s opponents. |

| #1 the bigger issue is the secret Obama administration program to arm rebels in Syria via the CIA safehouse in Benghazi." I would think. How is this different from Iran/Contra? I mean, except that the president is a Dem. And that the "rebels" he is arming are even worse than the government they seek to overthrow. Or am I just being dense? |
