| The Central Intelligence Agency denied charges Sunday that its annex in Benghazi, Libya secretly held a few jihadi prisoners until it was destroyed in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack. Paula Broadwell, the girlfriend then-CIA chief Gen. David Petraeus, made that claim during an Oct. 26 speech in Denver, Colo. “I don’t know if a lot of you have heard this, but the CIA annex had actually had taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner. And they think that the attack on the consulate was an effort to try to get these prisoners back,” Broadwell declared

Other reports from Press TV (Iranian news) intimate that a group of persians had been arrested in Benghazi and were released just prior to the attack in Benghazi and right about the time that jarret was meeting with the iranians . RT (Russian news) reports that Russian leaders are upset that western forces have been running manpads into the hands of Syrian rebel forces threatening the security of Russia´s mediteranian naval port in syria. Turkey is upset that one of it´s aircraft was shot down near the Syrian border (they are adamant that it was a Kurdish fighter with the Syrian rebels.
It would be my (theoretical) opinion that this was a bloody horse head reminder from Putin to his asset that he was tired of excuses about having "flexibility" later.

Why should we believe the CIA? I know they are trying to protect intelligence operations but this one is out in the open. Why would Ms. Broadwell make this up? Her info came from directly from the source--the CIA director himself. (And I just cannot believe that this video is just surfacing now. Who found it? I saw it first on Powerline, posted here, of course).

Satan always overplays his hand!
Those who seek fame/fortune eventually foul up, make mistakes.
The crime is that it was not disclosed earlier. Benghazi was hidden from the public by the liberal media who consistently support Obama.
God is still in control. He is just giving them enough rope to hang themselves. Remember, the cover-up is always worse than the original crime.
Continue to pray for America. Know God´s way is perfect. He knows exactly what to do, when to do it, how much it will accomplish.
America is as great as those who know who they are, not what they need (entitlements), but to brush themselves off, start getting to work for the betterment of all of US.
Benghazi needs to be investigated,honestly resolved. That poor man in prison needs to be released. He doesn´t deserve to be the scapegoat of this administration.
Obama will find out that we, as a nation, are good people, wanting freedom/prosperity as we bond together, get to work to turn around what he has done, go forward into the future with a true dedication to our country, that we love, want prosperous, able to dig in, work together.
We need to teach the Constitution again, what our forefathers knew/sought/died to preserve.
The MSM are losing credibility more each day. Don´t let them prosper with lies/threats. That is not the American way.
Petraeus needs his day in court, to tell his side, then to truly clarify what happened in Beghazi.

Investigators seeking answers in the deadly marathon bombings are homing in on a six-month holiday one suspect took to his native Chechnya last year just months after the FBI closed the book on a probe into his possible terrorist ties, authorities said yesterday. The widening and intense investigation appeared to include the arrests yesterday of two classmates of surviving bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The two men were taken into custody in New Bedford on administrative immigration violations, authorities said. The pair had been released from police custody and returned home early yesterday to

Was this the first warning of the Boston bombing? From the Boston CBS affiliate, March 27 of this year: Investigators are trying to find out who is making and setting off homemade bombs near a section of Route 53. Residents in that area have reported loud bangs and flashes of bright light. On March 12, police found two unexploded bombs in a wooded area near Pine Street and Tower Hill Drive. Captain Jim Gallagher says they want to get to the bottom of who is making them. “They were simply small cardboard tubes, they are filled with what appears

There once were two planets, new to the galaxy and inexperienced in life. Like fraternal twins, they were born at the same time, about four and a half billion years ago, and took roughly the same shape. Both were blistered with volcanoes and etched with watercourses; both circled the same yellow dwarf star—close enough to be warmed by it, but not so close as to be blasted to a cinder. Had an alien astronomer swivelled his telescope toward them in those days, he might have found them equally promising—nurseries in the making. They were large enough to hold their gases close,

COPENHAGEN — It began as a stunt intended to prove that hardship and poverty still existed in this small, wealthy country, but it backfired badly. Visit a single mother of two on welfare, a liberal member of Parliament goaded a skeptical political opponent, see for yourself how hard it is. It turned out, however, that life on welfare was not so hard. The 36-year-old single mother, given the pseudonym “Carina” in the news media, had more money to spend than many of the country’s full-time workers. All told, she was getting about $2,700 a month,

It´s not easy being a Chechen. The family of Tamerlan and Dzhokar Tsarnaev, the alleged Boston bombers, have, like all their ethnic kin, led lives marked by violence and deportation. Chechnya is a small land in the Caucasus mountains that was one of the last places to be conquered by the Russian empire in the 19th century. Chechens are also Muslims. In February 1944, Joseph Stalin added them to his list of "punished peoples," whole ethnic groups who were deemed disloyal to the Soviet Union and subjected to wholesale deportation. Every Chechen -- man, woman and child --

A major American city was largely shut down for an entire day because of the hunt for someone who, based on initial reports, was quite possibly a confused, apolitical teenager, who may have been cajoled into taking part in what was essentially a bloody publicity stunt by his now-dead older brother. As the Boston Globe reported: Almost 1 million people in metropolitan Boston remained under siege Friday as police conducted a massive manhunt for one of the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings. The region felt as if it had been gripped by martial law:

