Special Forces Told "You Can't Go...." - Benghazi
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-.../#postComments
"The deputy of slain U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens has told congressional investigators that a team of Special Forces prepared to fly from Tripoli to Benghazi during the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks was forbidden from doing so by U.S. Special Operations Command South Africa.
The account from Gregory Hicks is in stark contrast to assertions from the Obama administration, which insisted that nobody was ever told to stand down and that all available resources were utilized. Hicks gave private testimony to congressional investigators last month in advance of his upcoming appearance at a congressional hearing Wednesday."
The interview transcript is available at the CBSNews link.
It's a real shame--and terribly convenient--that this testimony wasn't made available around election time.
