What’s that? The New York Times had a reporter on the scene of the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya? Reporter David D. Kirkpatrick, who wrote this weekend’s piece on Benghazi, says it was invaluable to have a reporter on the ground talking to the attackers during the attack.
@RichardGrenell we had a reporter on the scene talking to the attackers during the attack- still invaluable

@ddknyt @RichardGrenell And the name of the reporter is? Was it a NYT reporter? Where is the reporter today? @instapundit

"Talking to the attackers during the attack…" Was he giving them tips? Taking a poll on YouTube videos? Just standing by? Wow! @ddknyt

@redsteeze not to mention- how does one embed with a random, spontaneous protest sparked by a video? what luck @ChrisLoesch

@RichardGrenell This should go viral. And should be in front of the House Committee. @ddknyt

Absolutely.

@RichardGrenell guess they've been hiding this witness for over a year? #Benghazi

We thought the purpose of journalism was to answer questions, not raise them.
.@robertcobrien @RichardGrenell @ddknyt @nytimes This is an easy claim to confirm and it will add greatly to the credibility of the report.

That would be invaluable information.
@RichardGrenell @ddknyt So you knew an attack was coming enough in advance to send a reporter?

@ddknyt @richardgrenell How bout saving the Americans?

@RichardGrenell It must be ethical to wait 15 months before everyone knows a reporter was there. @robertcobrien @ddknyt @nytimes @BradThor

@redsteeze This is honestly the most mind boggling mess I've ever contemplated. Nothing makes sense. Makes Alex Jones seem sane.

Update 12/31/13 at 12:50 p.m.:
Apologies for missing these tweets last night. According to Kirkpatrick, the Times revealed “right after the attack” that it had a reporter on the scene in Benghazi during the attack.
@tklowenstein @RichardGrenell and we put it in the paper right after the attack. but we did a lot more investigating since.

@jcov_wg @RichardGrenell it was of course. and in earlier articles. read it.
