Four years ago, we ran a column that told the real story behind the Benghazi disaster: how the State Department "outsourced" security for Ambassador Stevens to a dubious outfit named "Blue Mountain Security," and a gang of Islamists known as the February 17 Brigade. The story was that Stevens and the others who were killed that day were set up.

Now the real story is coming out, and it turns out we were right.

If you want your news four years ahead of time, you've come to the right place.

We're proud of our record – but we can't continue to keep you ahead of the news without your financial support. Antiwar.com doesn't get big foundation grants: we depend on our readers to give us what we need to keep going.
