| Report on Benghazi attack to blame diplomatic security |
| 2012-12-19 |
| An independent review of the September 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi criticizes the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security for its work in Libya before the event in which four Americans were killed, two sources who have read the report told CNN Tuesday. The senior management in charge of diplomatic security "does not come out well at all," said one of the sources. Assistant Secretary of State Eric Boswell is head of diplomatic security and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Charlene Lamb oversaw State Department decisions on security at the diplomatic outpost. Lamb testified before Congress about the security precautions; documents show Lamb denied repeated requests for additional security in Libya. The review has been sent to Capitol Hill, and an unclassified version was expected to be released as well. |

| #3 They are not like us. Many in DS are....icky former military and probably homophobic. They cluster in small groups and keep to themselves in the cafeteria and are often seen selecting meat items. They push us around, carry icky guns, and tell us what to do. We've never liked them anyway. |

| #2 The question that remains unanswered is WHY the Diplomatic Security (DS) superiors acted in such a manner. Red-headed stepchild project? |

| #1 If I remember correctly, the Regional Security Offier (RSO) for Libya told Congress within days of the incident that the problem resided back at State. I believe he said something to the effect that "his superiors in D.C. were his Taliban". The question that remains unanswered is WHY the Diplomatic Security (DS) superiors acted in such a manner. |
