http://www.democracynow.org - A new book on last year's Benghazi attack in Libya concludes the killing of U.S. ambassador Christoper Stevens and three others was in part blowback for a secret assassination operation run in North Africa by the Joint Special Operations Command and John Brennan, President Obama's then counterrorism advisor, now director of the CIA. According to "Benghazi: The Definitive Report," President Obama's counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan and JSOC commander Admiral Bill McRaven were running "off the books" unilateral operations in North Africa that were not coordinated through the Pentagon or other governmental agencies, including the CIA. Ambassador Stevens was reportedly never informed about these operations. We're joined by the book's authors, Brandon Webb and Jack Murphy, both veterans of U.S. special operations. Last week they published the contents of Ambassador Stevens' diary from the days before the Benghazi attack on their website, SOFREP.com.
