Of course I do. The story implies that those that provided physical security were the ones fired. The Gov employees were from the Intelligence Community, not security personnel, except for Ambassador Stevens’ personal security.

First of all, the US Department of State is a member - a very real member - of the US Intelligence Community. You’d be astounded by how many State Dep’t. employees at US embassies worldwide aren’t really State employees.

Stevens’ security should have been provided by the Diplomatic Security Service (part of State). It wasn’t. Steven’s security was provided by “contractors” because of what was going on in Benghazi. Besides Stevens, the only State/US Government employee at the compound was Sean Smith, a State IT specialist.
