Guantanamo Bay can help prevent another Benghazi, says intelligence committee member

The State Department has admitted that an associate of Osama bin Laden and former Guantanamo Bay detainee played a role in the Benghazi terrorist attack, a concession that debunks not only the claim that a YouTube video sparked the assault, but also the idea that the detention center should be closed, according to a member of the House Intelligence Committee.

“It’s not a straight line,” Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kan., told the Washington Examiner, describing the connection between al Qaeda and the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi. The terrorists killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens.
