  Thank you.
  We are offering 7prn to Holder and waiting to hear if he would like to speak secure.

  Yes, just confirmed that Dan will come at 9am tomorrow.
  Ops can pick up the pouch in about 30 minutes. Does that work for you? Secret Service can grab it from the bench if
  you'd like.

  Subject: Stevens update
  Security: Today's focus is on the security situation in Benghazi. There is new local reporting that hotels are being
  targeted. The INC conducted a raid on a house/storage facility and found and arrested an Egyptian cell reportedly there
  for the purpose of attacking hotels. It is believed they were connected to the cell arrested last week, and that
  Interrogation of those arrested earlier led to this round of arrests. Ahmed Qadafadarn, cousin of Qadhafi who was
  envoy to Egypt (and was rumored to have defected), is purportedly the funder and organizer of this cell.
  CA updated its travel guidance to tell travelers to stay away from the Fadihi Hotel. Stevens will inform the INC this
  afternoon. [NOTE: for your reference, I appended the new WM at the end of this email.]
  Stevens will be meeting with MFA in one hour and will make a written request for better security at the hotel and
  for better security-related coordination. He still feels comfortable in the hotel. They are looking into the idea of moving
  into a villa, but that is some way off. Need to consider resource requirements (would need TDY'er with authority to sign
  lease, hire local guards, etc.). Based on discussion with DS yesterday, the hotel remains the safest location. Stevens will
  continue to work to have the TNC post more people outside and beef up security presence. They have a good set back
  and are way off the ground.
  Flights: Stevens checked with head of the airport. There are no regular humanitarian or other flights, however,
  there are flights coming in and the airport could support an air bridge if any country wanted to sat one up. Stevens will
  see his European counterparts this afternoon and will ask how they are bringing in their people and whether we can be
  part of it.
  - Trip to Rome: Stevens doesn't know yet if Jai is going to Rome. As of now, he's inclined not to go but he might
  change his mind. If the Department thinks he ought to go, Stevens can pass that message. As it stands now Mahmoud
  Jabril and All Tarhouni will be going.
  Misrata: Stevens spoke with Brig. Gen. Hassi re Misrata. The general was pretty dear that the ostensible move by
  Qadhafi forces out of the area is a ruse. They are withdrawing troops so they won't be hit by NATO, but will send them
  back in in civilian clothing so they can continue killing that way. Hassi said the assertion Qadhafi would leave to the
  tribes to resolve was ridiculous because there are no armed tribes around.

  Subject: Stevens Update On Benghazi -- 4/26 7arn
  All:
  Ops has provided below the latest Stevens update on Benghazi:
  • Traffkaccidenti Police have accepted the USG version of the story: that it was an accident and the
  victims were not wearing seathelts. The USG employees were returning from the airport when the
  incident occurred. A total of four people died and six injured. USG employee Mjuries are light if any.
  Our people are standing by pending official USG instructions. Stevens notes there is a UK flight
  tomorrow they could be on if necessary. The TNC wants to do a press release to quell the rumor mill.
  Stevens will send the draft back to Department for L and PA clearance.
  • The British envoy departs tomorrow on permanent change of station. There will be a gap before his
  replacement, John Jenkins, arrives from Baghdad.
  • INC head Malunoud fibril will be going to Jordan and will not be back in Benghazi until Friday. The
  development is likely to he met with additional criticism that he is spending too much time abroad at the
  expense of other government affairs.
  Thanks,

  Dear Colleagues,
  S/E Chris Stevens provided the following update from Benghazi at 1200 EDT to Embassy Tripoli DCM
  Polaschik and NEA/MAG Director Roebuck:
  Traffic accident: Following discussions with S/E Stevens and other USG officials, the TNC has
  agreed not to issue any public statement regarding the accident. S/E Stevens' USG
  colleagues are waiting for guidance from their HQ regarding proposed compensation of
  52,000 Libyan dinars ($43,312): 13,000 ($10,828) per victim, to cover funeral costs and other
  compensation. TNC will accompany S/E Stevens on his courtesy calls on the families, to take
  place either today or tomorrow. In the view of S/E Stevens, the TNC has been handling this
  incident in a professional and low-profile manner.
  [Note: S/E Stevens separately provided the following details of the accident: The U.S. vehicle
  was traveling back from the Benghazi airport at moderate speed. The U.S. vehicle was struck
  by the Libyan vehicle going at high speed in an intersection. As a correction to earlier
  information - four people were killed and only two were injured.]
  Police chief: S/E Stevens met with the Benghazi chief of police today, following discussions
  related to the accident. The police chief is a university professor who took on these police
  duties after the revolution. According to the police chief, there are only 3,000 police in the
  Benghazi area, down from 6,000 prior to the revolution. Many police simply did not return to
  their jobs after the revolution, as they feared retaliation. EU and UK reps have met with the

  police chief to discuss possible assistance; the UK is offering body armor and radios, and is
  chairing a local donor coordination working group on security issues.
  TNC aoverning capacity: Following up on concerns raised by the UK Envoy regarding the
  TNC's governing capacities, S/E Stevens said that there are indeed gaps in the TNC's structure
  and services, as well as some concerns regarding PM-equivalent Mahmoud _fibril's prolonged
  absences from Benghazi. However, the TNC is taking steps to address these concerns. The
  Council is holding meetings this week to appoint Ministers-equivalent for Interior and Justice,
  and will hold its first cabinet meetings this weekend (April 30-May 1) after Jibril returns from
  abroad. While S/E Stevens shares the UK's concerns regarding the INC's governing
  capacities, he does not think there is a need yet to address this directly with the INC. SiE
  Stevens recommends that we wait to see how the INC addresses these issues over the next
  week.

  Subject: Special Envoy Stevens report from Benghazi 4/26 0700 (SBU) B6
  Special Envoy Stevens reported at 0700 EDT on 4/26:
  • Traffic accident: Police have accepted the USG version of the story: that it was an accident and the
  victims were not wearing seatbelts. The USG employees were returning from the airport when the
  incident occurred. A total of four people died and six injured. USG employee injuries are light if any,
  Our people are standing by pending official USG instructions. Stevens notes there is a UK flight
  tomorrow they could be on if necessary. The TNC wants to do a press release to quell the rumor mill.
  Stevens will send the draft back to Department for L and PA clearance.
  • The British envoy departs tomorrow on permanent change of station. There will be a gap before his
  replacement, John Jenkins, arrives from Baghdad.
  • TNC head Mahmoud fibril will be going to Jordan and will not be back in Benghazi until Friday. The
  development is likely to be met with additional criticism that he is spending too much time abroad at
  the expense of other government affairs.

  Re: Bin Laden, AQ & Libya
  Latest report:
  During the early morning of May 2, 2011 sources with access to the leadership of the Libyan rebellion's ruling Transitional
  National Council (TNC) stated in confidence that they are concerned that the death of al Qa'ida leader Osama Bin Laden
  will inspire al Qa'ida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) to use weapons they have obtained, which were originally intended
  for the rebels in Libya, to retaliate against the United States and its allies for this attack in Pakistan. These individuals fear
  that the use of the weapons in this manner will complicate the TNC's relationship with NATO and the United States,
  whose support is vital to them in their struggle with the forces of Muammar al Qaddafi. In this regard they are concerned
  that U.S. officials will believe reports, often created by the Tripoli Government, regarding the degree of influence exercised
  by AQIM on the TNC.
  These individuals note that the INC officials are reacting to reports received during the week of April 25 from their own
  sources of information, the French General Directorate for External Security (DOSE), and British external intelligence
  service (MI-6), stating that AQIM has acquired about 10 SAM 7- Grail/Streela man-portable air-defense systems
  (MANPADS or MPADS) from illegal weapons markets in Western Niger and Northern Mali. These weapons were
  originally intended for sale to the rebel forces in Libya, but AQIM operatives were able to meet secretly with these arms
  dealers and purchase the equipment. The acquisition of these sophisticated weapons creates a serious threat to air traffic
  in Southern Morocco, Algeria, Northern Mali, Western Niger, and Eastern Mauritania.
  (Source Comment: According to very sensitive sources, the Libyan rebels are concerned that AQIM may also obtain
  SPIGOTT wire-guided anti-tank missiles and an unspecified number of Russian anti-tank mines made of plastic and
  undetectable by anti-mine equipment. This equipment again was coming through Niger and Mali, and was intended for the
  rebels in Libya. They note that AQIM is very strong in this region of Northwest Africa.)
  In the opinion of these knowledgeable individuals, Libyan rebel commanders are also concerned that the death of Bin
  Laden comes at a time when sensitive information indicates that the leaders of AQIM are planning to launch attacks
  across North Africa and Europe in an effort to reassert their relevance during the ongoing upheavals in Libya, as well as
  the rest of North Africa and the Middle East. They believe the first step in this campaign was the April 30 bombing of a
  cafe in Marrakesh, Morocco that is frequented by Western tourists. These individuals point out that AQIM also maintains
  a wide reach in Europe.

  The TNC leaders are also concerned that, with the death of Saif al-Arab Qaddafi, the youngest son of Muammar Qaddafi,
  the Tripoli Government may pursue retaliation against the United States and its Western allies through surrogate terrorist
  groups, particularly Hezbollah. While the deaths of Sin Laden and Saif al-Arab are completely unrelated, two separate
  and very dangerous groups will now be looking for revenge against the U.S. and its allies.
  (Source Comment These knowledgeable sources believe that the leaders of the TNC are also worried about the reaction
  to the death of Bin Laden among rebel fighters and their supporters in Libya and Egypt, where the al Qa'ida leader was
  very popular. These INC officials do not want the death of Bin Laden to affect their relations with the West or their
  support from NATO, the U.S., France, or Great Britain.)

  Re: Bin Laden, AQ & Libya
  Latest report:
  During the early morning of May 2, 2011 sources with access to the leadership of the Libyan rebellion's ruling Transitional
  National Council (TNC) stated in confidence that they are concerned that the death of al Qa'ida leader Osama Bin Laden
  will inspire al Qa'ida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) to use weapons they have obtained, which were originally intended
  for the rebels in Libya, to retaliate against the United States and its allies for this attack in Pakistan. These individuals fear
  that the use of the weapons in this manner will complicate the INC 's relationship with NATO and the United States,
  whose support is vital to them in their struggle with the forces of Muarnmar al Qaddafi. In this regard they are concerned
  that U.S. officials will believe reports, often created by the Tripoli Government, regarding the degree of influence exercised
  by AQIM on the INC.
  These individuals note that the TNC officials are reacting to reports received during the week of April 25 from their own
  sources of information, the French General Directorate for External Security (DGSE), and British external intelligence
  service (MI-6), stating that AQIM has acquired about 10 SAM 7- Grail/Streela man-portable air-defense systems
  (MANPADS or MPADS) from illegal weapons markets in Western Niger and Northern Mali. These weapons were
  originally intended for sale to the rebel forces in Libya, but AQIM operatives were able to meet secretly with these arms
  dealers and purchase the equipment. The acquisition of these sophisticated weapons creates a serious threat to air traffic
  in Southern Morocco, Algeria, Northern Mali, Western Niger, and Eastern Mauritania.
  (Source Comment. According to very sensitive sources, the Libyan rebels are concerned that AQIM may also obtain
  SPIGOTT wire-guided anti-tank missiles and an unspecified number of Russian anti-tank mines made of plastic and
  undetectable by anti-mine equipment. This equipment again was coming through Niger and Mali, and was intended for the
  rebels in Libya. They note that AQIM is very strong in this region of Northwest Africa.)

  In the opinion of these knowledgeable individuals, Libyan rebel commanders are also concerned that the death of Bin
  Laden comes at a time when sensitive information indicates that the leaders of AQIM are planning to launch attacks
  across North Africa and Eurcipe in an effort to reassert their relevance during the ongoing upheavals in Libya, as well as
  the rest of North Africa and the Middle East. They believe the first step in this campaign was the April 30 bombing of a
  cafe in Marrakesh, Morocco that is frequented by Western tourists. These individuals point out that AQIM also maintains
  a wide reach in Europe.
  The TNC leaders are also concerned that, with the death of Saif al-Arab Qaddafi, the youngest son of Muammar Qaddafi,
  the Tripoli Government may pursue retaliation against the United States and its Western allies through surrogate terrorist
  groups, particularly Hezbollah. While the deaths of Bin Laden and Saif al-Arab are completely unrelated, two separate
  and very dangerous groups will now be looking for revenge against the U.S. and its allies.
  (Source Comment: These knowledgeable sources believe that the leaders of the INC are also worried about the reaction
  to the death of Bin Laden among rebel fighters and their supporters in Libya and Egypt, where the al Qa'ida leader was
  very popular. These TNC officials do not want the death of Bin Laden to affect their relations with the West or their
  support from NATO, the U.S., France, or Great Britain.)

