Rush calls this a major breaking story:
Via Weasel Zippers "BOMBSHELL: CIA Operators On Ground In Benghazi During Attack Were Denied Request For Immediate Help, Told To Stand Down…"
EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say
"Former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were part of a small team who were at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. Consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When they heard the shots fired, they radioed to inform their higher-ups to tell them what they were hearing. They were told to “stand down,” according to sources familiar with the exchange. An hour later, they called again to headquarters and were again told to “stand down.” "
....
But they went anyway:
"Woods and at least two others ignored those orders and made their way to the Consulate which at that point was on fire. Shots were exchanged. The quick reaction force from the CIA annex evacuated those who remained at the Consulate and Sean Smith, who had been killed in the initial attack. They could not find the ambassador and returned to the CIA annex at about midnight.
"At that point, they called again for military support and help because they were taking fire at the CIA safe house, or annex. The request was denied."
As of 11:40 CST, no coverage at NBC
Nothing so far at ABC and nothing at CBS
FOX, on the other hand...

@Bill:
Excellent article - and, as always, thanks for posting on my blog!
Indeed, the wheels are coming off the Obama bus - and this sad affair is almost certain to end up as a "Super Watergate" that will end (hopefully!) with Obama band Company of co-conspirators being tried for treason.
