Dozens of CIA agents were on the ground the night of the Benghazi terrorist attack Sept. 11, 2012, CNN reported Thursday on The Lead, and the agency is involved in what one source calls an “unprecedented attempt” to keep its secrets from ever leaking out.

Agents have been subjected to frequent, sometimes monthly polygraph tests, in order to find out if anyone is talking to the media or Congress, according to sources with insider knowledge of the CIA’s workings.

“It’s being described as pure intimidation, with the threat that any unauthorized CIA employee who leaks information could face the end of his or her career,” correspondent Drew Griffin said.

In exclusive communications obtained by CNN, one insider wrote, “You have no idea the amount of pressure being brought to bear on anyone with knowledge of this operation.”

CNN reported 35 Americans, with as many as seven wounded, were on the ground that night, although how many were CIA is not known.

Rep. Frank Wolf (R., Va.), whose district include the agency’s headquarters in Langley, said he felt the CIA’s behavior was a form of cover-up, and the people on the scene should be allowed to testify and reveal what really happened.