  Subject: Q re HbJ
  Jake,
  The Secretary asked me this afternoon about timing for a call/meeting with Hb1 on the Syrian opposition. I told
  her wanted to consult with Robert to double check on this:
  Robert agrees that 1-1131 remains quite involved in the Syria issue. For instance, when he was in the London meeting on
  the Syria opposition just before UNGA, the Qatari rep got Hill on the phone in minutes during the meeting to weigh in
  on a Q re the SNC — and HbJ's view carried the day.
  We are now sending to Amb Susan Ziadeh the list of organizations that we want to Qataris to contact inside Syria to ask
  them to choose reps to send to Doha. We are also sending her the list of names we are socializing for consideration for
  the 'political council" Susan can discuss these lists in Doha on Sunday, so it would make sense for S to wait until
  Monday or Tuesday to engage with HbJ on some of these ideas for managing the conference and its outcomes.
  Robert confirms that there is a lot of talk about the Doha meeting being postponed for a few days, but there is no new
  firm date. We are quite comfortable with a delay as it gives us (and others) time to press for good
  representation/participation and a better outcome. The idea of a follow-on conference in Cairo is still very much alive.
  She suggested she might also check with Hb1 on whether he is planning a trip here anytime soon. Meeting him in person
  would be great if he's planning a trip here.
  II send a note up on Monday with some ideas on the Libya meeting that the Secretary asked about.
  Beth

  Re: Bin Laden, AQ & Libya
  Latest report:
  During the early morning of May 2, 2011 sources with access to the leadership of the Libyan rebellion's ruling Transitional
  National Council (TNC) stated in confidence that they are concerned that the death of al Qa'ida leader Osama Bin Laden
  will inspire al Qa'ida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) to use weapons they have obtained, which were originally intended
  for the rebels in Libya, to retaliate against the United States and its allies for this attack in Pakistan. These individuals fear
  that the use of the weapons in this manner will complicate the TNC's relationship with NATO and the United States,
  whose support is vital to them in their struggle with the forces of Muammar al Qaddafi. In this regard they are concerned
  that U.S. officials will believe reports, often created by the Tripoli Government, regarding the degree of influence exercised
  by AQIM on the TNC.
  These individuals note that the TNC officials are reacting to reports received during the week of April 25 from their own
  sources of information, the French General Directorate for External Security (DGSE), and British external intelligence
  service (MI-6), stating that AQIM has acquired about 10 SAM 7- Grail/Streela man-portable air-defense systems
  (MANPADS or MPADS) from illegal weapons markets in Western Niger and Northern Mali. These weapons were
  originally intended for sale to the rebel forces in Libya, hut AQIM operatives were able to meet secretly with these arms
  dealers and purchase the equipment. The acquisition of these sophisticated weapons creates a serious threat to air traffic
  in Southern Morocco, Algeria, Northern Mali, Western Niger, and Eastern Mauritania.
  (Source Comment: According to very sensitive sources, the Libyan rebels are concerned that AQIM may also obtain
  SPIGOTT wire-guided anti-tank missiles and an unspecified number of Russian anti-tank mines made of plastic and
  undetectable by anti-mine equipment. This equipment again was coming through Niger and Mali, and was intended for the
  rebels in Libya. They note that AQIM is very strong in this region of Northwest Africa.)

  In the opinion of these knowledgeable individuals, Libyan rebel commanders are also concerned that the death of Bin
  Laden comes at a time when sensitive information indicates that the leaders of AQIM are planning to launch attacks
  across North Africa and Europe in an effort to reassert their relevance during the ongoing upheavals in Libya, as well as
  the rest of North Africa and the Middle East. They believe the first step in this campaign was the April 30 bombing of a
  café in Marrakesh, Morocco that is frequented by Western tourists. These individuals point out that AQIM also maintains
  a wide reach in Europe.
  The INC leaders are also concerned that, with the death of Sail al-Arab Qaddafi, the youngest son of Muammar Qadclafi,
  the Tripoli Government may pursue retaliation against the United States and its Western allies through surrogate terrorist
  groups, particularly Hezbollah, While the deaths of Bin Laden and Sag al-Arab are completely unrelated, two separate
  and very dangerous groups will now be looking for revenge against the U.S. and its allies.
  (Source Comment: These knowledgeable sources believe that the leaders of the INC are also worried about the reaction
  to the death of Bin Laden among rebel fighters and their supporters in Libya and Egypt, where the al Qa'ida leader was
  very popular. These TNC officials do not want the death of Bin Laden to affect their relations with the West or their
  support from NATO, the U.S., France, or Great Britain.)

  Re: Bin Laden, AQ & Libya
  Latest report:
  During the early morning of May 2, 2011 sources with access to the leadership of the Libyan rebellion's ruling Transitional
  National Council (TNC) stated in confidence that they are concerned that the death of al Qa'ida leader Osama Bin Laden
  will inspire al Qa`ida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) to use weapons they have obtained, which were originally intended
  for the rebels in Libya, to retaliate against the United States and its allies for this attack in Pakistan. These individuals fear
  that the use of the weapons in this manner will complicate the TNC's relationship with NATO and the United States,
  whose support is vital to them in their struggle with the forces of Muammar al Qaddafi. In this regard they are concerned
  that U.S. officials will believe reports, often created by the Tripoli Government, regarding the degree of influence exercised
  by AQIM on the TNC.
  These individuals note that the TNC officials are reacting to reports received during the week of April 25 from their own
  sources of information, the French General Directorate for External Security (DGSE), and British external intelligence
  service (MI-6), stating that AQIM has acquired about 10 SAM 7- Grail/Streela man-portable air-defense systems

  or MPADS) from illegal weapons markets in Western Niger and Northern Mali. These weapons were
  originally intended for sale to the rebel forces in Libya, but AQIM operatives were able to meet secretly with these arms
  dealers and purchase the equipment. The acquisition of these sophisticated weapons creates a serious threat to air traffic
  in Southern Morocco, Algeria, Northern Mali, Western Niger, and Eastern Mauritania.
  (Source Comment: According to very sensitive sources, the Libyan rebels are concerned that AQIM may also obtain
  SPIGOTT wire-guided anti-tank missiles and an unspecified number of Russian anti-tank mines made of plastic and
  undetectable by anti-mine equipment. This equipment again was coming through Niger and Mali, and was intended for the
  rebels in Libya. They note that AQIM is very strong in this region of Northwest Africa.)
  In the opinion of these knowledgeable individuals, Libyan rebel commanders are also concerned that the death of Bin
  Laden comes at a time when sensitive information indicates that the leaders of AQIM are planning to launch attacks
  across North Africa and Europe in an effort to reassert their relevance during the ongoing upheavals in Libya, as well as
  the rest of North Africa and the Middle East. They believe the first stop In this campaign was the April X) bombing of a
  cafe in Marrakesh, Morocco that is frequented by Western tourists. These individuals point out that AQIM also maintains
  a wide reach in Europe.
  The INC leaders are also concerned that, with the death of Salt al-Arab Qaddafi, the youngest son of Muammar Qaddafi,
  the Tripoli Government may pursue retaliation against the United States and its Western allies through surrogate terrorist
  groups, particularly Herb°Mk While the deaths of Bin Laden and Saif al-Arab are completely unrelated, two separate
  and very dangerous groups will now be looking for revenge against the U.S. and its allies.
  (Source Comment: These knowledgeable sources believe that the loaders of the INC are also worried about the reaction
  to the death of Bin Laden among rebel fighters and their supporters in Libya and Egypt, where the al Qa'ida leader was
  very popular. These INC officials do not want the death of Bin Laden to affect their relations with the West or their
  support from NATO, the U.S., France, or Great Britain.)

  Libyan Ambassador's Death Not a Political Issue, Says Dad
  By Margaret Talev on October 14, 2012
  BusinessWeek
  Bloomberg News
  The father of Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya who was killed in the attack in Benghazi last month, said
  his son's death shouldn't be politicized in the presidential campaign.
  "it would really be abhorrent to make this into a campaign issue," Jan Stevens, 77, said in a telephone interview from his
  home in Loomis, California, as he prepares for a memorial service for his son next week.
  Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee, has criticized President Barack Obama for not providing adequate security in
  Libya, saying the administration has left the country exposed to a deadly terrorist attack.
  The ambassador's father, a lawyer, said politicians should await the findings of a formal investigation before making
  accusations or judgments.
  "The security matters are being adequately investigated," Stevens said. "We don't pretend to be experts in security. It
  has to be objectively examined. That's where it belongs. It does not belong in the campaign arena." Stevens said he has
  been getting briefings from the State Department on the progress of the investigation.
  'Very Optimistic'
  Stevens said while he was close with his son, "we weren't that familiar with the day-to-day activities' he undertook in
  Libya. On the occasions when his son called home, Stevens said, he didn't share many details about his work other than
  to say that "he was very optimistic about the results of the election and the new government." They last spoke by phone
  in August and by e-mail days before his son's death.

  Stevens, a registered Democrat, said he isn't politically active. He declined to say how he'll vote in the presidential
  election.
  He said his son, who was a career diplomat and had worked for Republican and Democratic presidents, hadn't expressed
  concerns to him about security or support from the administration. "He felt very strongly about Secretary Clinton,"
  Stevens said, referring to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "He felt she was an extremely able person."
  As for whether he had the tools and protection he needed for his job, Stevens said of his son: "We didn't get into that"
  sort of discussion. "I never heard him say a critical word about the State Department or the administration, or any
  administration for that matter. He came up through the foreign service, not politics."
  Obama Call
  Stevens said neither of the two presidential campaigns reached out to him, and that he is grateful for that. He said
  Obama telephoned him after his son's death to express his regrets and talk about identifying the perpetrators who
  should be brought to justice, and that the conversation was in the context of his presidential duties and not political.
  While polls indicate that voters say Obama would do a better job on foreign policy issues, Republicans see an
  opportunity to cut into that advantage, pointing to surveys showing that voters have grown less satisfied since the Sept.
  11 assault in Libya.
  Stevens stopped short of directly criticizing either candidate.
  "I'm not sure exactly what he's been saying and not saying, but our position is it would be a real shame if this were
  politicized," Stevens said, referring to Romney. "Our concern now is memorializing Chris and remembering his
  contribution to the country."
  Campaign Shift
  Romney's current foreign policy position marks a shift in tone from a campaign that has focused almost exclusively on
  economic issues and jobs.
  The Romney team is attempting to link two campaign messages by charging Obama with weakening American interests
  abroad at the same time as he's failed to boost the economy back home.
  Speaking to voters on Oct. 12 in Richmond, Virginia, Romney chastised Vice President Joe Biden for his defense of the
  administration's actions in the Libya attack.
  "He's doubling down on denial, and we need to understand exactly what happened as opposed to just having people
  brush this aside," Romney said.
  During last week's vice presidential debate, Biden said the White House wasn't told of a request for additional security
  at the mission in Benghazi the month before the incident.
  State Department official Eric Nordstrom, who served as a regional security officer in Tripoli until July, told a
  congressional committee that he was turned down when he requested an extension of a 16-member security support
  team that was scheduled to leave Libya in August.

  Romney hasn't specified what he would do differently than the administration in Libya. In a speech at the Virginia
  Military Institute earlier last week, he called for support of Libya's "efforts to forge a lasting government" and to pursue
  the "terrorists who attacked our consulate."
  That view is at odds with the position Romney took more than a year ago, when he opposed expanding the intervention
  in Libya to capture Muammar Qaddafi, calling it "mission creep and mission muddle" in April 2011.
  Neither the administration's initial public report that the attack began with a spontaneous demonstration against an
  anti- Islamic video clip nor Republican suggestions that it was a planned attack tied to al-Qaeda are supported by U.S.
  intelligence reports or by accounts of the night provided to a Bloomberg reporter by Benghazi residents.
  White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters that "the president wants to get to the bottom of what
  happened."
  Carney also sought to minimize questions about why the president and other administration officials were slow to
  publicly acknowledge the role of terrorism in the attack.
  "As time went on, additional information became available," Carney said. "Clearly, we know more today than we did on
  the Sunday after the attack. But as the process moves forward and more information becomes available, we will be sure
  to continue consulting with you."

  Here is Susan on this week. She wasn't asked about whether we had any intel. But she did make clear our
  view that this started spontaneously and then evolved. The only troubling sentence relates to the
  investigation, specifically: And we'll see when the investigation unfolds whether what was -- what
  transpired in Benghazi might have unfolded differently in different circumstances." But she got pushed
  there.
  Waiting on other transcripts.
  For more on what happened and why, let's bring in the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Dr. Susan
  Rice. Dr. Rice, thank you for joining us.
  RICE: Good to be with you, Jake.
  TAPPER: So, first of all, what is the latest you can tell us on who these attackers were at the embassy or at
  the consulate in Benghazi? We're hearing that the Libyans have arrested people. They're saying that some
  people involved were from outside the country, that there might have even been Al Qaida ties. What's the
  latest information?
  RICE: Well, Jake, first of all, it's important to know that there's an FBI investigation that has begun and
  will take some time to be completed. That will tell us with certainty what transpired.
  But our current best assessment, based on the information that we have at present, is that, in fact, what
  this began as, it was a spontaneous -- not a premeditated -- response to what had transpired in Cairo. In
  Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this
  very offensive video that was disseminated.
  We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to -- or to the consulate,
  rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo. And then as that unfolded, it seems to
  have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons,
  weapons that as you know in -- in the wake of the revolution in Libya are -- are quite common and
  accessible. And it then evolved from there.

