Report: CIA using polygraph tests to ensure Benghazi operations stay secret

 

The CIA allegedly had "dozens" of agency operatives on the ground at the U.S. diplomatic annex in Benghazi, Libya, during last year's deadly terrorist attack that ended with the deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

Langley is taking extreme measures to mask the agency's operations in Benghazi and in northern Libya at the time of the strike, according to CNN.

Agency employees involved with CIA operations in the country are being subjected to monthly polygraph tests, among other counterintelligence measures, an unnamed source told CNN.

Those efforts, according to the source, are part of a larger effort to suppress any information from Congress or the public of U.S. intelligence operations that might have been taking place at the CIA annex to the consulate.
