The article "security at US consulate Benghazi in disarray prior to 2012 attack" reveals new information about the state of the security of the benghazi consulate of the day of the attack in 2012. This new information was acquired through emails that have recently been released. The emails state that the sonsulate was being gaurded through an independent security agency located in Libya. However, these emails also state that this independent contractor was not legally allowed to work in Libya because their license was considered invalid. It has been determined that the security status for the consulate was at an emergency level mere hours before the attacks began. These attacks ended up killing 4 americans.
The people located in this consulate were employees of the state department. It was the state departments job to supply them with the necessary security for them to be safe in a very dangerous part of the world. The inability of the state department to control the situation was what led to the loss of american lives. It has been 2 years since this event and we are only now finding out that there was in fact a failure on our governments part to keep its own employees and citizens out of harms way. There has been a lot of speculation as to what exactly happened on the day of the attack, but these emails paint a clearer picture of how much the current administration is attempting to hide from the public about this unfortunate event.
