Condi On Benghazi: Something Doesn't Seem Quite Right

Condi On Benghazi: Something Doesn't Seem Quite Right: At a St. Louis Speakers Series Tuesday night, Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice commented on the September 11 Benghazi attack:

“When you have the ambassador walking off to talk to the Turkish [consul general] in the courtyard on 9/11– something doesn’t seem quite right to me about the level of security preparations at the consulate. “When you hear Secretary Clinton talk about an Accountability Review Board, that’s what they will look at. It is headed by five retired officers…I think they’ll do a good job, but we need to know, and those decisions– it’s not clear where they were made in the State Department…The regional security officer is the head diplomatic security officer in the consulate. This one had come back in July, he had reportedly asked that some additional security be kept on the ground, so something didn’t get right in terms of the decisions about security on the ground prior to the attack.”
