Get the information in a more accurate picture of what transpired and delivered to the American People with confidence, and pulling the pieces together in a way that we knew exactly who was responsible you know, for killing four of our americans and attacking our facilities. And, unfortunately, they didnt do that. It took so long in fact, it took 17 days for the director of National Intelligence even to issue a statement to say that it was a deliberate and organizeterrorist attack. Thats unacceptable in todays environment. Schieffer do you have any answers yet as to why we know that they had asked to maintain their the current level of security and that was turned down. Do we have any idea on what that decision was based on . No, and were still getting to the bottom of that. Thats one of my primary concerns. And thats certainly what im driving. First of all, why there was failure for Adequate Security at the temporary mission. And secondly, why they didnt assess the security risks pose

Renne at the last hearing we had in february said specifically i think that all city bodies should. Yes. And i think that we are in agreement on that.

Peter warfield, executive director of Library Users, i have had a long history with the library and unfortunately i can say that the new commissioner is mistaken. The job of the minutes is not necessarily to include anything that the commissioners say. Or anything that their officials might say,vy been to a lot with the Library Commission.