  We'll wait to see exactly what the investigation finally confirms, but that's the best information we have at
  present.
  TAPPER: Why was there such a security breakdown? Why was there not better security at the compound
  in Benghazi? Why were there not U.S. Marines at the embassy in Tripoli?
  RICE: Well, first of all, we had a substantial security presence with our personnel...
  TAPPER: Not substantial enough, though, right?
  RICE: ... with our personnel and the consulate in Benghazi. Tragically, two of the four Americans who
  were killed were there providing security. That was their function. And indeed, there were many other
  colleagues who were doing the same with them.
  It obviously didn't prove sufficient to the -- the nature of the attack and sufficient in that -- in that
  moment. And that's why, obviously, we have reinforced our remaining presence in Tripoli and why the
  president has very -- been very clear that in Libya and throughout the region we are going to call on the
  governments, first of all, to assume their responsibilities to protect our facilities and our personnel, and
  we're reinforcing our facilities and our -- our embassies where possible...
  TAPPER: But why...
  RICE: ... and where needed.
  TAPPER: Why would we not have Marines at the embassy in Tripoli to begin with? It would seem like this
  -- this is obviously an unstable country. This is a region where U.S. interests have been attacked in
  previous months. Why were there not Marines there to begin with?
  RICE: First of all, there are Marines in some places around the world. There are not Marines in every
  facility. That depends on the circumstances. That depends on the requirements. Our presence in Tripoli,
  as in Benghazi, is relatively new, as you will recall. We've been back post-revolution only for a matter of
  months.
  But I've visited there myself, both to Tripoli and Benghazi. I was very grateful to have a strong security
  presence with me as part of our -- our embassy detachment there. So we certainly are aware that Libya is a
  place where there have been increasingly some violent incidents. The security personnel that the State
  Department thought were required were in place. And we'll see when the investigation unfolds whether
  what was -- what transpired in Benghazi might have unfolded differently in different circumstances.
  But the president has been very clear. The protection of American personnel and facilities is and will
  remain our top priority. That's why we've reinforced our presence in Tripoli and elsewhere.

  TAPPER: Look at this map, if you would. There have been protests around the world over the last several
  days. And President Obama pledged to repair America's relationships with the Muslim world. Why does
  the U.S. seem so impotent? And why is the U.S. even less popular today in some of these Muslim and Arab
  countries than it was four years ago?
  RICE: Jake, we're not impotent. We're not even less popular, to challenge that assessment. I don't know
  on what basis you make that judgment. But let me -- let me point...
  TAPPER: It just seems that the U.S. government is powerless as this -- as this maelstrom erupts.
  RICE: It's actually the opposite. First of all, let's be clear about what transpired here. What happened this
  week in Cairo, in Benghazi, in many other parts of the region...
  TAPPER: Tunisia, Khartoum...
  RICE: ... was a result a direct result of a heinous and offensive video that was widely disseminated, that
  the U.S. government had nothing to do with, which we have made clear is reprehensible and disgusting.
  We have also been very clear in saying that there is no excuse for violence, there is -- that we have
  condemned it in the strongest possible terms.
  But let's look at what's happened. It's quite the opposite of being impotent. We have worked with the
  governments in Egypt. President Obama picked up the phone and talked to President Morsi in Egypt. And
  as soon as he did that, the security provided to our personnel in our embassies dramatically increased.
  President Morsi...
  TAPPER: It took two days for President Morsi to say anything about this.
  RICE: President Morsi has been out repeatedly and said that he condemns this violence. He's called off --
  and his people have called off any further demonstrations and have made very clear that this has to stop.
  (CROSSTALK)
  RICE: Now, and and same, frankly, in Tunisia, in Yemen, and, of course, in Libya, where the
  government has -- has gone out of its way to try to step up security and express deepest remorse for what
  has happened. We are quite popular in Libya, as you might expect, having been a major partner in their
  revolution. What transpired outside of our consulate in Benghazi was not an expression of deep-seated
  anti-Americanism on the part of the Libyan people. Quite the contrary. The counter-demonstrations, the
  outpouring of sympathy and support for Ambassador Stevens and for the United States, the government
  of Libya and -- and the people on the street saying how pained they are by this, is much more a reflection
  of the sentiment towards the United States than a small handful of heavily armed mobsters.

  TAPPER: That certainly, according to polling, is the case in Libya. Not the case in Egypt. And since you
  brought up President Morsi, let me try to get some clarification on something. President Obama was asked
  about the relationship with Egypt on Wednesday, and this is what he said.
  (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
  OBAMA: I don't think that we would consider them an ally, but we don't consider them an enemy. They
  are a new government that is trying to find its way.
  (END VIDEO CLIP)
  TAPPER: The United States has sent billions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer money to Egypt over the last few
  decades. And by definition, as you know, according to the State Department, Egypt is a major non-NATO
  ally of the United States. Why would President Obama say Egypt is not an ally?
  RICE: Well, first of all, the president has been very clear and -- and everybody understands that Egypt is a
  very critical partner of the United States, has long been so. That relationship remains the same, and the
  president wasn't signaling any change in -- in the nature...
  TAPPER: Was he trying to nudge Morsi?
  RICE: The president wasn't signaling any change in the nature of our relationship. Obviously, the
  president had a conversation with President Morsi and a very productive one, in which he underscored
  that it's, of course, the responsibility of the Egyptian government as host to protect diplomatic personnel
  and facilities, including our own, and we saw that President Morsi, immediately after that, took dramatic
  steps to improve the security of our facilities in Cairo and elsewhere, and then went out and repeatedly
  made a number of very important and powerful statements condemning the violence and conveying the
  message that, however hateful such a video may be, there is absolutely no justification for violence against
  the United States or other Western partners.
  So what we've seen is that the president has been incredibly calm, incredibly steady, and incredibly
  measured in his approach to this set of developments. And his interventions, his leadership has ensured
  that in Egypt, in Yemen, in Tunisia, in Libya, and many other parts of the world, that leaders have come
  out and made very plain that there's no excuse for this violence. We heard Prime Minister Erdogan of
  Turkey say the same, we heard the Grand Mufti in Saudi Arabia say the same, that there's no excuse for
  violence, that violence is to be condemned, and that governments have a responsibility to protect United
  States personnel and facilities and those of all foreign diplomats.
  TAPPER: I know you have to go, but very quickly, was the president in that interview trying to nudge
  President Morsi, "Get your act together"?

  that -- that was conveyed very directly, and the results were immediate and quite satisfactory.

  Subject: Rice on "This Week"
  Here is Susan on this week. She wasn't asked about whether we had any intel. But she did make clear our
  view that this started spontaneously and then evolved. The only troubling sentence relates to the
  investigation, specifically: And we'll see when the investigation unfolds whether what was -- what
  transpired in Benghazi might have unfolded differently in different circumstances." But she got pushed
  there.
  Waiting on other transcripts.
  For more on what happened and why, let's bring in the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Dr. Susan
  Rice. Dr. Rice, thank you for joining us.
  RICE: Good to be with you, Jake.
  TAPPER: So, first of all, what is the latest you can tell us on who these attackers were at the embassy or at
  the consulate in Benghazi? We're hearing that the Libyans have arrested people. They're saying that some
  people involved were from outside the country, that there might have even been Al Qaida ties. What's the
  latest information?
  RICE: Well, Jake, first of all, it's important to know that there's an FBI investigation that has begun and
  will take some time to be completed. That will tell us with certainty what transpired.
  But our current best assessment, based on the information that we have at present, is that, in fact, what
  this began as, it was a spontaneous -- not a premeditated -- response to what had transpired in Cairo. In
  Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this
  very offensive video that was disseminated.
  We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to -- or to the consulate,
  rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo. And then as that unfolded, it seems to
  have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons,
  weapons that as you know in -- in the wake of the revolution in Libya are -- are quite common and
  accessible. And it then evolved from there.

  We'll wait to see exactly what the investigation finally confirms, but that's the best information we have at
  present.
  TAPPER: Why was there such a security breakdown? Why was there not better security at the compound
  in Benghazi? Why were there not U.S. Marines at the embassy in Tripoli?
  RICE: Well, first of all, we had a substantial security presence with our personnel...
  TAPPER: Not substantial enough, though, right?
  RICE: ... with our personnel and the consulate in Benghazi. Tragically, two of the four Americans who
  were killed were there providing security. That was their function. And indeed, there were many other
  colleagues who were doing the same with them.
  It obviously didn't prove sufficient to the -- the nature of the attack and sufficient in that -- in that
  moment. And that's why, obviously, we have reinforced our remaining presence in Tripoli and why the
  president has very -- been very clear that in Libya and throughout the region we are going to call on the
  governments, first of all, to assume their responsibilities to protect our facilities and our personnel, and
  we're reinforcing our facilities and our -- our embassies where possible...
  TAPPER: But why...
  RICE: ... and where needed.
  TAPPER: Why would we not have Marines at the embassy in Tripoli to begin with? It would seem like this
  -- this is obviously an unstable country. This is a region where U.S. interests have been attacked in
  previous months. Why were there not Marines there to begin with?
  RICE: First of all, there are Marines in some places around the world. There are not Marines in every
  facility. That depends on the circumstances. That depends on the requirements. Our presence in Tripoli,
  as in Benghazi, is relatively new, as you will recall. We've been back post-revolution only for a matter of
  months.
  But I've visited there myself, both to Tripoli and Benghazi. I was very grateful to have a strong security
  presence with me as part of our -- our embassy detachment there. So we certainly are aware that Libya is a
  place where there have been increasingly some violent incidents. The security personnel that the State
  Department thought were required were in place. And we'll see when the investigation unfolds whether
  what was -- what transpired in Benghazi might have unfolded differently in different circumstances.
  But the president has been very clear. The protection of American personnel and facilities is and will
  remain our top priority. That's why we've reinforced our presence in Tripoli and elsewhere.

  TAPPER: Look at this map, if you would. There have been protests around the world over the last several
  days. And President Obama pledged to repair America's relationships with the Muslim world. Why does
  the U.S. seem so impotent? And why is the U.S. even less popular today in some of these Muslim and Arab
  countries than it was four years ago?
  RICE: Jake, we're not impotent. We're not even less popular, to challenge that assessment. I don't know
  on what basis you make that judgment. But let me -- let me point...
  TAPPER: It just seems that the U.S. government is powerless as this -- as this maelstrom erupts.
  RICE: It's actually the opposite. First of all, let's be clear about what transpired here. What happened this
  week in Cairo, in Benghazi, in many other parts of the region...
  TAPPER: Tunisia, Khartoum...
  RICE: ... was a result a direct result of a heinous and offensive video that was widely disseminated, that
  the U.S. government had nothing to do with, which we have made clear is reprehensible and disgusting.
  We have also been very clear in saying that there is no excuse for violence, there is -- that we have
  condemned it in the strongest possible terms.
  But let's look at what's happened. It's quite the opposite of being impotent. We have worked with the
  governments in Egypt. President Obama picked up the phone and talked to President Morsi in Egypt. And
  as soon as he did that, the security provided to our personnel in our embassies dramatically increased.
  President Morsi...
  TAPPER: It took two days for President Morsi to say anything about this.
  RICE: President Morsi has been out repeatedly and said that he condemns this violence. He's called off --
  and his people have called off any further demonstrations and have made very clear that this has to stop.
  (CROSSTALK)
  RICE: Now, and and same, frankly, in Tunisia, in Yemen, and, of course, in Libya, where the
  government has -- has gone out of its way to try to step up security and express deepest remorse for what
  has happened. We are quite popular in Libya, as you might expect, having been a major partner in their
  revolution. What transpired outside of our consulate in Benghazi was not an expression of deep-seated
  anti-Americanism on the part of the Libyan people. Quite the contrary. The counter-demonstrations, the
  outpouring of sympathy and support for Ambassador Stevens and for the United States, the government
  of Libya and -- and the people on the street saying how pained they are by this, is much more a reflection
  of the sentiment towards the United States than a small handful of heavily armed mobsters.

  TAPPER: That certainly, according to polling, is the case in Libya. Not the case in Egypt. And since you
  brought up President Morsi, let me try to get some clarification on something. President Obama was asked
  about the relationship with Egypt on Wednesday, and this is what he said.
  (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
  OBAMA: I don't think that we would consider them an ally, but we don't consider them an enemy. They
  are a new government that is trying to find its way.
  (END VIDEO CLIP)
  TAPPER: The United States has sent billions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer money to Egypt over the last few
  decades. And by definition, as you know, according to the State Department, Egypt is a major non-NATO
  ally of the United States. Why would President Obama say Egypt is not an ally?
  RICE: Well, first of all, the president has been very clear and -- and everybody understands that Egypt is a
  very critical partner of the United States, has long been so. That relationship remains the same, and the
  president wasn't signaling any change in -- in the nature...
  TAPPER: Was he trying to nudge Morsi?
  RICE: The president wasn't signaling any change in the nature of our relationship. Obviously, the
  president had a conversation with President Morsi and a very productive one, in which he underscored
  that it's, of course, the responsibility of the Egyptian government as host to protect diplomatic personnel
  and facilities, including our own, and we saw that President Morsi, immediately after that, took dramatic
  steps to improve the security of our facilities in Cairo and elsewhere, and then went out and repeatedly
  made a number of very important and powerful statements condemning the violence and conveying the
  message that, however hateful such a video may be, there is absolutely no justification for violence against
  the United States or other Western partners.
  So what we've seen is that the president has been incredibly calm, incredibly steady, and incredibly
  measured in his approach to this set of developments. And his interventions, his leadership has ensured
  that in Egypt, in Yemen, in Tunisia, in Libya, and many other parts of the world, that leaders have come
  out and made very plain that there's no excuse for this violence. We heard Prime Minister Erdogan of
  Turkey say the same, we heard the Grand Mufti in Saudi Arabia say the same, that there's no excuse for
  violence, that violence is to be condemned, and that governments have a responsibility to protect United
  States personnel and facilities and those of all foreign diplomats.
  TAPPER: I know you have to go, but very quickly, was the president in that interview trying to nudge
  President Morsi, "Get your act together"?

