On August 12, Joe DiGenova, attorney for one of the Benghazi whistleblowers, told Washington D.C.'s WMAL
that one of the reasons people have remained tight-lipped about
Benghazi is because 400 U.S. missiles were "diverted to Libya" and ended
up being stolen and falling into "the hands of some very ugly people."
DiGenova represents Benghazi whistleblower Mark Thompson. He told
WMAL that he "does not know whether [the missiles] were at the annex,
but it is clear the annex was somehow involved in the distribution of
those missiles."
He claimed his information "comes from a former intelligence official
who stayed in constant contact with people in the special ops and
intelligence community." He said the biggest concern right now is
finding those missiles before they can be put to use. "They are worried,
specifically according to these sources, about an attempt to shoot down
an airliner," he claimed.
On August 4, Breitbart News covered a report in The Telegraph that said 35 CIA operatives were working in Benghazi when the attack against the consulate took place. The Telegraph
claimed these operatives were allegedly in an "annex near the consulate
[working] on a project to supply missiles from Libyan armories to
Syrian Rebels."

Newly released probe may raise unintended questions about U.S. facility
by Aaron Klein
JERUSALEM — Was the U.S. mission in Benghazi established in violation of international law?
According to the 39-page report released this week by independent investigators probing the September 11th attacks at the diplomatic facility, the U.S. mission in Benghazi was set up without the knowledge of the new Libyan government.
Reads the report: “Another key driver behind the weak security
platform in Benghazi was the decision to treat Benghazi as a temporary,
residential facility, not officially notified to the host government,
even though it was also a full-time office facility.”
“This resulted in the Special Mission compound being excepted from
office facility standards and accountability under the Secure Embassy
Construction and Counter-Terrorism Act of 1999 (SECCA) and the Overseas
Security Policy Board (OSPB).”
The report, based on a probe led by former U.S. diplomat Thomas Pickering, calls the facility a “Special U.S. Mission.”
Until now, government descriptions routinely referred to the facility
as a “mission,” while the news media largely wrongly labeled the
building a “consulate.”

CBS News has released a clip of an interview by Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes on
Sep. 12 with President Barack Obama that indicates Obama knew the
assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya was a premeditated
terror attack--and suggests the White House later deceived the public by
blaming protests against an anti-Islam video. CBS chose not to air the
clip for over a month--but did air Obama’s attack on Romney that same
night.
