Earlier this week, Sharyl Attkisson revealed that U.S. Special Forces were ordered not to go to Benghazi. Rep. Jason Chaffetz asked Greg Hicks, Deputy Chief of Mission at the embassy, how military personnel responded to the order:
Hicks testifies AFRICOM ordered team to stand down from traveling from Tripoli to Benghazi. "They were furious."

Unbelievable.
Mr Hicks: "They were not authorized to travel" Quotes ColGibson: "First time in my career that a diplomat has more balls than the military"
