Catherine Herridge, Pamela K. Browne, Cyd Upson . . . They spoke exclusively with Fox News for “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” revealing new information that undermines the State Department's account of the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi, where Islamic militants launched a 13-hour assault from Sept. 11-12 that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, foreign service officer Sean Smith and former Navy SEALS Ty Woods and Glenn Doherty.
"Torres Advanced Enterprise Solutions provides security for U.S. embassy and consulate personnel around the world in some of the most dangerous locations spanning Africa, the Middle East and South America, according to the firm.
"Jerry Torres remains haunted by the fact specific bureaucrats and policies remain in the State Department after the Benghazi attack despite the change in administrations. "A U.S. ambassador is dead and nobody is held accountable for it. And three guys … all died trying to defend him," said Torres, the company’s CEO and a former Green Beret.
"Asked if there was a specific effort by a senior State Department contracting officer to silence them, Torres said, "Absolutely, absolutely." . . .
Security firm hired by State Department says bureaucrat silenced it about lapses in Benghazi . . . "But was it her incompetence or that of her superiors? Sending unarmed guards into a city like Benghazi that resembled old Dodge City on a Saturday night would be incomprehensible except that the policy was perfectly aligned to the mindset of State Department officials. These are the same people who refused to send help to the compound because they feared a backlash against the new U.S.-created Libyan government – a backlash that would have been caused by U.S. boots on the ground. Also, the compound was supposedly being additionally guarded by a local militia, who ended up standing aside once the assault began.

"Before Ambassador Stevens's body was cold, the State Department was planning the whitewash. None of what Mr. Torres told Fox News is surprising – just further confirmation of how badly botched the entire incident was. And the finger points right at Secretary of State Clinton." Rick Moran
