WH WON'T RELEASE PHOTOS OF OBAMA TEAM DURING BENGHAZI ATTACKS

From CBS News - h/t Breitbart:

The White House Photo Office has declined CBS News requests to release images taken of US officials during the Sept. 11 Benghazi attacks.

CBS News first requested the images on Oct. 31. In the past, the White House has released photos showing US officials during national security incidents. A half dozen images related to the mission that captured and killed Osama bin Laden were given to the public last year. One depicts President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and members of the national security team gathered in the Situation Room on May 1, 2011...

In addition to the Benghazi images, CBS News has also requested, but not received, details concerning the president's and his staff's decisions during the attacks. Last year reporters were given details of the decision making, timeline and players regarding the Osama bin Laden raid as well as access to certain emails.

CBS News is also seeking drone and ground-level surveillance images and email communications and documents from the night of the Benghazi attacks. So far, none has been provided.

In a related development, Senator Lindsey Graham sent a letter to President Obama, dated Nov. 20, 2012, asking him to reveal what he knew before, during, and after the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi [h/t Breitbart, PJ Media].

“Mr. President, many serious questions remain about you and your Administration’s actions before, during, and after the attack on our consulate in Benghazi,” Graham wrote.

“Can you please account, as you did during the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan, for your actions during the seven plus hours our Consulate was under attack?... It is unfair to the American people and the families of the victims of the Benghazi attack to not provide the same level of detailed facts and an accounting for what I consider a major national security failure."

"I remain concerned that over the past two months senators have written at least 13 letters requesting information from your Administration and they remain largely ignored," Graham wrote.

Graham went on to note that Obama had refrained from calling the attack on the U.S. consulate a terrorist attack when he appeared on The View, the David Letterman show and Univision in September, and in his address to the UN in September.

“Mr. President, our intelligence community had arrived at the conclusion Benghazi was a pre-planned terrorist attack linked to al-Qaeda one day after September 11. How could you not be aware of this development?” Graham asked. “… "Mr. President, answers to these and many other questions, many of which you should personally and immediately know the answer to, don’t require the type of ‘investigation’ you noted in recent remarks.”
