nternal email reveals that three months before fatal terrorist attack, an explosion at compound wall “created a fear factor when it came to working the night shift”

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained 130 pages of new State Department documents revealing that local security guards working for Blue Mountain Group (BMG), the firm hired to protect the U.S. Special Mission in Benghazi, repeatedly abandoned their posts “out of fear of their safety” in the months leading up to the deadly terrorist attack on the special mission compound.

The documents were obtained by Judicial Watch pursuant to a February 25, 2013, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 13-00243)) seeking the following information:

“Any and all records regarding, concerning, or related to the $387,413.68 contract awarded by the Department of State to an unidentified foreign awardee for “Security Guards and Patrol Services.” According to the record of this expenditure on USASpending.gov, the contract was signed on February 17, 2012 and May 3, 2012, and is identified by Award ID SAQMMA12C0092.”

According to the documents, on June 30, 2012, three months before the Benghazi terrorist attack, a Quality Assurance Compliance Report from Blue Mountain Libya to Department of State Contract Specialist Neal Kern warned that the number of local security guards leaving their posts had put the U.S. Benghazi Mission at risk:

Due to the amount of local guard force members leaving out of fear of their safety and the long process to security check individuals, it makes it very difficult to quickly react to a large drop in staff in quick succession as has been occurring with all the incidents especially when additional staff are requested.

the original security contract requisition for Bengazi included affirmative action guidelines calling for homosexual guards capable of Arabic.

if readers believe I’m joking or not I simply made that up then I do not blame you at all.

for a short time 4 or 5 years ago the Department of Justice affirmative action guideline called to hire members of any US bar who were both dwarf and also legally insane.

That absolutely does sound like a joke doesn’t it?

Alas.

did anyone catch the further Fox News interviews with the 3 survived Benghazi heroes today ? They stated that not only did this CIA ‘Bob’ dude repeatedly call for a ‘stand down’ on the night of Sept. 11 , that some weeks before ‘Bob’ also ordered a ‘stand down ‘ on a QRF being dispatched to come to the aide of Tyrone Woods and another contractor who were in a guns drawn show down with an Ansar al Shariah roadblock / hold up attempt. This situation almost got Woods and the other guy killed . BOB was involved . This ‘Bob’ guy needs t be out-ed and held to account for his sickening display of spinelessness .