CHARLESTON, S.C.- As the reporter said to the novelist: Why bother to make stuff up?For stories and characters, one needs only a pair of walking shoes in this city, where recent attentions have turned to two salacious stories. One concerns a murder-for-hire plot involving a banker, his wife, his lover’s ex-husband and his ex-lover’s husband’s cellmate. Not to be confused with his soul mate. No, that designation refers to the other story making rounds on the cocktail circuit. Yes, he’s back, but maybe not for long. Mark Sanford, the former governor who disappeared for five days,

In 1962, at the Carlyle Hotel in New York, a man “peeled off his clothing and began prancing around his hotel suite.” His bodyguards were cautiously amused, until the man “left the suite and began roaming through the corridor of the Carlyle.” The man in question was delusional, paranoid and suffering a “psychotic break” from the effects of an overdose of methamphetamine. He was also the president of the United States. The reason for John F. Kennedy’s bizarre behavior was that, according to an explosive new book, the president was — unbeknownst to him, at first — a meth addict.

After the capture of the second Boston bombing suspect, President Obama gave a Friday-night speech to praise private citizens and law-enforcement officials. He called the bombers “terrorists” and said, “They failed because the people of Boston refused to be intimidated. They failed because, as Americans, we refused to be terrorized.” Good, strong stuff — before he ruined it. Obama’s uplifting tone suddenly shifted into peevish scold as he warned against a rush to judgment “about the motivations of these individuals” or “entire groups of people.”He continued: “One of the things that makes America the greatest nation

“In this age of instant reporting and tweets and blogs, there´s a temptation to latch on to any bit of information, sometimes to jump to conclusions,” said President Obama, in the late evening of April 19, after Dzokhar Tsarnaev was captured alive in Watertown, Mass. (Snip)In an exceptionally well-reported story in the Daily Beast Friday, we read this: "One U.S. intelligence official who was regularly briefed on the investigation told Newsweek that he and his colleagues all but ruled out al Qaeda central or one of its affiliates giving direct and specific instructions for the attack."

Apropos of the #BostonBombers, CNN’s Jake Tapper tweeted this weekend: Big q is why FBI didnt keep an eye on/talk to Tamerlan Tsarnaev after he returned from Chechnya last year. So far from FBI: crickets. Tapper’s right. The FBI is not looking particularly good as far as their surveillance of murderous Caucasian Islamists on our soil is concerned. And Tamerlan, evidently , left quite a trail, from domestic violence to reportedly attacking an imam for holding up MLK as someone to emulate. Not exactly subtle. They were even warned about Tamerlan by the Russians apparently.

Weiner, the former congressman from Queens who left office amid scandal in 2011, is looking at a comeback this year. He has ties to two of New York’s best-known political figures, neither of whom has spoken publicly about him running.

BOSTON - The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings suffered an injury to his throat and may not be able to talk, a federal official told CNN on Saturday, possibly hindering attempts by authorities to question him about a motive in the attack. With one suspect dead, authorities believe answers to a motive and whether the brothers had help rest with Dzhokar Tsarnaev, who was captured Friday night just minutes after authorities had indicated that a massive manhunt for the suspect appeared to come up empty.

The Council on American Islamic Relations again offered sympathy to victims of the Boston Marathon bombing on Friday, but added a plea for Americans not to generalize and conclude that Muslim teachings influenced the suspect in any way. "Our focus is primarily on the victims," said Ahmed Rehab, executive director of the Chicago chapter at a press conference Friday afternoon. "We don´t want to be drawn into defending ourselves." Citing acts of violence in Boston and New York, Rehab blamed Islamophobic forces for inciting hate crimes.

Washington — The governor of Massachusetts says he has no idea what motivated the terrorists who exploded two bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Speaking Sunday on CBS’ ”Face the Nation,” Deval (deh-VAL’) Patrick said it’s hard to imagine why someone would deliberately harm, quote “innocent men, women and children in the way that these two fellows did.” Patrick also said law enforcers believe the immediate threat ended when the police killed one of the alleged terrorists and captured the other.

He tells ABC's "This Week" that a pipe bomb was found at another location and that another person was taken into custody. The mayor did not elaborate. One suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-KHAR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv), is in the hospital in serious condition. His older brother, Tamerlan, died in a police shootout

Cambridge Police Commissioner Robert Haas tells The Associated Press in an interview Sunday that neither Tamerlan Tsarnaev (tsahr-NEYE´-ehv) nor his brother Dzhokhar had permission to carry firearms. He says it´s unclear whether either ever applied and the applications aren´t considered public records.

THE graying man flashing fury in the Rose Garden on behalf of the Newtown families, the grieving man wiping away tears after speaking at the Boston memorial service, is not the same man who glided into office four years ago. President Obama has watched the blood-dimmed tide drowning the ceremony of innocence, as Yeats wrote, and he has learned how to emotionally connect with Americans in searing moments, as he did from the White House late Friday night after the second bombing suspect was apprehended in Boston.

He said the Boston attack reminded him more of the 1999 attack on Columbine than a terror event orchestrated by a foreign network. “I would charge these guys as murders not terrorists,” Mudd said of the suspects in the attack on the Boston Marathon. “Do you think we have to fear copycats – more of these small,
