What’s that? The New York Times had a reporter on the scene of the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya? Reporter David D. Kirkpatrick, who wrote this weekend’s piece on Benghazi, says it was invaluable to have a reporter on the ground talking to the attackers during the attack.
@RichardGrenell we had a reporter on the scene talking to the attackers during the attack- still invaluable—

@RichardGrenell @ddknyt Was the @nytimes reporter supposedly in #Benghazi witnessing the murder of Amb. Stevens an American?—

@ddknyt @RichardGrenell And the name of the reporter is? Was it a NYT reporter? Where is the reporter today? @instapundit—

"Talking to the attackers during the attack…" Was he giving them tips? Taking a poll on YouTube videos? Just standing by? Wow! @ddknyt—

@ChrisLoesch This might be overly snarky but it's dead on dude.. What is a NY Times reporter doing embedded with US Embassy attackers..Huge—

@redsteeze not to mention- how does one embed with a random, spontaneous protest sparked by a video? what luck @ChrisLoesch—

@RichardGrenell This should go viral. And should be in front of the House Committee. @ddknyt—
Kris Kinder (@kris_kinder) December 31, 2013
Absolutely.
@RichardGrenell @ddknyt Did the @nytimes supposedly in #Benghazi have a SAT phone? Did he call for help for Amb. Stevens & Sean Smith?—
Robert C. O'Brien (@robertcobrien) December 31, 2013
@RichardGrenell guess they've been hiding this witness for over a year? #Benghazi—

How much of the attack did the NYT witness?!? @ddknyt: we had a reporter on the scene talking to the attackers during the attack—
Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) December 31, 2013
We thought the purpose of journalism was to answer questions, not raise them.
.@robertcobrien @RichardGrenell @ddknyt @nytimes This is an easy claim to confirm and it will add greatly to the credibility of the report.—
Mark O. Van Wagoner (@VanWagoner) December 31, 2013
@RichardGrenell @ddknyt Has @nytimes reported the identity of the assassins of Amb. Stevens, Smith, Woods & Doherty to the FBI? @BradThor—
Robert C. O'Brien (@robertcobrien) December 31, 2013
That would be invaluable information.
@RichardGrenell @ddknyt So you knew an attack was coming enough in advance to send a reporter?—

@robertcobrien @ddknyt @nytimes @BradThor what is the ethical line for a journalist? Just watching a US Amb being attacked by terrorists?—
Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) December 31, 2013
@ddknyt @richardgrenell How bout saving the Americans?—
Ron Meyer (@RonaldDMeyer) December 31, 2013
@RichardGrenell It must be ethical to wait 15 months before everyone knows a reporter was there. @robertcobrien @ddknyt @nytimes @BradThor—
Kris Kinder (@kris_kinder) December 31, 2013
@RichardGrenell @Pqlyur1 @ddknyt hmm, talking to attackers during the attack? That makes me want to beat the teeth down someone's throat—

.@flyoverangel question becomes is NY Times protecting identities of attackers of US Soil to source information for their paper @DarrellIssa—
S.M (@redsteeze) December 31, 2013
@redsteeze If this is true, they ahould be shamed into nonexistence. @flyoverangel—

@redsteeze This is honestly the most mind boggling mess I've ever contemplated. Nothing makes sense. Makes Alex Jones seem sane.—
Kelly (@flyoverangel) December 31, 2013
What did the NY Times know and when did they know it?—
S.M (@redsteeze) December 31, 2013
If our own media is actively protecting those that would and have harmed us for their own ideology and sales, it's time for pitchforks.—

Update 12/31/13 at 12:50 p.m.:
Apologies for missing these tweets last night. According to Kirkpatrick, the Times revealed “right after the attack” that it had a reporter on the scene in Benghazi during the attack.
@tklowenstein @RichardGrenell and we put it in the paper right after the attack. but we did a lot more investigating since.—
David D. Kirkpatrick (@ddknyt) December 31, 2013
@jcov_wg @RichardGrenell it was of course. and in earlier articles. read it.—