  RICE: No. I think that the president communicated directly with -- with President Morsi and had the
  opportunity to -- to understand our expectation that Egypt will do what it can to protect our facilities. So
  that -- that was conveyed very directly, and the results were immediate and quite satisfactory.
  TAPPER: Dr. Rice, thank you so much for coming here today and answering our questions.

  From: Sid
  Re: Q's secret bid to UK
  On the morning of June 2, 2011 sensitive sources with access to the advisors to Muamrnar Qaddafi's son, Saif
  al-Islam, stated in strict confidence that the Libyan government has opened extremely complicated negotiations
  with the government of the United Kingdom (UK) in an effort to obtain their support in reaching a ceasefire
  agreement with the rebels of the Libyan Transitional National Council (TNC), allowing the Qaddafi's to
  maintain some level of control in the country.
  This initiative is directed by Saif al-Islam and, according to these sensitive sources. the Libyans have asked the
  UK officials to broker a deal with the INC that will allow some form of power sharing, with the possibility of
  Saif al-Islam acting as head of state and the TNC members making up a substantial portion of the cabinet in a
  new government. Under the plan Muatnmar Qaddafi would be allowed to leave the country and go into exile
  with no danger of indictment on charges of human rights abuses and corruption by Libyan or international
  courts.
  (Source Comment: In the opinion of these sensitive sources, this initiative reflects the concern of the Qaddafi
  government that as a result of continuing NATO air raids against their forces, they can no longer defeat the
  rebel army. They add that there has been no firm response from the UK government, and the initial discussions
  have been conducted by officers of the British Special Intelligence Service (SIS / MI-6). In the opinion of these
  same sources the initial idea of these talks may have been raised by former Libyan Foreign Minister Mousa
  Kousa, after his arrival in London in late March 2011.)
  According to these sensitive sources, Saif al-Islam and his advisors realize that there is little chance the TNC
  will agree to such an offer, and that SIS may be using this contact as a means of collecting intelligence while
  protecting British interests in Libya. Notwithstanding this concern, in the opinion of these individuals, Sail al-
  Islam believes that introducing the possibility of a ceasefire and the subsequent negotiations may create
  divisions within NATO and weaken their military operations against Qaddafi's forces.

  (Source Comment: These sources add that many of Saif al-Islam's advisors do not know if, or to what extent,
  the UK Government has shared knowledge of this initiative with the governments of the United States and the
  other NATO allies.)
  At the same time, sources with access to the operations of the INC military committee state privately that on
  June 1, 2011 Libyan intelligence officers detonated a car bomb outside the Tibesti Hotel in the TNC capital of
  Benghazi. One person was injured in the blast and a number of nearby vehicles were damaged. TNC security
  officers occupied the hotel and the surrounding area immediately after the attack, but were not able to identify
  any of the attackers. The Tibesti Hotel is an important landmark in the heart of Benghazi and is used by the
  TNC government, as well by foreign journalists and diplomats. Hotel security has been heightened in the hours
  following the attack and all foreign residents are under surveillance by TNC security officers, looking for
  suspicious activities and contacts.

  Re: Q's secret bid to UK
  On the morning of June 2, 2011 sensitive sources with access to the advisors to Muammar
  Qaddafi's son, Saif al-Islam, stated in strict confidence that the Libyan government has opened
  extremely complicated negotiations with the government of the United Kingdom (UK) in an
  effort to obtain their support in reaching a ceasefire agreement with the rebels of the Libyan
  Transitional National Council (INC), allowing the Qaddafi's to maintain some level of control
  in the country.
  This initiative is directed by Saif al-Islam and, according to these sensitive sources, the Libyans
  have asked the UK officials to broker a deal with the TNC that will allow some form of power
  sharing, with the possibility of Saif al-Islam acting as head of state and the TNC members
  making up a substantial portion of the cabinet in a new government. Under the plan Muammar
  Qaddafi would be allowed to leave the country and go into exile with no danger of indictment on
  charges of human rights abuses and corruption by Libyan or international courts.
  (Source Comment: In the opinion of these sensitive sources, this initiative reflects the concern of
  the Qaddafi government that as a result of continuing NATO air raids against their forces, they
  can no longer defeat the rebel army. They add that there has been no firm response from the UK
  government, and the initial discussions have been conducted by officers of the British Special
  Intelligence Service (SIS / MI-6). In the opinion of these same sources the initial idea of these
  talks may have been raised by former Libyan Foreign Minister Mousa Kousa, after his arrival in
  London in late March 2011.)

  Libyan Ambassador's Death Not a Political Issue, Says Dad
  By Margaret Talev on October 14, 2012
  BusinessWeek
  Bloomberg News
  The father of Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya who was killed in the attack in Benghazi last month, said
  his son's death shouldn't be politicized in the presidential campaign.
  "It would really be abhorrent to make this into a campaign issue," Jan Stevens, 77, said in a telephone interview from his
  home in Loomis. California, as he prepares for a memorial service for his son next week.
  Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee, has criticized President Barack ()barna for not providing adequate security in
  Libya, saying the administration has left the country exposed to a deadly terrorist attack.
  The ambassador's father, a lawyer, said politicians should await the findings of a formal investigation before making
  accusations or judgments.
  "The security matters are being adequately investigated," Stevens said. "We don't pretend to be experts in security. It
  has to be objectively examined. That's where it belongs. It does not belong in the campaign arena," Stevens said he has
  been getting briefings from the State Department on the progress of the investigation.

  'Very Optimistic'
  Stevens said while he was dose with his son, "we weren't that familiar with the day-to-day activities' he undertook in
  Libya. On the occasions when his son called home, Stevens said, he didn't share many details about his work other than
  to say that "he was very optimistic about the results of the election and the new government." They last spoke by phone
  in August and by e-mail days before his son's death.
  Stevens, a registered Democrat, said he isn't politically active. He declined to say how he'll vote in the presidential
  election.
  He said his son, who was a career diplomat and had worked for Republican and Democratic presidents, hadn't expressed
  concerns to him about security or support from the administration. "He felt very strongly about Secretary Clinton,"
  Stevens said, referring to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "He felt she was an extremely able person."
  As for whether he had the tools and protection he needed for his job, Stevens said of his son: "We didn't get into that"
  sort of discussion. "I never heard him say a critical word about the State Department or the administration, or any
  administration for that matter, He came up through the foreign service, not politics."
  Obama Call
  Stevens said neither of the two presidential campaigns reached out to him, and that he is grateful for that. He said
  Obama telephoned him after his son's death to express his regrets and talk about identifying the perpetrators who
  should be brought to justice, and that the conversation was in the context of his presidential duties and not political.
  While polls indicate that voters say Obama would do a better job on foreign policy issues, Republicans see an
  opportunity to cut into that advantage, pointing to surveys showing that voters have grown less satisfied since the Sept.
  11 assault in Libya.
  Stevens stopped short of directly criticizing either candidate.
  "I'm not sure exactly what he's been saying and not saying, but our position is it would be a real shame if this were
  politicized," Stevens said, referring to Romney. Our concern now is memorializing Chris and remembering his
  contribution to the country."
  Campaign Shift
  Romney's current foreign policy position marks a shift in tone from a campaign that has focused almost exclusively on
  economic issues arid jobs.
  The Romney team is attempting to link two campaign messages by charging Obama with weakening American interests
  abroad at the same time as he's failed to boost the economy back home.
  Speaking to voters on Oct. 12 in Richmond, Virginia, Romney chastised Vice President Joe Biden for his defense of the
  administration's actions in the Libya attack.
  "He's doubling down on denial, and we need to understand exactly what happened as opposed to just having people
  brush this aside," Romney said.
  During last week's vice presidential debate, Biden said the White House wasn't told of a request for additional security
  at the mission in Benghazi the month before the incident.

  State Department official Eric Nordstrom, who served as a regional security officer in Tripoli until July, told a
  congressional committee that he was turned down when he requested an extension of a 16-member security support
  team that was scheduled to leave Libya in August.
  'Mission Creep'
  Romney hasn't specified what he would do differently than the administration In Libya. In a speech at the Virginia
  Military Institute earlier last week, he called for support of Libya's "efforts to forge a lasting government" and to pursue
  the "terrorists who attacked our consulate."
  That view is at odds with the position Romney took more than a year ago, when he opposed expanding the intervention
  in Libya to capture Muammar Qaddafi, calling it "mission creep and mission muddle" in April 2011.
  Neither the administration's initial public report that the attack began with a spontaneous demonstration against an
  anti- Islamic video clip nor Republican suggestions that it was a planned attack tied to al-Qaeda are supported by U.S.
  intelligence reports or by accounts of the night provided to a Bloomberg reporter by Benghazi residents.
  White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters that "the president wants to get to the bottom of what
  happened."
  Carney also sought to minimize questions about why the president and other administration officials were slow to
  publicly acknowledge the role of terrorism in the attack.
  "As time went on, additional information became available," Carney said. "Clearly, we know more today than we did on
  the Sunday after the attack. But as the process moves forward and more information becomes available, we will be sure
  to continue consulting with you."

  Re: Q's secret bid to UK
  On the morning of June 2, 2011 sensitive sources with access to the advisors to Muammar Qaddafi's son, Saif
  al-Islam, stated in strict confidence that the Libyan government has opened extremely complicated negotiations
  with the government of the United Kingdom (UK) in an effort to obtain their support in reaching a ceasefire
  agreement with the rebels of the Libyan Transitional National Council (TNC), allowing the Qaddafi's to
  maintain some level of control in the country.
  This initiative is directed by Saif al-Islam and, according to these sensitive sources, the Libyans have asked the
  UK officials to broker a deal with the TNC that will allow some form of power sharing, with the possibility of
  Saif al-Islam acting as head of state and the TNC members making up a substantial portion of the cabinet in a
  new government. Under the plan Muammar Qaddafi would be allowed to leave the country and go into exile
  with no danger of indictment on charges of human rights abuses and corruption by Libyan or international
  courts
  (Source Comment: In the opinion of these sensitive sources, this initiative reflects the concern of the Qaddafi
  government that as a result of continuing NATO air raids against their forces, they can no longer defeat the

  rebel army. They add that there has been no firm response from the UK government, and the initial discussions
  have been conducted by officers of the British Special Intelligence Service (SIS / In the opinion of these
  same sources the initial idea of these talks may have been raised by former Libyan Foreign Minister Mousa
  Kousa, after his arrival in London in late March 2011.)
  According to these sensitive sources, Saif al-Islam and his advisors realize that there is little chance the TNC
  will agree to such an offer, and that SIS may be using this contact as a means of collecting intelligence while
  protecting British interests in Libya. Notwithstanding this concern, in the opinion of these individuals, Saif al-
  Islam believes that introducing the possibility of a ceasefire and the subsequent negotiations may create
  divisions within NATO and weaken their military operations against Qaddafi's forces.
  (Source Comment. These sources add that many of Saif al-Islam's advisors do not know if, or to what extent,
  the UK Government has shared knowledge of this initiative with the governments of the United States and the
  other NATO allies.)
  At the same time, sources with access to the operations of the TNC military committee state privately that on
  June 1, 2011 Libyan intelligence officers detonated a car bomb outside the Tibesti Hotel in the TNC capital of
  Benghazi. One person was injured in the blast and a number of nearby vehicles were damaged. TNC security
  officers occupied the hotel and the surrounding area immediately after the attack, but were not able to identify
  any of the attackers. The Tibesti Hotel is an important landmark in the heart of Benghazi and is used by the
  INC government, as well by foreign journalists and diplomats. Hotel security has been heightened in the hours
  following the attack and all foreign residents are under surveillance by TNC security officers, looking for
  suspicious activities and contacts.

  Dear Mr. Sullivan,
  As per your request, here is the transcript from Ambassador Rice's appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press." We will
  forward the transcripts from the other Sunday morning shows as we receive them. Thank you
  Announcer: From NBC News in Washington, MEET THE PRESS with David Gregory.
  GREGORY: And good morning. Relative calm this morning in the Middle East after several days of
  intense anti-American protests raged across many parts of the Islamic world. But word this morning
  that the Obama administration has ordered the evacuation of all but emergency personnel from
  diplomatic missions in Tunisia and Sudan. And defense secretary Leon Panetta saying this morning,
  the Pentagon has deployed forces to several areas in an increased effort to protect U.S. personnel
  and property from the potential of violent protests, the latest consequences, of course, of this
  troubling unrest. Joining me now for the very latest, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations,
  Susan Rice. Ambassador Rice, welcome back to MEET THE PRESS.
  MS. SUSAN RICE (U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations): Thank you, good to be here.
  GREGORY: The images as you well know are jarring to Americans watching all of this play out this
  week, and we'll share the map of all of this turmoil with our viewers to show the scale of it across not
  just the Arab world, but the entire Islamic world and flashpoints as well. In Egypt, of course, the
  protests outside the U.S. embassy there that Egyptian officials were slow to put down. This weekend
  in Pakistan, protests as well there. More anti-American rage. Also protests against the drone
  strikes. In Yemen, you also had arrests and some deaths outside of our U.S. embassy there. How
  much longer can Americans expect to see these troubling images and these protests go forward?

