Sounds like he is off to a good start:
---------------------------
Trey Gowdy’s first interrogation in the Benghazi hearings started off in true Gowdy fashion with the South Carolina representative grilling the Assistant Secretary of State for Diplomatic Security.
Questioning Gregory Starr, Gowdy, who’s heading the Select Committee for the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi two years ago, read a report from the 1999 Accountability Review Board (ARB) regarding a previous terrorist attack:
“We are disturbed that the inadequacy of resources to provide security against terrorist attacks. We are disturbed at the relative low priority accorded security concerns and we praise the ambassador for seeking security enhancements long before the attack.”
The ARB report was from the 1998 attacks on Nairobi and Dar es Salaam; however, Starr had no clue it was over a decade old. Gowdy said to him that “you can lay it almost perfectly over what happened in Benghazi.”
Gowdy started reading off recommendations from the 1999 ARB report, one of which was making essential security updates “immediately” should they realize there’s a threat. He then pressed the Assistant Secretary of State as to whether or not the State Department had been in contact with the Libyan government in the event of a security breach at the consulate.
“No, not at that time,” Starr replied, stating that there wasn’t a formal government in which to contact.
The next recommendation from the 1999 ARB report that Gowdy mentioned was that the Secretary of State is to “personally review” all security measures to ensure the safety of all diplomatic personnel. Gowdy pointed out the importance of the previous ARB stating that the Secretary is to ensure the proper security protocols are in place.
“Does the State Department still accept these recommendations from the 1999 ARB and is it being done?”
“Yes,” Starr replied.
