After being sued under Freedom of Info law, State Dept has released 1st photos showing aftermath of 9/11/12 terrorist attacks on Benghazi.

According to Judicial Watch, which filed the lawsuit against the government, the seven photos “seem to depict portions of the so-called

‘Special Mission Compound’ in Benghazi, incl: what appears to be a burned and ransacked building; at least two burned vehicles; and

and Arabic graffiti with militant Islamist slogans.”

On their face, the photos seem to provide no great revelations.

Nonetheless, the images are the first ones provided by the State Department under FOI and only after Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit.

It’s unclear why the State Department previously withheld the images from public disclosure.

Last year, CBS News filed a Freedom of Information (FOI) request for the images and other images, video and documents related to Benghazi

…but the State Department still has not provided them to CBS. Not even the 7 photos provided to Judicial Watch.

The CIA, FBI and DIA have likewise not released the Benghazi public info that CBS News requested under Freedom of Info.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton: “We now know that every video or photo, along with every additional piece of information we uncover…

…will tell us more about Benghazi- in contrast to the continued lies and spin coming out of the Obama administration about this atrocity.”
— Sharyl Attkisson?️♂️ (@SharylAttkisson) June 20, 2013
The damn is breaking.
The Obama administration has said there was no cover up, that the Accountability Review Board conducted a full investigation, and
— Sharyl Attkisson?️♂️ (@SharylAttkisson) June 20, 2013
…its recommendations are being implemented.

The White House has been less than forthright. We expect there are still many more shoes to drop.
