U.S. Efforts to Arm Jihadis in Syria: The Scandal Behind the Benghazi Undercover CIA Facility | Global Research

Pulitzer-prize winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh – who
broke the stories of the Mai Lai massacre in Vietnam and the Iraq
prison torture scandals, which rightfully disgraced the Nixon and Bush
administrations’ war-fighting tactics – reported last week:

In January, the Senate Intelligence Committee released a
report on the assault by a local militia in September 2012 on the
American consulate and a nearby undercover CIA facility in Benghazi,
which resulted in the death of the US ambassador, Christopher Stevens,
and three others. The report’s criticism of the State Department for not
providing adequate security at the consulate, and of the intelligence
community for not alerting the US military to the presence of a CIA
outpost in the area, received front-page coverage and revived
animosities in Washington, with Republicans accusing Obama and Hillary
Clinton of a cover-up.

That’s the part you’ve heard about: failure to protect the personnel at the embassy.
