The alleged Benghazi ring leader Ahmed Kattala was captured on June 15th, but it wasn’t announced until June 17th. Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby explains the time lapse as, “This was very much an interagency effort. There is a legal component to this and we had to respect the integrity of that process.” There is also the question of why it took almost two years to find him when journalists could get him. Experts say he simply made himself available to the journalists, while hiding very well from others.
