Witnesses: ‘Nobody knew’ when Benghazi attack would be over
Yesterday, the House Intelligence Committee heard the testimony of two more CIA contractors in closed session about the events in Benghazi on 9/11 and 9/12 of last year.

CBS News: One of Logan’s mistakes was Blaming al-Qaeda
By Ben Barrack In CBS News’ Summary of Findings against Lara Logan and her producer Max McClellan, Executive Director of Standards and Practices Al Ortiz took issue with a rather irrefutable charge made by Logan in the now “discredited” 60 Minutes report on Benghazi which aired on October 27th. Apparently, Ortiz thought identifying al-Qaeda as […]
Heinous Treatment of Lara Logan… Again
CBS 60 Minutes reporter Lara Logan is taking a leave of absence for her work on a piece about Benghazi. This treatment of her is a disgrace on multiple levels. Before we get to that, consider some recent history. Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak ultimately stepped down as a result of Barack Obama’s support for the ‘Arab […]
Senate Committee briefed on Jailed Benghazi Suspect
Halfway through five pages of written testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, terrorism expert Thomas Joscelyn presented Congress with something that has been getting very short shrift in the media.

Time to Release Transcripts of Closed Benghazi Hearings
Ok, this is getting a bit ridiculous. It’s time for the House Intelligence Committee to release the transcripts of its closed session with five CIA employees who witnessed the Benghazi attacks.

The Most Anti-Climactic Sound
On today’s show… Benghazi is rightfully back in the news cycle.

Testimony discredits Benghazi ARB Board in Full
In a court of law, once a witness’s testimony is discredited, the witness is no longer credible, even in instances when he or she might be telling the truth. Thanks to testimony from a witness to the Benghazi attack, the Accountability Review Board (ARB) should suffer a similar fate. A report filed by Catherine Herridge […]
Major Benghazi Inconsistency Revealed after Closed Session
CIA personnel who witnessed the Benghazi attacks on 9/11/12 testified in front of the House Intelligence Committee behind closed doors this week. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), chairman of the committee and Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), who sits on the committee, appear to be at complete variance on one key issue. That issue? Was there a […]
New Problem for Benghazi Accountability Review Board?
The “Independent” Accountability Review Board (ARB) commissioned by then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to investigate security lapses at Benghazi, may have new problem to deal with thanks to witnesses to the attack.

Does Ted Cruz support Rewarding Egypt on Benghazi?

Benghazi Question Lara Logan’s apology does not answer
60 Minutes’ Lara Logan appeared on CBS This Morning today to inform viewers that the program would be issuing a formal apology during its November 10th broadcast.

Was British Soldier told to Stand Down in Benghazi?
When we chimed in on Lara Logan’s 60 Minutes piece on Benghazi, what caught our attention was a glaring discrepancy between a claim made by Logan and a diametrically opposing claim by the Accountability Review Board (ARB). Logan reported that CIA Annex personnel “ignored orders to wait” while the ARB said “the Annex team was […]
Proof Obama lied about Benghazi?
In a court of law, once a witness is found to be lying (just once), the credibility of that witness is gone and his/her testimony is thrown out. In fact, that witness’s testimony helps the other side because it’s a direct reflection on the side that called said witness. The President of the United States […]
