The Benghazi outrage we actually should be talking about
What did the CIA know and when did they know it?
That's the real question that ought to be raised by a recently declassified Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report, obtained by Judicial Watch in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. The August 2012 document describes how the U.S. ended up on the same general side in the Syrian Civil War as Al Qaeda in Iraq, the predecessor to ISIS. "AQI supported the Syrian opposition from the beginning," the report explained. Meanwhile, "[w]estern countries, the Gulf states, and Turkey are supporting" rebel efforts against the Assad regime in a proxy war, putting them on the same side as, if not working together with, the terrorists now overrunning Iraq.
Some outlets have concluded that this means "the West intentionally sponsored violent Islamist groups to destabilize Assad."
