There’s fresh evidence that security at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was something less than first class. Documents recovered from the grounds of the American mission show that the guards there were paid an hourly rate of 5.21 Libyan Dinars — the equivalent of $4 per hour. Quoting: taniatarn ...a Washington Post reporter was able to walk the grounds of the now-discarded consulate, and pick up some rather sensitive documents. The papers included the employment agreement between British private security contractor Blue Mountain and the local guards they hired to protect the mission. The U.S. State Department paid Blue Mountain $783,000 to help secure the location. Blue Mountain paid the locals considerably less, and were require to cover their own transportation costs to the consulate, to boot. [link to www.wired.com] Hmm...well what can I say about that...you get what you pay for? And someones head should be rolling for this..... What happened to the rest of the money paid to Blue Mountain Security... Or is it a little convenient that papers were scattered around the compound for the reporter to find... Smells to me like an attempt to take the heat off and use Blue Mountain as a scapegoat... Interested observer of all things interesting!

More than three weeks after U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in Benghazi, Libya, sensitive documents remain in the wreckage of the U.S. Consulate, the Washington Post reported Wednesday. Documents detailing weapons collection efforts, emergency evacuation protocols, the full itinerary Stevens’ fateful trip and the personnel records of Libyans who were contracted to secure the mission were among the items scattered across the floors of the looted compound when a Post reporter and a translator visited Wednesday. [link to www.ibtimes.com] This has to be left like this for a reason...most likely so the reporter would find exactly what she found.... Interested observer of all things interesting!
