CIA Applies the Squeeze

Remember Benghazi? That's okay, at least half of America doesn't either. President Obama has labelled it a "phony" crisis, which begs the question why is the CIA going to such extraordinary measures to muzzle its people from testifying to Congress? 

Jake Tapper, formerly of ABC News and now at CNN, is a good reporter - one of the few in the MSM - and he broke a story yesterday that the Agency is flat out intimidating the 35 or so CIA employees who were at the annex in Benghazi when Ambassador Stevens and his bodyguards were killed. Initially a number of these people wanted to be subpoenaed to testify but have they have suddenly "gone dark" as the squeeze is applied. 

This is anything but a phony scandal and we still don't have a clear picture of what the Administration is trying to hide, but with these tactics we can reasonably conclude that it is big. As one possibility, Libyan intelligence has reputedly directly connected deposed Egyptian President Morsi with financing and high-level guidance of the plot to assassinate Ambassador Stevens. Since the Obama Administration was trying to prop Morsi up, it is more than a little inconvenient to have it come to light that he was trying to kill our people in other countries. We'll have to wait and see, but the truth however sordid will come out if good reporters like Tapper keep doing their job.