  MS. RICE: Well, David, we can't predict with any certainty. But let's remember what has transpired
  over the last several days. This is a response to a hateful and offensive video that was widely
  disseminated throughout the Arab and Muslim world. Obviously, our view is that there is absolutely
  no excuse for violence and that-- what has happened is condemnable, but this is a-- a spontaneous
  reaction to a video, and it's not dissimilar but, perhaps, on a slightly larger scale than what we have
  seen in the past with The Satanic Verses with the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. Now, the
  United States has made very clear and the president has been very plain that our top priority is the
  protection of American personnel in our facilities and bringing to justice those who...
  GREGORY: All right.
  MS. RICE: . attacked our facility in Benghazi.
  GREGORY: Well, let's talk— talk about-- well, you talked about this as spontaneous. Can you say
  definitively that the attacks on-- on our consulate in Libya that killed ambassador Stevens and others
  there security personnel, that was spontaneous, was it a planned attack? Was there a terrorist
  element to it?
  MS. RICE: Well, let us-- let me tell you the-- the best information we have at present. First of all,
  there's an FBI investigation which is ongoing. And we look to that investigation to give us the
  definitive word as to what transpired. But putting together the best information that we have available
  to us today our current assessment is that what happened in Benghazi was in fact initially a
  spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired hours before in Cairo, almost a copycat of-- of the
  demonstrations against our facility in Cairo, which were prompted, of course, by the video. What we
  think then transpired in Benghazi is that opportunistic extremist elements came to the consulate as
  this was unfolding. They came with heavy weapons which unfortunately are readily available in post
  revolutionary Libya, And it escalated into a much more violent episode. Obviously, that's-- that's our
  best judgment now. We'll await the results of the investigation. And the president has been very
  clear--we'll work with the Libyan authorities to bring those responsible to justice.
  GREGORY: Was there a failure here that this administration is responsible for, whether it's an
  intelligence failure, a failure to see this coming, or a failure to adequately protect U.S. embassies and
  installations from a spontaneous kind of reaction like this?
  MS. RICE: David, I don't think so. First of all we had no actionable intelligence to suggest that-- that
  any attack on our facility in Benghazi was imminent. In Cairo, we did have indications that there was
  the risk that the video might spark some-- some protests and our embassy, in fact, acted accordingly,
  and had called upon the Egyptian authorities to— to reinforce our fasility. What we have seen as--
  with respect to the security response, obviously we had security personnel in Benghazi, a-- a

  significant number, and tragically, among those four that were killed were two of our security
  personnel. But what happened, obviously, overwhelmed the security we had in place which is why
  the president ordered additional reinforcements to Tripoli and— and why elsewhere in the world we
  have been working with governments to ensure they take up their obligations to protect us and we
  reinforce where necessary.
  GREGORY: The president and the secretary of state have talked about a mob mentality. That's my
  words, not their words, but they talked about the-- the tyranny of mobs operating in this part of the
  world. Here's the reality, if you look at foreign aid--U.S. direct foreign aid to the two countries
  involved here, in Libya and Egypt, this is what you'd see: two hundred million since 2011 to Libya,
  over a billion a year to Egypt and yet Americans are seeing these kinds of protests and attacks on our
  own diplomats. Would-- what do you say to members of congress who are now weighing whether to
  suspend our aid to these countries if this is the response that America gets?
  MS. RICE: Well, first of all, David, let's put this in perspective. As I said, this is a response to a— a
  very offensive video. It's not the first time that American facilities have come under attack in the
  Middle East, going back to 1982 in-- in Beirut, going back to the Khobar Towers in-- in Saudi Arabia,
  or even the attack on our embassy in 2008 in Yemen.
  GREGORY: Or Iran in 1979.
  MS. RICE: This has-- this has happened in the past, but there-- and so I don't think that-- that we
  should misunderstand what this is. The reason we provide aid in Egypt and in Libya is because it
  serves American interests because the relationships...
  GREGORY: But-- but our Americans are not being served if this is the response.
  MS. RICE: It serves our interests to have Egypt willing and able to-- to maintain its peace treaty with
  Israel, it servers our interest for Egypt to continue to be a strong partner. Now, let's be clear, the
  government, once President Obama called President Morsi, immediately in Egypt the security forces
  came out and have provided very significant protection. Same in Tunisia, same in Libya, same in
  Yemen. And all of these leaders have very forcefully conveyed their condemnation of what has
  transpired.
  GREGORY: But there were conflicting messages from the Morsi government. In Arabic they
  encourage protests, in English they said stop the protests. This from an ally that we give over a
  billion dollars?

  MS. RICE: What has happened in fact is that the Egyptian government has come out and protected
  our facilities. Our embassy is open today, things are calm. And Morsi has repeatedly been clear in
  his condemnation of-- of what has occurred. We-- we are in these partnerships, David, over the long-
  term. We think that-- that-- despite this very bumpy path we're on and the very disturbing images
  we've seen, it's in the United States fundamental interest that people have the ability to choose their
  own governments, that the governments be democratic and free. That's in our long-term best
  interest.
  GREGORY: You know that this...
  MS. RICE: We need to reinforce that with our assistance.
  GREGORY: We are in the middle of a heated presidential campaign, there are different foreign
  policy visions. That's why we wanted to dedicate the hour to this today to really understand these
  different views. Mitt Romney spoke out this week, he criticized the administration, talked about
  whether the United States was apologizing for some of the initial response to this. These were his
  comments this week.
  (Videotape; Wednesday)
  MR. MITT ROMNEY: The administration was wrong to stand by a statement sympathizing with those
  who had breached our embassy in Egypt instead of condemning their actions. I think it's a— a-- a
  terrible course to-- for America to-- to stand in apology for our values.
  (End videotape)
  GREGORY: Our embassies did not stand up for speech-- free speech in this initial response to this
  violence. And the Republican charge is that it's weakness on the part of this administration that
  invites this kind of chaos, that the administration has not been tough enough on radical extremists
  that are beginning to take root in these countries. How do you respond to that?
  MS. RICE: First of all, I think the American people and certainly our diplomats and-- and
  development experts who are putting their lives on the line around the world every day expect from
  our leadership unity in times of challenge and strong, steady, steadfast leadership of the sort that
  President Obama has been providing. With respect to this, I think, vacuous charge of weakness,
  let's-- lets recall, I think, the American people fully understand that this is an administration led by a
  president who said when he ran for office that he would take the fight to al Qaeda. We have
  decimated al Qaeda. °same bin Laden is dead. He said we would end the war responsibly in
  Iraq. We've done that. He has restored relationships around the world. I spend every day up at the
  United Nations where I have to interact with 192 other countries. I know how well the United States is

  viewed. I know that our standing is much improved and it's translated into important support for
  strong American positions, for example with sanctions against Iran.
  GREGORY: Was it inappropriate for Governor Romney to level the criticism he leveled?
  MS. RICE: I'm not going to get into politics, David. That's not my role in this job. But I think the
  American people welcome and appreciate strong, steady, unified leadership, bipartisan in times of
  challenge. And for those men and women in our diplomatic service, including those we tragically lost,
  they look to our leadership to be unified and responsible.
  GREGORY: Let's talk about another area where the administration is on the defensive in terms of
  leadership in the world, and that is the nuclear threat from Iran. Another area of tension between the
  United States and Israel. In just a couple of minutes we will show our interview with the prime
  minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu. And our viewers will see that. One aspect is how close Iran
  is getting to becoming a nuclear power. I asked him about that. I want to show you a piece of the
  interview and get your reaction to it.
  (Videotape)
  PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU (Prime Minister of Israel): I can tell you, David, that Iran
  has been placed with some clear red lines on a few matters, and they have avoided crossing
  them. So I think that as they get closer and closer and closer to the achievement of the weapons-
  grade material, and they're very close, they're six months away from being about 90 percent of
  having the enriched uranium for an atom bomb, I think that you have to place that red line before
  them now, before it's-- it's too late.
  GREGORY: As the prime minister of Israel, has Iran crossed your red line?
  MR. NETANYAHU: Well, the way I would say it, David, is they are in the red zone. You know, they
  are in the last 20 yards. And you can't let them cross that goal line. You can't let them score a
  touchdown, because that would have unbelievable consequences, grievous consequences, for the
  peace and security of us all-- of the world really.
  (End videotape)
  GREGORY: What is President Obama's line in the sand, the point at which he says to Iran don't
  cross this with your nuclear program or there's going to be a military consequence?

  MS. RICE: David, the president has been very, very clear. Our bottom line, if you want to call it a red
  line, president's bottom line has been that Iran will not acquire a nuclear weapon and we will take no
  option off the table to ensure that it does not acquire a nuclear weapon, including the military option.
  GREGORY: The prime minister says_.
  MS. RICE: But...
  GREGORY: ...they are acquiring.
  MS. RICE: ...he's talking about a-- a red zone which is a new concept...
  GREGORY: No, no, but he's talking about how close they are to actually becoming a nuclear power--
  having to develop a capacity to become a nuclear power.
  MS. RICE: They're not there yet. They are not there yet. And our assessment is, and-- and we
  share this regularly with our Israeli counterparts in the intelligence and defense community, that there
  is time and space for the pressure we are mounting, which is unprecedented in terms of sanctions, to
  still yield results. This is not imminent. The window is not infinite, but let's be clear--the sanctions
  that-- that are now in place reached their high point in July. The-- the Iranian economy is
  suffering. It's shrinking for the first time. Negative one percent growth. The amount of production of
  Iranian oil has dropped 40 percent over the last several months. Their currency has plummeted 40
  percent over the last several months. This pressure is even to use the Iranian's own words crippling.
  GREGORY: But can you say...
  MS. RICE: And we think...
  GREGORY: ...that President Obama's strategy to keep Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon almost
  at the end of his first term is succeeding or failing?
  MS. RICE: David, what is clear is Iran does not have a nuclear weapon. And that Iran is more
  isolated than ever internationally. The economic pressure it is facing is much greater than
  ever. When President Obama came to office the international community was divided about
  Iran. And Iran was internally very united. The exact opposite is the case today. The international
  community is united. We just had another strong resolution out of the IAEA Board of Governors. And
  the internal dynamics in Iran are-- are fracturing and the leadership is divided. We are committed and
  President Obama is committed to preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. It is not a policy
  of containment. But, David, the most difficult and profound decision that any president has to make is

  the decision to go to war. And this president is committed to exhausting pressure, economic
  pressure, and diplomacy while there is-- is still time before making a decision of such consequence.

  Dear Mr. Sullivan,
  As per your request, here is the transcript from Ambassador Rice's appearance on CNN's "State of the Union." We will
  forward the transcripts from the other Sunday morning shows as we receive them. Thank you.
  CROWLEY: Joining me is the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice.
  Madam Ambassador, thank you for joining us.
  RICE: Good to be with you, Candy.
  CROWLEY: One of the things when I spoke with the Israeli prime minister that struck me was the conviction that he has
  that for certain Iran is building on its way to building a nuclear weapon, and his sense of urgency that at this moment
  the U.S. needs to set what he calls a "red line" for the U.S.
  Does the U.S. share the conviction that Iran is, indeed, building a nuclear weapon? And, B, what about the concept of a
  red line?
  RICE: Well, Candy, the United States is in constant communication with Israel and Israeli intelligence, Israeli policy
  makers, the military. We're sharing our assessments every day. And our assessments, our intelligence assessments are
  very similar. Obviously, we share a grave concern about Iran pursuing a nuclear weapon. We are determined to prevent
  that from happening. President Obama has been absolutely clear, and on this there's absolutely no daylight between the
  United States and Israel that we will do what it takes to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
  We are not at that stage yet. They do not have a nuclear weapon. Our shared intelligence assessments is that there is
  still a considerable time and space before they will have a nuclear weapon should they make the decision to go for that.
  But we've been very clear. The United States is not interested and is not pursuing a policy of containment. President
  Obama has been very plain. We will keep all option on the table, including the military option, as necessary, to prevent
  Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
  But, Candy, the fact is we have just seen the imposition of another layer of the toughest sanctions that have ever been
  impose Odd a country. In this case, Iran. Their economy is beginning to buckle. Their oil production is down 40 percent.
  Their currency has plummeted 40 percent in the last year. Their economy is now shrinking. And this is only going to
  intensify.

