The Washington Post<\/a> reports that the Senate released a report which states that the attack on the Benghazi consulate was preventable. They blame the State Department, mainly;<\/p>\n

The [bipartisan Senate Intelligence] committee determined that the U.S. military command in Africa didn\u2019t know about the CIA annex and that the Pentagon didn\u2019t have the resources in place to defend the diplomatic compound in an emergency.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe attacks were preventable, based on extensive intelligence reporting on the terrorist activity in Libya \u2014 to include prior threats and attacks against Western targets \u2014 and given the known security shortfalls at the U.S. Mission,\u201d the panel said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The report also notes, chillingly, that the FBI\u2019s investigation into the attacks has been hampered inside Libya, and that 15 people \u201csupporting the investigation or otherwise helpful to the United States\u201d have since been killed in Benghazi. The report says it is unclear whether those killings were related to the investigation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Funny how the Post is suddenly interested in the Benghazi attack when they spent the first weeks leading up to the election ignoring the facts of the story.<\/p>\n

The report says that on Sept. 18, 2012, the \u201cFBI and CIA reviewed the closed circuit television video from the Mission facility that showed there were no protests prior to the attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it took six more days for intelligence officials to revise their chronology of events and say that \u201cthere were no demonstrations or protests\u201d at the diplomatic compound \u201cprior to the attacks.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I hope the Senate Committee cleared their report with the editorial board of the New York Times who seem to be the experts on the story.<\/p>\n
