Senate Report Questions Libyan Government Complicity in Benghazi
Not good
The biggest recent development—which was overshadowed by the fiscal cliff negotiations—came on New Year's Eve, when the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee released a report that raised the question of whether Libyan officials assisted the Benghazi terrorists. The report found that a team of CIA contractors dispatched from Tripoli to Benghazi on the night of the attacks waited at least three hours after arriving at the Benghazi airport before departing to the scene because of negotiations with Libyan government officials. According to the report, members of Congress still don't know the exact reason for the delay.
