Benghazi Questions, State Department Answers

The results of an independent investigation released this week probing the Benghazi attack contains information indicating the U.S. mission in Libya was involved in activities outside the diplomatic realm. The report, based on a probe led by former U.S. diplomat Thomas Pickering, calls the facility a “Special U.S. Mission.” The report contains information that clearly contradicts any claim that the special mission was to serve as a liaison office to the local government, It documents how the local government was not even informed of the existence of the mission.
