"Though the agency has been cooperating with the new post-Qaddafi Libyan
intelligence service, the size of the C.I.A.’s presence in Benghazi
apparently surprised some Libyan leaders. The deputy prime minister,
Mustafa Abushagour, was quoted in The Wall Street Journal last week
saying that he learned about some of the delicate American operations
in Benghazi only after the attack on the mission, in large part because a
surprisingly large number of Americans showed up at the Benghazi
airport to be evacuated.
“We have no problem with intelligence sharing or gathering, but our sovereignty is also key,” said Mr. Abushagour."
