Jeff Zucker is moving from MSNBC to head this nation’s last bastion of television journalism—AKA, CNN. The new head at CNN will not be shamed, however, into covering what the fine folks at Media Matters calls “the Benghazi hoax.” The answers, according to them, can be found in a report by an “independent” investigation convened by then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (PDF).

The Washington Post agrees.

Select committees make for good theater and often uncover important facts. But in the national security arena, the independent commissions that have probed the most shocking security lapses — including the 2001 attacks and several devastating bombings of U.S. embassies — have a better record of conducting impartial investigations and bringing about landmark reforms.

The report does not mention a YouTube video that had about ten hits prior to being linked as the cause of the 911 attack in Benghazi.

The Facts of the Attack in Benghazi Are Far Worse Than Reported

Matt Bruce, NMJ News

According to highly trusted sources, US Ambassador Christopher Stevens was targeted by al Qaeda of the Magreb, lured to Benghazi by al Qaeda operatives in the Libyan Security Forces, and kidnapped in the course of a diversionary attack on the consulate. He was missing for eight hours, during which time he was beaten and brutalized before he was murdered, not unlike the way that Muammar Ghadhaffi was murdered. Photographs are too graphic to reproduce here.

The Obama Administration was actually warned that “possible” attacks were looming on the 11th anniversary of September 11th as soon as September 4th during a White House Intel briefing run by National Security Advisor, Tom Donilon.

Extremely sensitive documents were taken from the Consulate in Benghazi, including lists of operatives and locations of safe houses in Libya. One of these so-called “safe house” in Benghazi, where the staff had retreated, came under sustained mortar fire during the attack. Other such refuges across the country are no longer considered to be “safe,” because of the capture of the documents. It is now assumed that a breach in security led to the attack, which was carried out on the eleventh anniversary of the September 11, 2001, al Qaeda attacks on the United States.

According to senior diplomatic sources, the US State Department received credible intelligence of the planned operation 48 hours before the attack on the Consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo.They were warned that American missions might be targeted, but no warnings were given for diplomats to go on “high alert” and put their facilities and personnel in “lockdown,” under which movement is severely restricted. We now hear our US Marines in Cairo were armed with pepper gas and stun guns but no live ammunition to defend themselves in case of an armed attack per a US State Department directive.
