Today marks the one year anniversary of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the 2012 9/11 Benghazi terror attack. During that testimony Clinton infamously declared, "What difference does it make!" when pressed on how and why four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed. The Obama administration quickly said the incident was a result of a protest over an anti-Islam YouTube raging out of control but the evidence and witnesses declared the event a terrorist attack almost immediately after it happened. Last week, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence released a report that determined the attack, and the deaths of four Americans, could have been prevented.
Writing in the Wall Street Journal late yesterday former Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli (from July 31 to Dec. 7, 2012) Gregory Hicks, the last person to talk to Ambassador Stevens before he was killed, continued to express his frustration with the Obama administration's portrayal of the facts surrounding the attacks and recent accusations that Ambassador Stevens was responsible for his own death. After multiple threats, Ambassador Stevens repeatedly requested more security at the consulate and that security was repeatedly denied.

On Sept. 11, we had only nine diplomatic security agents under Chris's authority to protect our diplomatic personnel in Tripoli and Benghazi.
Chris Stevens was not responsible for the reduction in security personnel. His requests for additional security were denied or ignored. Officials at the State and Defense Departments in Washington made the decisions that resulted in reduced security. Sen. Lindsey Graham stated on the Senate floor last week that Chris "was in Benghazi because that is where he was supposed to be doing what America wanted him to do: Try to hold Libya together." He added, "Quit blaming the dead guy."
During congressional testimony last year, Hicks said the YouTube video was a "non-event" in Libya and said his jaw hit the floor when he learned the administration was blaming the attack on a video. Hicks, second-in-command to Stevens in Libya, was on the ground in Tripoli when the attack occurred and reported directly to Clinton immediately that the consulate was under attack. He never reported a protest.
"The only report that our mission made through every channel was that this was an attack," Hicks said. "No protest."
Since speaking out as a whistleblower about what happened in Benghazi, Hicks has faced retaliation from inside the State Department.

 One year after Clinton's testimony on Benghazi we still have very few answers about what happened and the families of those who were killed are far from receiving closure. What difference does it make? A hell of a difference.

State Dept. misplaced $6B under Hillary Clinton: IG report

The State Department misplaced and lost some $6 billion due to the improper filing of contracts during the past six years, mainly during the tenure of former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, according to a newly released Inspector General report.
The $6 billion in unaccounted funds poses a “significant financial risk and demonstrates a lack of internal control over the Department’s contract actions,” according to the report.
The alert, originally sent on March 20 and just released this week, warns that the missing contracting funds “could expose the department to substantial financial losses.”
The report centered on State Department contracts worth “more than $6 billion in which contract files were incomplete or could not be located at all,” according to the alert.
“The failure to maintain contract files adequately creates significant financial risk and demonstrates a lack of internal control over the Department’s contract actions,” the alert states.
The situation “creates conditions conducive to fraud, as corrupt individuals may attempt to conceal evidence of illicit behavior by omitting key documents from the contract file,” the report concluded.
The State Department’s inability to properly file its paperwork is causing most of the losses, according to the report.
The IG “found repeated examples of poor contract file administration” over the years, the report said.
Contracts related to the U.S. war in Iraq, for instance, could not be produced in 33 out of 115 instances, according to the report.
“A recent OIG audit of the closeout process for contracts supporting the U.S. Mission in Iraq revealed that contracting officials were unable to provide 33 of 115 contract files requested in accordance with the audit sampling plan,” the report states.
The value of the 33 “missing files” totaled $2.1 billion, according to the report.
Additionally, 48 of the 82 contract files that were produced “did not contain all of the documentation required by” internal regulations, according to the report.
The 48 “incomplete files” were worth another $2.1 billion, according to the report.
A further audit of the department’s Bureau of African Affairs found that administrators “were unable to provide complete contract administration files for any of the eight contracts that were reviewed.”
These contracts were worth $34.8 million.



The investigation also found instances in which a company owned by the spouse of a contractor employee was not properly documented.
“In the case of work undertaken by OIG’s Office of Investigations, one investigation revealed that a contract file did not contain documentation reflecting that modifications and task orders were awarded to the company owned by the spouse of a contractor employee performing as a Contract Specialist for the contract,” the report states.
The contract in question was worth $52 million.
The report outlines several other instances in which contracts worth great values were mishandled.
“In a number of recent OIG inspections, OIG identified contract file management deficiencies. For example, COR files for a $2.5 million contract lacked status reports and a tally of the funds expended and remaining on the contract,” the report states.
The State Department appeared to agree with the IG’s recommendations in a March 28 response and said that it intends to ensure that contracts are completed properly.
