FBI still can’t gain access to Benghazi consulate

“They had difficulty, and we understand there was some bureaucratic infighting between the FBI and Justice Department on the one hand, and the State Department on the other, and so it took them longer than they would have liked to get into country. They’ve now gotten there. But they still are unable to get permission to go to Benghazi.”

FBI agents have made a request through the U.S. State Department for the crime scene to be secured, Townsend said, but that has not happened.

“The senior law enforcement official I spoke to said, ‘If we get there now, it’s not clear that it will be of any use to us,’” Townsend said.

The FBI team has conducted interviews of State Department and U.S. government personnel who were in Libya at the time of the attack, Townsend said, but the FBI’s request to directly question individuals who Libyan authorities have in custody was denied.

This makes them look like fools. Just another poor reflection on federal law enforcement under this Administration. Secret Service cavorting with whores, ATF involved in sloppy political operations and cover-ups, and now the FBI can't even secure the crime scene that they are supposed to be investigating.

Morale in federal law enforcement must surely be at an all-time low with this Administration. The silence from our so-called law enforcement expert is deafening.

Nope-- My thinking is neither they- nor the State Dept folks should have been there in the first place... If it isn't a very stable country that can guarantee our representatives safety- tell them to stick it...

We should get out of all those countries...

considering what you said...

if a house or block is really rough.. just leave it.. if a neighborhood is bad.. just leave... a county bad.. stay away.. soon we cede a state... or two to instability... no since trying to solve a murder.. with a law enforcement attitude like that.. :?




if we just leave and forget about Libya.. it would leave all our overseas installations open for attack..

yep,.. just kill a ambassador and the gutless Americans will leave so we can take over another country..

I don't disagree that we should get out. But, we're there, and your President didn't provide enough security for our Ambassador and now he's dead. Your President said that the FBI would investigate and they're reportedly still not on the ground in Benghazi.

The FBI - our country's most elite law enforcement organization - not allowed to do their jobs. Like I said, this President has done more to diminish federal law enforcement than any other that I can recall. This is a disgusting and reprehensible way to treat our federal law enforcement agents and your silence on the issue is deafening.

Maybe those pussies at the FBI just need a CNN escort? LMAO

Maybe if the Ambassador had had the protection Valerie Jarret does when she is on vacation at the terrorists hotspot Martha's Vineyard he might still be alive Oldtimer. But Nope he is left like a sitting duck while she gets Secret Service Protection :roll:

Tonight on Huckabee they showed the Embassy building in Libya wasn't
up to standards and someone in the State department had to sign a
waiver that it was okay to inhabit the building "as is"...and there
are only three people in the State department that could do that......

DANGEROUS PLACE

The U.S. consulate in Benghazi had already been attacked by bombers in June. Britain closed its own mission on the same street after its ambassador survived a rocket attack on his convoy, also in June. Other foreign outposts, such as that of the Red Cross, have also come under attack.

While public opinion in Libya, and Benghazi in particular, is broadly pro-American because of the U.S. role in supporting the uprising that toppled Gaddafi, U.S. officials have warned of a threat from Islamist militants training in camps in hills nearby, including groups Washington says are linked to al Qaeda.

"By having an overt American presence in Benghazi," Ripley said, "They were making it an obvious target for anti-American groups, either demonstrators or more determined assailants.

"That would have warranted a more permanent and thorough security arrangement rather than the temporary and ad hoc structure that was in place."

The attack fell on the anniversary of the 2001 attacks on the United States, a date of particular security awareness.

The U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, was operating under a lower security standard than a typical consulate when it was attacked this month, according to State Department officials.

The mission was a rented villa and considered a temporary facility by the agency, which allowed a waiver that permitted fewer guards and security measures than a standard embassy or consulate, according to the officials

Allowing a waiver would have been a decision made with input from Washington, Libyan officials and the ambassador, according to diplomatic security experts.

“Someone made the decision that the mission in Benghazi was so critical that they waived the standard security requirements, which presents unique challenges to the diplomatic security service as you can imagine,”

The next question should be who approved the waiver.
