State Dept. changed name of Benghazi compound so they could ignore security requirements

State Dept. changed name of Benghazi compound so they could ignore security requirements. Instead of calling it a “consulate,” Undersecretary of State Patrick Kennedy labeled it a “special mission compound,” a term he “made up” to “avoid the OSPB security standards.”

  • If they went that far to conceal their actions then they knew what they were doing was wrong. There needs to be justice... high level heads need to roll.

  • Hitler had special mission camps for the jews too.... results were about the same only this time the killers were outside not inside... So lets call the White House the Waffle House we can wonder in at all hours to see president Waffle and use the restrooms, order some food, and let your dog poop on the grass...A "special mission compound" yea that's it....

    • I don't think this Kennedy is related to those Kennedys. This one is a career State Dept. bureaucrat whose only previous brush with fame was when he covered up the pedophile ambassador in Belgium. I guess his reward for the cover-up was promotion to Undersecretary of State.

      • I don't know. The Kennedy family tree extends far and wide, much like the Clinton womanizing legacy.
        Just because there isn't a definable family line to THE Kennedy clan, doesn't mean he isn't one of them.
