This was a very informative work, despite the multiple redactions. While it points out that there were many errors in judgement by State officials, the report definitely comes across as a Republican Congress "finger pointing" at a Democratic administration, while it is unclear what role Congress may have had in how and what decisions were made by State.

All in all, I suggest everyone give this a read (it's only 85 pages) and draw your own conclusions on what happened, whether or not it could have been prevented or had its severity reduced, and what we should do to prevent future similar attacks.

A copy of the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence report on the fiasco at Benghazi. Numerous points were made blaming different bureaus and agencies as well as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama for being more concerned with physical appearances. The two are accused of making false and uncaring statements to the American public about the lack of their attempts to protect American personnel . Additional views are given in the appendixes.

Barely Useful

With scant information about a secret operation, this report hides the
real purpose of the Benghazi " Annex ". Even more info was available
on the internet that answers the question as to what the Annex was there
for in the first place. After all, we already had a Libyan embassy in Tripoli.
It was a secret operation to funnel weapons to certain terrorists who would
assist the US in topplong Kaddafi and other interests the government had
In the middle east. The public would not have accepted this so therefore
a coverup! The false flag of 9/11 continues into the 19 th year. The Annex
Should never have been there in the first place. This alone should have
been enough to impeach Obama and shove Clinton out of politics.

Very interesting and informative, but a bit deep in places.
