I have searched for a blog or journalist to pick this up and post, at least, a partial transcript. Hunts' own words are emotional, jarring, and utterly factual by virtue of his personal knowledge of standard operating procedure when an embassy is attacked. This wasn't a mob; it wasn't a crime. It was a premediated, surgical, jihadist strike against our embassy---by definition, an act of war.
I keep thinking of that tragic mother of one of the slain who has gone public saying Hillary, Biden, the President, Rice, and Panetta all had individual, personal conversations with her to reassure her they will get to the bottom of this. Panetta even clasped his two hands around her face, so heartfelt was he.
I am more disgusted and outraged than I have words to describe. Hunt said the same thing happened in Mogadishu, and we all remember how horrifying that scene was, but in this case there was NO protest, NO mob-— just a surgical jihad operation viewed instantaneously in real time by governmental operations centers all over the world, including CIA, Dept of State and WH situation room, for over 6 hours.
Hunt said any military order would have had to originate from the WH, and there was none.
