“The attack on the CIA base came more than seven hours after an armed
mob stormed the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, setting the
compound ablaze and killing U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and
Sean Smith, a State Department communications officer who was with him.
On Wednesday, Deputy CIA Director Mike Morell—along with CIA officers
who were at the agency’s Benghazi base on the night of the
attack—testified at a classified hearing before the House Permanent
Select Committee on Intelligence. In the closed hearing, according to
U.S. officials with knowledge of the proceedings, Morell was asked by
Republican members about how the second wave of attackers knew to go to
the CIA annex, which was a mile away from the diplomatic mission. Morell
responded that at this point the CIA did not know whether the attackers
had known the location of the annex or learned about it on the evening
of the attack, according to these sources.How the attackers knew about what was supposed to be a secret CIA facility is important.
…However, one U.S. intelligence official with detailed knowledge of the events in Benghazi disputed that view. This official said the Special Operations team that arrived by aircraft that evening from Tripoli was tailed by the attackers on the drive from the Benghazi airport to the CIA annex.

What Congress is doing is getting the on-the-record response directly from the CIA operatives in and around Benghazi the night of the attack without the filter of the Obama administration. If this response differs greatly from what the Obama White House and State Department has been stating, Congress will then have enough to move forward with a far more serious and comprehensive investigation.
The step that is currently taking place is what was needed to ensure the investigation moves into its next phase per WHI’s update.
Hopefully that is exactly what is now happening… -UM
