Republicans Ramp Up Demands To Access Americans Wounded In The Benghazi Attack

Republicans are demanding access to American survivors of the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Julian Pecquet of The Hill reports.

In a letter sent to new Secretary of State John Kerry, Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) says a source told him that "as many as 30 Americans" were wounded during the two attacks — the first of which took place at the diplomatic mission and was followed by a second at a secret CIA annex about a mile away.

The first attack took the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens and Information Management Officer (IMO) Sean Smith while CIA contractors Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed in the second after rescuing Americans from the diplomatic building and bringing them a secret CAI annex.

The U.S. effort in Benghazi "was at its heart a CIA operation," and only seven of the more than 30 American personnel working there were from the State Department, according to a November story in The Wall Street Journal.

Investigating 09/11/01 FIRST! Even that disaster didn't get this much attention. Maybe they should interview people who now have a hard time breathing due to the asbestos and concrete clouds that blew all over the place. Hell, talk and help the firemen who were there. Why not fine that asshole (Pull it) Larry Silverstein for spewing all that asbestos into the streets. They knew those buildings were coming down, even ask Ghoulianai. Oh that's right, that tape has been EDITED. So he never said that. And Mr. Pull It was not referring to the firemen to get out of the building.

Think about how much you would be investigated if you put a million dollar life insurance policy on your spouse, and then 2 months later they were killed. Larry Silverstien did that, and he still got his money for 2 attacks, why not for the 3 for WTC 7? Such bullshit this Benghazi shit is. They make me soooooo sick