  So we think that there's still considerable time for this pressure to work. But this is not an infinite window. And we've
  made very clear that the president's bottom line is Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
  CROWLEY: Let me move you to what's gone on in the Middle East in Arab countries and elsewhere. There is a "New York
  Times" story this morning that suggests that the administration thinks this is a foreshadowing of a fall that will see
  sustained instability. Does the administration expect to see these sorts of protests outside U.S. embassies and elsewhere
  throughout the fall?
  RICE: Well, Candy, first of all, let's recall what has happened in the last several days. There was a hateful video that was
  disseminated on the Internet. It had nothing to do with the United States government and it's one that we find
  disgusting and reprehensible. It's been offensive to many, many people around the world.
  That sparked violence in various parts of the world, including violence directed against western facilities including our
  embassies and consulates. That violence is absolutely unacceptable, it's not a response that one can ever condone when
  it comes to such a video. And we have been working very closely and, indeed, effectively with the governments in the
  region and around the world to secure our personnel, secure our embassy, condemn the violent response to this video.
  And, frankly, we've seen these sorts of incidents in the past. We've seen violent responses to "Satanic Verses." We've
  seen violent responses to the cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed in an evil way. So this is something we've seen
  in the past, and we expect that it's possible that these kinds of things could percolate into the future. What we're
  focused on is securing our personnel, securing our facilities.
  CROWLEY: Do you at this moment feel that U.S. embassies abroad are secure?
  RICE: We are doing our utmost to secure our facilities and our personnel and in various vulnerable places. We have
  demanded and we are receiving the cooperation of host governments. Host governments have also put out very strong
  messages in Libya, in Egypt, in Yemen and Tunisia condemning violence, saying that it's a completely unacceptable
  response to such a video. And we feel that we are now in a position doing the maximum that we can to protect our
  people.
  CROWLEY: Why would one not look at what is going on in the Middle East now and say that the president's outreach to
  Muslims, which began at the beginning of his administration in Cairo and elsewhere has not worked because, yes, this
  video sparked it, but there is an underlying anti-Americanism that is very evident on the streets. So Why not look at it
  and think that this is this outreach has failed?
  RICE: For the same reason, Candy, when you look back at history and we had the horrible experience of our facilities and
  our personnel being attacked Beirut in 1981, we had the attack on Khobar Towers in the 1990s. We had an attack on our
  embassy in Yemen in 2008. There have been such attacks. There have been expressions of hostility towards the west.
  CROWLEY: But this was sort of a reset, was it not? It was supposed to be a reset of U.S.-Muslim relations?
  RICE: And indeed, in fact, there had been substantial improvements. I have been to Libya and walked the streets of
  Benghazi myself. And despite what we saw in that horrific incident where some mob was hijacked ultimately by a
  handful of extremists, the United States is extremely popular in Libya and the outpouring of sympathy and support for
  Ambassador Stevens and his colleagues from the government, from people is evidence of that.
  The fact is, Candy, that this is a turbulent time. It's a time of dramatic change. It's a change that the United States has
  backed because we understand that when democracy takes root, when human rights and people's freedom of
  expression can be manifested, it may lead to turbulence in the short-term, but over the long-term, that is in the interest
  of the United States.
  The mobs we've seen on the outside of these embassies are small minority. They're the ones who have largely lost in

  The father of Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya who was killed in the attack in Benghazi last month, said
  his son's death shouldn't be politicized in the presidential campaign.
  "It would really be abhorrent to make this into a campaign issue," Jan Stevens, 77, said in a telephone interview from his
  home in Loomis, California, as he prepares for a memorial service for his son next week.
  Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee, has criticized President Barack Obama for not providing adequate security in
  Libya, saying the administration has left the country exposed to a deadly terrorist attack.
  The ambassador's father, a lawyer, said politicians should await the findings of a formal investigation before making
  accusations or judgments.
  "The security matters are being adequately investigated," Stevens said. "We don't pretend to be experts in security. It
  has to be objectively examined. That's where it belongs. It does not belong in the campaign arena.' Stevens said he has
  been getting briefings from the State Department on the progress of the investigation.
  'Very Optimistic'
  Stevens said while he was close with his son, "we weren't that familiar with the day-to-day activities" he undertook in
  Libya. On the occasions when his son called home, Stevens said, he didn't share many details about his work other than
  to say that "he was very optimistic about the results of the election and the new government." They last spoke by phone
  in August and by e-mail days before his son's death.
  Stevens, a registered Democrat, said he isn't politically active. He declined to say how he'll vote in the presidential
  election.
  He said his son, who was a career diplomat and had worked for Republican and Democratic presidents, hadn't expressed
  concerns to him about security or support from the administration. "He felt very strongly about Secretary Clinton,"
  Stevens said, referring to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "He felt she was an extremely able person."
  As for whether he had the tools and protection he needed for his job, Stevens said of his son: "We didn't get into that"
  sort of discussion. "I never heard him say a critical word about the State Department or the administration, or any
  administration for that matter. He came up through the foreign service, not politics."
  Obama Call
  Stevens said neither of the two presidential campaigns reached out to him, and that he is grateful for that. He said
  Obama telephoned him after his son's death to express his regrets and talk about identifying the perpetrators who
  should be brought to justice, and that the conversation was in the context of his presidential duties and not political.
  While polls indicate that voters say Obama would do a better job on foreign policy issues, Republicans see an
  opportunity to cut into that advantage, pointing to surveys showing that voters have grown less satisfied since the Sept.
  11 assault in Libya.
  Stevens stopped short of directly criticizing either candidate.
  "I'm not sure exactly what he's been saying and not saying, but our position is it would be a real shame if this were
  politicized," Stevens said, referring to Romney. "Our concern now is memorializing Chris and remembering his
  contribution to the country."

  Romney's current foreign policy position marks a shift in tone from a campaign that has focused almost exclusively on
  economic issues and jobs.
  The Romney team is attempting to link two campaign messages by charging Obama with weakening American interests
  abroad at the same time as he's failed to boost the economy back home.
  Speaking to voters on Oct. 12 in Richmond, Virginia, Romney chastised Vice President Joe Biden for his defense of the
  administration's actions in the Libya attack.
  "He's doubling down on denial, and we need to understand exactly what happened as opposed to just having people
  brush this aside," Romney said.
  During last week's vice presidential debate, Biden said the White House wasn't told of a request for additional security
  at the mission in Benghazi the month before the incident.
  State Department official Eric Nordstrom, who served as a regional security officer in Tripoli until July, told a
  congressional committee that he was turned down when he requested an extension of a 16-member security support
  team that was scheduled to leave Libya in August.
  'Mission Creep'
  Romney hasn't specified what he would do differently than the administration in Libya. In a speech at the Virginia
  Military Institute earlier last week, he called for support of Libya's "efforts to forge a lasting government" and to pursue
  the "terrorists who attacked our consulate."
  That view is at odds with the position Romney took more than a year ago, when he opposed expanding the intervention
  in Libya to capture Muammar Qaddafi, calling it "mission creep and mission muddle" in April 2011.
  Neither the administration's initial public report that the attack began with a spontaneous demonstration against an
  anti- Islamic video clip nor Republican suggestions that it was a planned attack tied to al-Qaeda are supported by U.S.
  intelligence reports or by accounts of the night provided to a Bloomberg reporter by Benghazi residents.
  White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters that "the president wants to get to the bottom of what
  happened."
  Carney also sought to minimize questions about why the president and other administration officials were slow to
  publicly acknowledge the role of terrorism in the attack.
  "As time went on, additional information became available," Carney said. "Clearly, we know more today than we did on
  the Sunday after the attack. But as the process moves forward and more information becomes available, we will be sure
  to continue consulting with you."

  On the morning of June 2, 2011 sensitive sources with access to the advisors to Muammar Qaddafi's son, Saif
  al-Islam, stated in strict confidence that the Libyan government has opened extremely complicated negotiations
  with the government of the United Kingdom (UK) in an effort to obtain their support in reaching a ceasefire
  agreement with the rebels of the Libyan Transitional National Council (TNC), allowing the Qaddafi's to
  maintain some level of control in the country.
  This initiative is directed by Saif al-Islam and, according to these sensitive sources, the Libyans have asked the
  UK officials to broker a deal with the `INC that will allow some form of power sharing, with the possibility of
  Saif al-Islam acting as head of state and the TNC members making up a substantial portion of the cabinet in a

  new government. Under the plan Muammar Qadde would be allowed to leave the country and go into exile
  with no danger of indictment on charges of human rights abuses and corruption by Libyan or international
  courts.
  (Source Comment: In the opinion of these sensitive sources, this initiative reflects the concern of the Qa.ddafi
  government that as a result of continuing NATO air raids against their forces, they can no longer defeat the
  rebel army. They add that there has been no firm response from the UK government, and the initial discussions
  have been conducted by officers of the British Special Intelligence Service (SIS M1-6). In the opinion of these
  same sources the initial idea of these talks may have been raised by former Libyan Foreign Minister Mouse
  Kousa, after his arrival in London in late March 2011.)
  According to these sensitive sources, Saif al-Islam and his advisors realize that there is little chance the TNC
  will agree to such an offer, and that SIS may be using this contact as a means of collecting intelligence while
  protecting British interests in Libya. Notwithstanding this concern, in the opinion of these individuals, Saif al-
  Islam believes that introducing the possibility of a ceasefire and the subsequent negotiations may create
  divisions within NATO and weaken their military operations against Qaddaft's forces.
  (Source Comment: These sources add that many of Sail al-Islam's advisors do not know if, or to what extent,
  the UK Government has shared knowledge of this initiative with the governments of the United States and the
  other NATO allies.)
  At the same time, sources with access to the operations of the INC military committee state privately that on
  June 1, 2011 Libyan intelligence officers detonated a car bomb outside the Tibesti Hotel in the INC capital of
  Benghazi. One person was injured in the blast and a number of nearby vehicles were damaged. INC security
  officers occupied the hotel and the surrounding area immediately after the attack, but were not able to identify
  any of the attackers. The Tibesti Hotel is an important landmark in the heart of Benghazi and 'is used by the
  INC government, as well by foreign journalists and diplomats. Hotel security has been heightened in the hours
  following the attack and all foreign residents are under surveillance by INC security officers, looking for
  suspicious activities and contacts.

  Dear Mr. Sullivan,
  As per your request, here is the transcript from Ambassador Rice's appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press." We will
  forward the transcripts from the other Sunday morning shows as we receive them. Thank you.
  Announcer: From NBC News in Washington, MEET THE PRESS with David Gregory.
  GREGORY: And good morning. Relative calm this morning in the Middle East after several days of
  intense anti-American protests raged across many parts of the Islamic world. But word this morning
  that the Obama administration has ordered the evacuation of all but emergency personnel from
  diplomatic missions in Tunisia and Sudan. And defense secretary Leon Panetta saying this morning,
  the Pentagon has deployed forces to several areas in an increased effort to protect U.S. personnel
  and property from the potential of violent protests, the latest consequences, of course, of this
  troubling unrest. Joining me now for the very latest, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations,
  Susan Rice. Ambassador Rice, welcome back to MEET THE PRESS.
  MS. SUSAN RICE (U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations): Thank you, good to be here.
  GREGORY: The images as you well know are jarring to Americans watching all of this play out this
  week, and we'll share the map of all of this turmoil with our viewers to show the scale of it across not
  just the Arab world, but the entire Islamic world and flashpoints as well. In Egypt, of course, the

  protests outside the U.S. embassy there that Egyptian officials were slow to put down. This weekend
  in Pakistan, protests as well there. More anti-American rage. Also protests against the drone
  strikes. In Yemen, you also had arrests and some deaths outside of our U.S. embassy there. How
  much longer can Americans expect to see these troubling images and these protests go forward?
  MS. RICE: Well, David, we can't predict with any certainty. But let's remember what has transpired
  over the last several days. This is a response to a hateful and offensive video that was widely
  disseminated throughout the Arab and Muslim world. Obviously, our view is that there is absolutely
  no excuse for violence and that-- what has happened is condemnable, but this is a-- a spontaneous
  reaction to a video, and it's not dissimilar but, perhaps, on a slightly larger scale than what we have
  seen in the past with The Satanic Verses with the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. Now, the
  United States has made very clear and the president has been very plain that our top priority is the
  protection of American personnel in our facilities and bringing to justice those who...
  GREGORY: All right.
  MS RICE: ...attacked our facility in Benghazi.
  GREGORY: Well, let's talk-- talk about-- well, you talked about this as spontaneous. Can you say
  definitively that the attacks on-- on our consulate in Libya that killed ambassador Stevens and others
  there security personnel, that was spontaneous, was it a planned attack? Was there a terrorist
  element to it?
  MS. RICE: Well, let us-- let me tell you the-- the best information we have at present. First of all,
  there's an FBI investigation which is ongoing. And we look to that investigation to give us the
  definitive word as to what transpired. But putting together the best information that we have available
  to us today our current assessment is that what happened in Benghazi was in fact initially a
  spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired hours before in Cairo, almost a copycat of-- of the
  demonstrations against our facility in Cairo, which were prompted, of course, by the video. What we
  think then transpired in Benghazi is that opportunistic extremist elements came to the consulate as
  this was unfolding. They came with heavy weapons which unfortunately are readily available in post
  revolutionary Libya. And it escalated into a much more violent episode. Obviously, that's-- that's our
  best judgment now. We'll await the results of the investigation. And the president has been very
  clear--we'll work with the Libyan authorities to bring those responsible to justice.
  GREGORY: Was there a failure here that this administration is responsible for, whether it's an
  intelligence failure, a failure to see this coming, or a failure to adequately protect U.S. embassies and
  installations from a spontaneous kind of reaction like this?

