#1 23 [military contractors] from Benghazi were transported by Nyx Air ES-NSH to Malta from where they were transferred to Sofia by Omni Air N495AX, information from Sofia Airport reveals. The two planes exchanged passengers. Although the US Army does not officially operate in Benghazi, the number of flights between Benghazi and Washington has risen since June, according to an investigative report published by The Times.
NOW ask yourself, what in Hell were they doing in Benghazi?

#2 /\ US Army does not officially operate in Benghazi

And I have a hunch those people were not "contractors."

#8 @#1"what the Hell were they doing in Benghazi?"
The same thing they were doing before the consulate there got blitzed:Hiring shooters out of the refugee pipeline to send to such garden spots as Syria, Lebanon, Yemen. The really lucky ones might make it to Turkey.

#11 Attacking the source doesn't mean what's being reported is false. It just means you don't want it to be true.

#12 Read the other article titles. They are made up.

1. Gilead has paid $178 million to doctors to promote drugs despite patient deaths

2. Georgia cover-up of deaths in $3.3 billion pharmaceutical project: documents

3. New data leak from the Pentagon biolaboratory in Georgia

4. US diplomats involved in trafficking of human blood and pathogens for secret military program (Georgia again)

5. Leaked arms dealers’ passports reveal who supplies terrorists in Yemen (ISIS): Serbia files (Part 3) (no surprise, USA is blamed)

and on and on.
