jenna: there had been an arrest in the capture made in the benghazi terror attacks in september of 2012. and that this man, this alleged terrorist is on his way back to the yat. we don t have a time line on that but we do know he was captured on sunday and as the details continue to come in, we re learning a little more about the significance of this arrest. the name of this man is abu khattala. he s the one as we ve been talking about over the last several minutes that told the new york times back in october that he didn t have anything to do directly with this attack in benghazi but also showed very little remorse in what transpired there in the death of four americans. joining us is the defense for democracies. he takes a look at different terror groups around the world. tell us about the state of the

we interviewed her back in september of 2012, just five days after the benghazi attack. and we re back now with a panel. well, before we get to the president s speech, i want to discuss the prisoner swap that took place last night. we got back sergeant bo bergdahl who has been held captive by the taliban since 2009. in return, we handed over the so-called taliban five who were being held at gawn tan know. they will be reportedly held in qater. we re giving up a intelligence chief, military commander, some of them wanted by the u.n. for war crimes. what do you make of this? it s wonderful that bergdahl has been freed but this is a guidely misstep to take.
never happens again. let me pick up on that because secretary clinton says all the questions have been answers but we have found out in the hearings that the deputy chief of mission in tripoli that night, the deputy head of intelligence for united states forces in africa, they all knew right away this was not a protest, it was not about the video but a terrorist attack so why does she keep pushing the narrative of the video for weeks? the narrative the video was a mixed narrative from intelligence. david petraeus looked at that. wait, wait, wait, the c.i.a., the deputy testified when susan rice on this show in september of 2012 said it is a video he thought, we never said that. it is certainly everyone saw
before the house intelligence committee when susan rice on this show in september of 2012 said it s a video. he thought he never said that. certainly everyone saw what the talking points that are out there, and the point is this, credits. we will never know all of the motives of the people who, in fact, attacked americans that night, but if you really look at this, what they re trying to say, republicans, is the military, once the commander in chief said get all the assistance there you can, they re somehow trying to give the american people the impression that hillary clinton, barack obama, and our military weren t doing their best at that moment. of course everyone wanted to save american lives. just like they saved an american life yesterday. the interesting thing to me about the release of the p.o.w., sergeant bergdahl, is the republicans immediately started criticizing that. we saved an american life, and foreign policy gets criticized. we lose american lives on foreign soil,