  MS. RICE: David, I don't think so. First of all we had no actionable intelligence to suggest that-- that
  any attack on our facility in Benghazi was imminent. In Cairo, we did have indications that there was
  the risk that the video might spark some— some protests and our embassy, in fact, acted accordingly,
  and had called upon the Egyptian authorities to-- to reinforce our facility. What we have seen as--
  with respect to the security response, obviously we had security personnel in Benghazi, a-- a
  significant number, and tragically, among those four that were killed were two of our security
  personnel. But what happened, obviously, overwhelmed the security we had in place which is why
  the president ordered additional reinforcements to Tripoli and-- and why elsewhere in the world we
  have been working with governments to ensure they take up their obligations to protect us and we
  reinforce where necessary.
  GREGORY: The president and the secretary of state have talked about a mob mentality. That's my
  words, not their words, but they talked about the— the tyranny of mobs operating in this part of the
  world. Here's the reality, if you look at foreign aid--U.S. direct foreign aid to the two countries
  involved here, in Libya and Egypt, this is what you'd see: two hundred million since 2011 to Libya,
  over a billion a year to Egypt and yet Americans are seeing these kinds of protests and attacks on our
  own diplomats. Would-- what do you say to members of congress who are now weighing whether to
  suspend our aid to these countries if this is the response that America gets?
  MS. RICE: Well, first of all. David, let's put this in perspective. As I said, this is a response to a-- a
  very offensive video. It's not the first time that American facilities have come under attack in the
  Middle East, going back to 1982 in-- in Beirut, going back to the Khobar Towers in-- in Saudi Arabia,
  or even the attack on our embassy in 2008 in Yemen.
  GREGORY: Or Iran in 1979.
  MS. RICE: This has-- this has happened in the past, but there-- and so I don't think that-- that we
  should misunderstand what this is. The reason we provide aid in Egypt and in Libya is because it
  serves American interests because the relationships...
  GREGORY: But— but our Americans are not being served if this is the response.
  MS. RICE: It serves our interests to have Egypt willing and able to— to maintain its peace treaty with
  Israel, it servers our interest for Egypt to continue to be a strong partner. Now, let's be clear, the
  government, once President Obama called President Morsi, immediately in Egypt the security forces
  came out and have provided very significant protection. Same in Tunisia, same in Libya, same in
  Yemen. And all of these leaders have very forcefully conveyed their condemnation of what has
  transpired.

  GREGORY: But there were conflicting messages from the Morsi government. In Arabic they
  encourage protests, in English they said stop the protests. This from an ally that we give over a
  billion dollars?
  MS. RICE: What has happened in fact is that the Egyptian government has come out and protected
  our facilities. Our embassy is open today, things are calm. And Morsi has repeatedly been clear in
  his condemnation of-- of what has occurred. We-- we are in these partnerships, David, over the long-
  term. We think that-- that— despite this very bumpy path we're on and the very disturbing images
  we've seen, it's in the United States fundamental interest that people have the ability to choose their
  own governments, that the governments be democratic and free. That's in our long-term best
  interest.
  GREGORY: You know that this„.
  MS. RICE: We need to reinforce that with our assistance.
  GREGORY: We are in the middle of a heated presidential campaign, there are different foreign
  policy visions. That's why we wanted to dedicate the hour to this today to really understand these
  different views, Mitt Romney spoke out this week, he criticized the administration, talked about
  whether the United States was apologizing for some of the initial response to this. These were his
  comments this week.
  (Videotape; Wednesday)
  MR. MITT ROMNEY: The administration was wrong to stand by a statement sympathizing with those
  who had breached our embassy in Egypt instead of condemning their actions. I think it's a-- a-- a
  terrible course to-- for America to-- to stand in apology for our values.
  (End videotape)
  GREGORY: Our embassies did not stand up for speech— free speech in this initial response to this
  violence. And the Republican charge is that it's weakness on the part of this administration that
  invites this kind of chaos, that the administration has not been tough enough on radical extremists
  that are beginning to take root in these countries. How do you respond to that
  MS. RICE: First of all, I think the American people and certainly our diplomats and-- and
  development experts who are putting their lives on the line around the world every day expect from
  our leadership unity in times of challenge and strong, steady, steadfast leadership of the sort that
  President Obama has been providing. With respect to this, I think, vacuous charge of weakness,

  lets— lets recall, I think, the American people fully understand that this is an administration led by a
  president who said when he ran for office that he would take the fight to at Qaeda. We have
  decimated at Qaeda. Osama bin Laden is dead. He said we would end the war responsibly in
  Iraq. We've done that. He has restored relationships around the world. I spend every day up at the
  United Nations where I have to interact with 192 other countries. I know how well the United States is
  viewed. I know that our standing is much improved and it's translated into important support for
  strong American positions, for example with sanctions against Iran.
  GREGORY: Was it inappropriate for Governor Romney to level the criticism he leveled?
  MS. RICE: I'm not going to get into politics, David. That's not my role in this job. But I think the
  American people welcome and appreciate strong, steady, unified leadership, bipartisan in times of
  challenge. And for those men and women in our diplomatic service, including those we tragically lost,
  they look to our leadership to be unified and responsible.
  GREGORY: Let's talk about another area where the administration is on the defensive in terms of
  leadership in the world, and that is the nuclear threat from Iran. Another area of tension between the
  United States and Israel. In just a couple of minutes we will show our interview with the prime
  minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu. And our viewers will see that. One aspect is how close Iran
  is getting to becoming a nuclear power. I asked him about that. I want to show you a piece of the
  interview and get your reaction to it.
  (Videotape)
  PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU (Prime Minister of Israel): I can tell you, David, that Iran
  has been placed with some clear red lines on a few matters, and they have avoided crossing
  them. So I think that as they get closer and closer and closer to the achievement of the weapons-
  grade material, and they're very close, they're six months away from being about 90 percent of
  having the enriched uranium for an atom bomb, I think that you have to place that red line before
  them now, before it's— it's too late.
  GREGORY: As the prime minister of Israel, has Iran crossed your red line?
  MR. NETANYAHU: Well, the way I would say it, David, is they are in the red zone. You know, they
  are in the last 20 yards. And you can't let them cross that goal line. You can't let them score a
  touchdown, because that would have unbelievable consequences, grievous consequences, for the
  peace and security of us all-- of the world really.

  GREGORY: What is President Obama's line in the sand, the point at which he says to Iran don't
  cross this with your nuclear program or there's going to be a military consequence?
  MS. RICE David, the president has been very, very clear. Our bottom line, if you want to call it a red
  line, president's bottom line has been that Iran will not acquire a nuclear weapon and we will take no
  option off the table to ensure that it does not acquire a nuclear weapon, including the military option.
  GREGORY: The prime minister says...
  MS. RICE: But...
  GREGORY: ...they are acquiring.
  MS. RICE: ...he's talking about a-- a red zone which is a new concept...
  GREGORY: No, no, but he's talking about how close they are to actually becoming a nuclear power--
  having to develop a capacity to become a nuclear power.
  MS. RICE: They're not there yet. They are not there yet. And our assessment is, and-- and we
  share this regularly with our Israeli counterparts in the intelligence and defense community, that there
  is time and space for the pressure we are mounting, which is unprecedented in terms of sanctions, to
  still yield results. This is not imminent. The window is not infinite, but let's be clear—the sanctions
  that— that are now in place reached their high point in July. The-- the Iranian economy is
  suffering. It's shrinking for the first time. Negative one percent growth. The amount of production of
  Iranian oil has dropped 40 percent over the last several months. Their currency has plummeted 40
  percent over the last several months. This pressure is even to use the Iranian's own words crippling.
  GREGORY: But can you say...
  MS. RICE: And we think...
  GREGORY: ...that President Obama's strategy to keep Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon almost
  at the end of his first term is succeeding or failing?
  MS. RICE: David, what is clear is Iran does not have a nuclear weapon. And that Iran is more
  isolated than ever internationally. The economic pressure it is facing is much greater than
  ever. When President Obama came to office the international community was divided about
  Iran. And Iran was internally very united. The exact opposite is the case today. The international
  community is united. We just had another strong resolution out of the IAEA Board of Governors. And

  the internal dynamics in Iran are-- are fracturing and the leadership is divided. We are committed and
  President Obama is committed to preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. It is not a policy
  of containment. But, David; the most difficult and profound decision that any president has to make is
  the decision to go to war. And this president is committed to exhausting pressure, economic
  pressure, and diplomacy while there is— is still time before making a decision of such consequence.

  Re: Who killed Younis
  SOURCE: Sources with access to the Libyan Transitional National Council as well as Western Intelligence and security
  services.
  During the morning of August 5, 2011 sources with direct access to senior levels of the Libyan Transnational Council
  (INC) stated in strictest confidence that the rebel military commander, General Atadel Fatah Younis was executed by
  security forces on orders from TNC Chairman Mustapha Jai. According to these sources, in late July 2011 INC security
  officers received what they believed to be reliable information that Younis was involved in a secret dialogue with Saif al-
  Islam Oaddafi, the son of Libyan leader Muammar Oaddafi. These discussions involved planning for Younis and Saif al-
  Islam to establish a government of reconciliation, with Muammar Qaddafi living in internal exile, and the INC being
  disbanded in favor of officials, and military officers loyal to Saif and Younis. Jalil ordered Younis arrest, and once he was
  in TNC custody instructed security officers to shoot the army commander.
  According to these knowledgeable individuals, Jaill and his supporters began disseminating the story that Younis was
  killed by either pro-Qaddafi forces, or Islamic radicals within the INC military. There is no indication that rebel Prime
  Minister Mahmoud Jabril, his senior aid Abdul Hafiz Ghoza, overall military commander General Abdelessalem Jalloud, or
  Younis replacement as field commander General Khaliffa Hefter were involved in the decision to execute Younis.
  Younis, was a former senior military officer and Minister of Interior in the Qaddafi regime,•who joined the rebels in
  February 2011, after serving his friend Muammar Qaddafi for over 40 years. When Younis first joined the rebel forces
  TNC security officers placed him under surveillance, believing that he might have been sent by Qaddafi to infiltrate their
  ranks. After a variety of loyalty tests he was welcomed into the rebel leadership, however it now appears that the security
  officers maintained their coverage of Younis and at some point in early July established his contact with Saif al-Islam
  Qaddafi.
  (Source Comment: Knowledgeable sources state that Jalil and his security forces felt that Younis' actions posed an
  immediate threat to the TNC and the ongoing revolution. Jalil made the decision to order Younis' arrest and execution
  rather than submit the matter for debate in the 31 member TNC. To date these sources add that there is no indication
  that none of the TNC members have challenged Jalil's decision.)

  Jalil remains committed to defeating the Qaddafi regime and is unwilling to negotiate with Saif al-Islam, or another
  representative of Muammar Qaddafi. According to these sources, Jail' believes reports that the Saif — Younis negotiations
  had at least the tacit support of the governments of the United States, Germany, France, and Russia.
  (Source comment: A separate sensitive source noted that Jalil remains highly suspicious of the activities of the four
  governments, and has privately expressed hostility toward their representatives in INC capital of Benghazi. That said he
  is well aware of the fact that he will need the support of the major powers, particularly the United States, to guarantee the
  future of the TNC government.)

  contact with Saif al-Islam Qaddafi.

  <fah' remains committed to defeating the Qaddafi regime and is unwilling to negotiate with Saif
  al-Islam, or another representative of Muanuriar Qaddafi. According to these sources, Jalil
  believes reports that the Saif Youths negotiations had at least the tacit support of the
  governments of the United States, Germany, France, and Russia.

  activities of the four governments, and has privately expressed hostility toward their

  Dear Mr. Sullivan,
  As per your request, here is the transcript from Ambassador Rice's appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press." We will
  forward the transcripts from the other Sunday morning shows as we receive them. Thank you.
  Announcer: From NBC News in Washington, MEET THE PRESS with David Gregory.
  GREGORY: And good morning. Relative calm this morning in the Middle East after several days of
  intense anti-American protests raged across many parts of the Islamic world. But word this morning
  that the Obama administration has ordered the evacuation of all but emergency personnel from
  diplomatic missions in Tunisia and Sudan. And defense secretary Leon Panetta saying this morning,
  the Pentagon has deployed forces to several areas in an increased effort to protect U.S. personnel
  and property from the potential of violent protests, the latest consequences, of course, of this
  troubling unrest. Joining me now for the very latest, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations,
  Susan Rice. Ambassador Rice, welcome back to MEET THE PRESS.

