Key Findings of the Report:
Significant Strategic Warning Provided by the Intelligence CommunityâIn the months before the attacks on September 11, 2012, the IC provided strategic warning through numerous intelligence reports that the security situation in eastern Libya was deteriorating and that U.S. facilities and personnel were at risk in Benghazi.
State Department Failed to Increase Security Enough to Address the ThreatâThe State Department should have increased its security posture more significantly in Benghazi based on the deteriorating security situation on the ground and IC threat reporting on the prior attacks against Westerners in Benghaziâincluding two previous incidents at the Temporary Mission Facility on April 6, and June 6, 2012.
âTripwiresâ Were Crossed, But Other Nations Kept Their Facilities Open Along with the U.S.âThere were âtripwiresâ designed to prompt a reduction in personnel or a suspension of operations at the Mission facility in Benghazi and although there is evidence that some of them had been crossed, operations continued with minimal change. Some nations closed their diplomatic facilities in Benghazi as the security conditions deteriorated during the summer of 2012, but other nations stayed along with the United States, contrary to some public reports and statements that the U.S. was the last country represented in Benghazi.
then it got you your headlines.
and I note it said military personel... it did not say cia operatives or another the many other forces we have.
