#1 The radio report this morning said there were serious mistakes, "but apparently not serious enough to cost anyone their job."

#2 Unclassified State Dept. report? Who's going to put together and integrate the other smokestack reports: DOD, CIA, Executive branch, FBI, other intelligence agencies? Probably won't happen.

#4 Board members found that there was little understanding of militias in Benghazi and the threat they posed to U.S. interests.
Another way of saying.... Who Knew? Where there is "little understanding" (or gross ignorance), could it be someone failed in their duties with regard to 'due diligence regarding 'warnings and indications'? Could someone or a group of someone's be found "criminally negligent". I found no reference to criminal negligence in this document.

#8 To actually establish breech of duty is pretty difficult.
If you have a confused bunch of people with airy and ambiguous responsibilities and leadership which continuously provides incomprehensible direction, you can have all kinds of disasters without anybody breaching duty.

#9 The head of State Dept Security resigned. Find that interesting in that nobody will accept that as a sacrificial lamb, so why did he resign? Testifying perhaps?

#10 "but apparently not serious enough to cost anyone their job."
So far 3 State officials have resigned "under pressure." This is just the appetizer.

#12 "How many appointees and how many career service personnel?"
And how much was given to each under the table to pay them off?

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
