Stonewalled CBS reporter fights back, embarrasses Obama administration on Twitter
CBS News investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson has had enough of the uber-secretive Obama administration’s handling of the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, which led to the murder of four Americans, including that of Ambassador Chris Stevens.Attkisson has gone where no women and very few men have gone before in her pursuit of a story. Her reporting has earned her multiple Emmys, most recently for her investigations on Operation Fast and Furious. She’s also a multiple winner of the Radio and Television News Directors Association-Edward R. Murrow Award.Attkisson knows when she’s being stonewalled or handed a line. The Obama administration, which calls itself the most open and transparent presidential administration in recent history, is doing both, and Attkisson voiced her frustrations on Twitter Tuesday evening to let the world know it.She began at 9:41 p.m., tweeting about a statement the Obama administration sent to her and CBS News:“@SharylAttkisson
The Obama Admin has indicated it will not be answering Benghazi questions we’ve been asking since Oct. I will list some of them.”She followed up two minutes later with a question that took up two tweets:“@SharylAttkisson
What time was Ambassador’s Stevens’ body recovered, what are the known details surrounding his disappearance and death…”“. ..including where he/his body was taken/found/transported and by whom?”And from that moment forward, she just kept hammering:“Who made the decision not to convene the Counterterrorism Security Group (CSG) the night of the Benghazi attacks?”“We understand that convening the CSG a protocol under Presidential directive (“NSPD-46”). Is that true? If not, please explain…”“… if so, why was the protocol not followed?”“Is the Administration revising the applicable Presidential directive? If so, please explain.”“Who is the highest-ranking official who was aware of pre-911 security requests from US personnel in Libya?”Read more on: BizPacRevier
