Grossly Inadequate Security, Leadership and Management Failure

Review board raps State Department for poor security in Benghazi - Washington Times

"... “grossly inadequate” security but says that poor leadership could not be punished ..."

"The report blames inadequate security at the mission on “systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels” of State Department headquarters, where officials turned down repeated requests from diplomats on the ground for more security, both at the embassy in Tripoli and in Benghazi."

These quotes are from a report on the internal investigation by the State Department on the events surrounding the killing of a US Ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012.

So we have gross inadequacies, and negligent leadership and management which contributed directly the events of that night, and there is no one to punish?  Is that the kind of government accountability we expect from this administration?
