Diplomatic Security
Sep. 13th, 2012 09:10 amWhat ever happened to having US Marines guarding our embassies? Initial reports indicate that the Libyan "security" contractors directed the mob to where the ambassador was hiding, and then left.
Wissam Buhmeid, the commander of the Tripoli government-sanctioned Libya's Shield Brigade, effectively a police force for Benghazi, maintained that it was anger over the Mohamed video which made the guards abandon their post. "There were definitely people from the security forces who let the attack happen because they were themselves offended by the film; they would absolutely put their loyalty to the Prophet over the consulate. The deaths are all nothing compared to insulting the Prophet."
