State Dept Reverses Denial of Hiring British Security Firm in Benghazi

Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland admitted that she provided false information Friday about the State Department's hiring of private security firms for the American mission in Benghazi attacked on September 11th:

QUESTION: You also said there was no contract with a private security firm in Libya, and yet apparently some British security guards were hired. Is that your way of saying you didn’t contract with a firm but you did hire individual security guards?

MS. NULAND: Thank you for that, because there was an error in what I said. The external security, external armed security, as we have been saying, outside of the perimeter, was fully handled by the Libyan side. There was no contract – contracting out of that. There was a group called Blue Mountain Group, which is a private security company with permits to operate in Libya. They were hired to provide local Libyan guards who operated inside the gate doing things like operating the security access equipment, screening the cars, that kind of thing.

Please.

QUESTION: Just to clarify, they were contracted by the U.S. State Department or another agency – Blue Mountain?

MS. NULAND: They were contracted by the Department.

QUESTION: And Blue Mountain is a British company?

MS. NULAND: I’m going to let them self-identify on that front. But the people who were hired were Libyans.

Nothing. Literally, nothing on any news headlines on the web about this. It’s all about Romney and the Mother Jones tapes. The four dead Americans are turning in their graves right now. Out of the headlines within a day, no justice being sought by a single media outlet. Not even Fox is aggressively pursuing this. Disgraceful.

In 20 years, the Romney tape will be forgotten, but the dead Ambassador will still be on the list of dead Ambassadors, and this last week will be remembered.

I did see footage of the interview on either Lou Dobbs or Hannity tonight. Andrew McCarthy (federal Prosecutor the blind sheik) was covering parts of the story.

One more. Ping.

[Irenic]

Amazing, isn’t it.

[Viennacon]

We need a full show dedicated to this coverup and all the inconsistencies, and not one done by Whorealdo either. It can be proven that they are lying. We need to inform as many people as we can of that fact.

Thanks Jet J.

The list, Ping

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

Nuland continued with reporters, "There’s nothing else that I have that needs correcting at the moment."

Interesting statement???

[rawhide]

As Breitbart News reported on Tuesday, Blue Mountain Group is a British security firm hired by the State Department to provide security at the American mission in Benghazi. Blue Mountain Group was chosen by State, in part, because it was willing to accept the State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya that prohibited security guards at Benghazi from carrying weapons that contained bullets.

How can you provide security if you cannot carry bullets in your gun?

Silly, they use rubber bullets. You know, make believe kinds of things. These people make my arse hurt. I hope to God we get rid of this regime in November. If not, there’ll be no stopping their corruption and negligence.

This mac daddy administration tell so many lie that they lose track of what they said five minutes ago.

[livius]

This happened one week ago and it has already dropped from public consciousness in the US, and Obama has never had to explain anything.

The regime moved very quickly and actually shut down the US press over the weekend by announcing that they would not answer any more questions about it because it was an ongoing criminal (!) investigation.

This is part of their strategy of treating terrorism and even quasi-military foreign attacks as just isolated crimes and not connected to politics or ideology, in order to minimize their significance.

And the strategy of declaring it off-limits because of the FBI investigation has silenced even those members of the US press who might have wanted to pursue it.
