US Intel monitored Benghazi attackers using State Dept. cellies to call terr leaders
2014-06-12
[Fox News] The terrorists who attacked the U.S. consulate and CIA annex in Benghazi on September 11, 2012 used cell phones, seized from State Department personnel during the attacks, and U.S. spy agencies overheard them contacting more senior terrorist leaders to report on the success of the operation, multiple sources confirmed to Fox News.

The disclosure is important because it adds to the body of evidence establishing that senior U.S. officials in the Obama administration knew early on that Benghazi was a terrorist attack, and not a spontaneous protest over an anti-Islam video that had gone awry, as the administration claimed for several weeks after the attacks.
The paralogism unveiled.
I had to look that up (thanks for the new word, Besoeker!). If you, dear Reader, share my ignorance, it means a piece of illogical or fallacious reasoning, especially one that appears superficially logical or that the reasoner believes to be logical. In short, truthy logic.
Eric Stahl, who recently retired as a major in the U.S. Air Force, served as commander and pilot of the C-17 aircraft that was used to transport the corpses of the four casualties from the Benghazi attacks -- then-U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, information officer Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods -- as well as the assault's survivors from Tripoli to the safety of an American military base in Ramstein, Germany.

#5  Good News!!! The NSA must have all of the conversations. Also, if anyone got the tail number on the aircraft they left on then we know who bankrolled the attack. Surely the CIA or NSA got that number.

#1  If I had to guess, I'd wager the above is the primary reason neither our Champ or the Beast's diary or "personal notes" on Benghazi will ever see the light of day. They've lowered the 'cone of silence by weaving [either inadvertently or intentionally] high-level Special Intelligence into the documents.
