The panel's vice chairman, Admiral Mike Mullen, presented the findings on December 18th.   
"The board found that the security posture at the special mission compound was inadequate for the threat environment in Benghazi and in fact grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place that night."
Clinton has accepted all 29 of the report's recommendations. Senator John Kerry, Clinton's nominated successor, praised her decisions at a congressional hearing.
"In fact, she's gone above and beyond the board's recommendations by taking immediate steps to strengthen security at high-threat posts and request from Congress the authority to reprogram funds to increase diplomatic security spending by $1.3 billion."
U.S. embassies attract not only protests like this one last year in Bangkok, but also terrorist attacks.9月11日,位于加班西的美国驻利比亚领事馆遇袭,随后,国务卿希拉里•克林顿召集了“问责审查委员会”就此案展开调查。
该调查委员会的副主席,海军上将麦克•马伦于12月18日递交了调查报告。
“调查发现,在班加西这样凶险的环境中,特使馆所拥有的安全措施是不到位的。事实上,根本没有足够的安全措施来处理当天发生的恐怖袭击。”
希拉里接受了该报告提出的所有29项建议。参议员约翰•凯里被奥巴马总统提名为下任国务卿,是希拉里的继任者,他在国会听证会上赞扬了希拉里的决策。
“她(希拉里)立即采取措施加强高危岗位的安全保障,并且向国会要求授权以增加13亿美元的外交安全支出,这样做已经远远超出了问责审查委员会的建议。”
除了像去年在曼谷遭遇的抗议示威,美国领事馆还遭到恐怖袭击。