  MS. SUSAN RICE (U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations): Thank you, good to be here.
  GREGORY: The images as you well know are jarring to Americans watching all of this play out this
  week, and we'll share the map of all of this turmoil with ourviewers to show the scale of it across not
  just the Arab world, but the entire Islamic world and flashpoints as well. In Egypt, of course, the
  protests outside the U.S. embassy there that Egyptian officials were slow to put down. This weekend
  in Pakistan, protests as well there. More anti-American rage. Also protests against the drone
  strikes. In Yemen, you also had arrests and some deaths outside of our U.S. embassy there. How
  much longer can Americans expect to see these troubling images and these protests go forward?
  MS. RICE: Well, David, we can't predict with any certainty. But let's remember what has transpired
  over the last several days. This is a response to a hateful and offensive video that was widely
  disseminated throughout the Arab and Muslim world. Obviously, our view is that there is absolutely
  no excuse for violence and that— what has happened is condemnable, but this is a-- a spontaneous
  reaction to a video, and it's not dissimilar but, perhaps, on a slightly larger scale than what we have
  seen in the past with The Satanic Verses with the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. Now, the
  United States has made very clear and the president has been very plain that our top priority is the
  protection of American personnel in our facilities and bringing to justice those who...
  GREGORY: All right.
  MS. RICE: ...attacked our facility in Benghazi.
  GREGORY: Well, let's talk-- talk about-- well, you talked about this as spontaneous. Can you say
  definitively that the attacks on-- on our consulate in Libya that killed ambassador Stevens and others
  there security personnel, that was spontaneous, was it a planned attack? Was there a terrorist
  element to it?
  MS. RICE: Well, let us-- let me tell you the— the best information we have at present. First of all,
  there's an FBI investigation which is ongoing. And we look to that investigation to give us the
  definitive word as to what transpired. But putting together the best information that we have available
  to us today our current assessment is that what happened in Benghazi was in fact initially a
  spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired hours before in Cairo, almost a copycat of-- of the
  demonstrations against our facility in Cairo, which were prompted, of course, by the video. What we
  think then transpired in Benghazi is that opportunistic extremist elements came to the consulate as
  this was unfolding. They came with heavy weapons which unfortunately are readily available in post
  revolutionary Libya. And it escalated into a much more violent episode. Obviously, that's-- that's our
  best judgment now. We'll await the results of the investigation. And the president has been very
  clear--we'll work with the Libyan authorities to bring those responsible to justice.

  GREGORY: Was there a failure here that this administration is responsible for, whether it's an
  intelligence failure, a failure to see this coming, or a failure to adequately protect U.S. embassies and
  installations from a spontaneous kind of reaction like this?
  MS. RICE: David, I don't think so. First of all we had no actionable intelligence to suggest that— that
  any attack on our facility in Benghazi was imminent. In Cairo, we did have indications that there was
  the risk that the video might spark some-- some protests and our embassy, in fact, acted accordingly,
  and had called upon the Egyptian authorities to-- to reinforce our facility. What we have seen as--
  with respect to the security response, obviously we had security personnel in Benghazi, a-- a
  significant number, and tragically, among those four that were killed were two of our security
  personnel. But what happened, obviously, overwhelmed the security we had in place which is why
  the president ordered additional reinforcements to Tripoli and-- and why elsewhere in the world we
  have been working with governments to ensure they take up their obligations to protect us and we
  reinforce where necessary
  GREGORY: The president and the secretary of state have talked about a mob mentality. That's my
  words, not their words, but they talked about the-- the tyranny of mobs operating in this part of the
  world. Here's the reality, if you look at foreign aid--U.S. direct foreign aid to the two countries
  involved here, in Libya and Egypt, this is what you'd see: two hundred million since 2011 to Libya,
  over a billion a year to Egypt and yet Americans are seeing these kinds of protests and attacks on our
  own diplomats. Would-- what do you say to members of congress who are now weighing whether to
  suspend our aid to these countries if this is the response that America gets?
  MS. RICE: Well, first of all, David, let's put this in perspective. As I said, this is a response to a-- a
  very offensive video. It's not the first time that American facilities have come under attack in the
  Middle East, going back to 1982 in-- in Beirut, going back to the Khobar Towers in-- in Saudi Arabia,
  or even the attack on our embassy in 2008 in Yemen.
  GREGORY: Or Iran in 1979.
  MS. RICE: This has-- this has happened in the past, but there-- and so I don't think that-- that we
  should misunderstand what this is. The reason we provide aid in Egypt and in Libya is because it
  serves American interests because the relationships...
  GREGORY: But-- but our Americans are not being served if this is the response.
  MS. RICE: It serves our interests to have Egypt willing and able to-- to maintain its peace treaty with
  Israel, it servers our interest for Egypt to continue to be a strong partner. Now, let's be clear, the
  government, once President Obama called President Morsi, immediately in Egypt the security forces
  came out and have provided very significant protection. Same in Tunisia, same in Libya, same in

  Yemen. And all of these leaders have very forcefully conveyed their condemnation of what has
  transpired.
  GREGORY: But there were conflicting messages from the Morsi government. In Arabic they
  encourage protests, lii English they said stop the protests. This from an ally that we give over a
  billion dollars?
  MS. RICE: What has happened in fact is that the Egyptian government has come out and protected
  our facilities. Our embassy is open today, things are calm. And Morsi has repeatedly been clear in
  his condemnation of-- of what has occurred. We-- we are in these partnerships, David, over the long-
  term. We think that-- that-- despite this very bumpy path we're on and the very disturbing images
  we've seen, it's in the United States fundamental interest that people have the ability to choose their
  own governments, that the governments be democratic and free. That's in our long-term best
  interest.
  GREGORY: You know that this...
  MS. RICE: We need to reinforce that with our assistance.
  GREGORY: We are in the middle of a heated presidential campaign, there are different foreign
  policy visions. That's why we wanted to dedicate the hour to this today to really understand these
  different views. Mitt Romney spoke out this week, he criticized the administration, talked about
  whether the United States was apologizing for some of the initial response to this. These were his
  comments this week.
  (Videotape; Wednesday)
  MR. MITT ROMNEY: The administration was wrong to stand by a statement sympathizing with those
  who had breached our embassy in Egypt instead of condemning their actions. I think it's a-- a-- a
  terrible course to-- for America to-- to stand in apology for our values.
  (End videotape)
  GREGORY: Our embassies did not stand up for speech-- free speech in this initial response to this
  violence. And the Republican charge is that it's weakness on the part of this administration that
  invites this kind of chaos, that the administration has not been tough enough on radical extremists
  that are beginning to take root in these countries. How do you respond to that?

  MS. RICE: First of all, I think the American people and certainly our diplomats and-- and
  development experts who are putting their lives on the line around the world every day expect from
  our leadership unity in times of challenge and strong, steady, steadfast leadership of the sort that
  President Obama has been providing. With respect to this, I think, vacuous charge of weakness,
  let's-- lets recall, I think, the American people fully understand that this is an administration led by a
  president who said when he ran for office that he would take the fight to at Qaeda. We have
  decimated at Qaeda. Osama bin Laden is dead. He said we would end the war responsibly in
  Iraq. We've done that. He has restored relationships around the world. I spend every day up at the
  United Nations where I have to interact with 192 other countries. I know how well the United States is
  viewed. I know that our standing is much improved and it's translated into important support for
  strong American positions, for example with sanctions against Iran.
  GREGORY: Was it inappropriate for Governor Romney to level the criticism he leveled?
  MS. RICE: I'm not going to get into politics, David. That's not my role in this job. But I think the
  American people welcome and appreciate strong, steady, unified leadership, bipartisan in times of
  challenge. And for those men and women in our diplomatic service, including those we tragically lost,
  they look to our leadership to be unified and responsible.
  GREGORY: Let's talk about another area where the administration is on the defensive in terms of
  leadership in the world, and that is the nuclear threat from Iran. Another area of tension between the
  United States and Israel. In just a couple of minutes we will show our interview with the prime
  minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu. And our viewers will see that. One aspect is how close Iran
  is getting to becoming a nuclear power. I asked him about that. I want to show you a piece of the
  interview and get your reaction to it.
  (Videotape)
  PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU (Prime Minister of Israel): I can tell you, David, that Iran
  has been placed with some clear red lines on a few matters, and they have avoided crossing
  them. So I think that as they get closer and closer and closer to the achievement of the weapons-
  grade material, and they're very close, they're six months away from being about 90 percent of
  having the enriched uranium for an atom bomb, I think that you have to place that red line before
  them now, before it's-- it's too late.
  GREGORY: As the prime minister of Israel, has Iran crossed your red line?

  MR. NETANYAHU: Well, the way I would say it, David, is they are in the red zone. You know, they
  are in the last 20 yards. And you can't let them cross that goal line. You can't let them score a
  touchdown, because that would have unbelievable consequences, grievous consequences, for the
  peace and security of us all-- of the world really.
  (End videotape)
  GREGORY: What is President Obama's line in the sand, the point at which he says to Iran don't
  cross this with your nuclear program or there's going to be a military consequence?
  MS. RICE: David, the president has been very, very clear. Our bottom line, if you want to call it a red
  line, president's bottom line has been that Iran will not acquire a nuclear weapon and we will take no
  option off the table to ensure that it does not acquire a nuclear weapon, including the military option.
  GREGORY: The prime minister says...
  MS. RICE: But...
  GREGORY: ...they are acquiring.
  MS. RICE: ...he's talking about a-- a red zone which is a new concept...
  GREGORY: No, no, but he's talking about how close they are to actually becoming a nuclear power--
  having to develop a capacity to become a nuclear power.
  MS. RICE: They're not there yet. They are not there yet. And our assessment is, and-- and we
  share this regularly with our Israeli counterparts in the intelligence and defense community, that there
  is time and space for the pressure we are mounting, which is unprecedented in terms of sanctions, to
  still yield results. This is not imminent. The window is not infinite, but let's be clear--the sanctions
  that-- that are now in place reached their high point in July. The-- the Iranian economy is
  suffering. It's shrinking for the first time. Negative one percent growth. The amount of production of
  Iranian oil has dropped 40 percent over the last several months. Their currency has plummeted 40
  percent over the last several months. This pressure is even to use the Iranian's own words crippling.
  GREGORY: But can you say...
  MS. RICE: And we think...
  GREGORY: ...that President Obama's strategy to keep Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon almost
  at the end of his first term is succeeding or failing?

  MS. RICE: David, what is clear is Iran does not have a nuclear weapon. And that Iran is more
  isolated than ever internationally. The economic pressure it is facing is much greater than
  ever. When President Obama came to office the international community was divided about
  Iran. And Iran was internally very united. The exact opposite is the case today. The international
  community is united. We just had another strong resolution out of the IAEA Board of Governors. And
  the internal dynamics in Iran are-- are fracturing and the leadership is divided. We are committed and
  President Obama is committed to preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. It is not a policy
  of containment. But, David, the most difficult and profound decision that any president has to make is
  the decision to go to war. And this president is committed to exhausting pressure, economic
  pressure, and diplomacy while there is-- is still time before making a decision of such consequence.
  GREGORY: Ambassador Rice, the debate continues. Thank you very much...
  MS. RICE: Thank you.
  GREGORY: ...for your views this morning.
  Now to this looming nuclear threat from Iran from the Israeli perspective. There were new tensions
  between the Obama administration in Israel this week. Earlier, I spoke with the prime minister of
  Israel Benjamin Netanyahu about where things stand and whether he is trying to influence the
  outcome of our presidential campaign.

  It is almost inevitable in an election year that Republicans use every possible opportunity to attack the Obama
  Administration. Part of these attacks have been effort to embarrass the President by turning the killing of
  Ambassador Stevens into a "goteha" contest where the President is somehow blamed for largely local security
  decisions and "intelligence failures." The Administration, in turn, has fumbled the situation by going into a state
  of confused denial -- focusing on the uncertain chronology of events that led to Ambassador Chris Stevens'
  death.

  The Republicans seem to be "winning" in political terms, largely because so few Americans in think tanks and
  the media realize that virtually all intelligence and security post-mortems on such events uncover the same
  problems. Once the event is over and clear patterns emerge, there are always warning indicators that could have
  been heeded in retrospect. If one ignores that vast amount of "noise" from other conflicting indicators, and
  looks back with 20-20 hindsight, every such event is always an "intelligence" failure.
  Moreover, competent security officers always are asking for more support and coverage in any area where risks
  exist. There is never enough security even in the best funded times, and these are not the best funded times.
  Almost every aspect of U.S. diplomacy has been subject to budget cuts at a time of upheaval in the Arab world
  and global economic crisis.
  A recent article by Dana Milbank in the Washington Post notes that the same Republican dominated House that
  now critiques events in Libya cut State Department operations by $300 million in 2009 and eliminated funds for
  some 30 more security positions along with it. The House cut security funding by $128 million in FY2011 and
  $331 million in FY2012, although the Senate restored $88 million. Under at least one of Congressman Ryan's
  proposals to amend the budget, State Department funding would be cut by an additional 20% million in 2014 –
  which means another $400 million cut in security.
  It is no tribute to the Obama Administration that it did far too little to push back against these cuts, and even
  less to articulate the need to fund stronger U.S. "expeditionary diplomacy" efforts. Indeed, at a time when far
  too many countries are in crisis and the U.S. faces increased challenges to its regional goals, more funds,
  stronger country teams, increased humanitarian aid, beefed-up military assistance, and on-the-scene diplomacy
  is needed to support U.S. interests.
  In fairness to Secretary Clinton and the large number of dedicated diplomatic professionals, State has tried to
  deal with these challenges by refocusing its diminishing resources, strengthening its ability to provide on-the-
  scene aid, and creating civil efforts that can deal with crises like Syria and the need to provide stronger U.S. aid
  and advisory teams if dictators like Assad fall.
  So far, both the Republican "gotcha" efforts and the Administration's failure to make the case for strong
  "expeditionary diplomacy" have totally failed to serve the U.S. national interest, and have been the worst
  possible memorial to Ambassador Chris Stevens, a man who clearly knew that America's success required risk
  taking and action in the field.
  It is time we come to grips with the world we actually live in. We can't deal with the political upheavals in a
  single Arab country, the impact of Transition in Afghanistan, the internal struggle for the future of Islam,
  energy and trade security, the various national crises in Latin America and Africa, or the competition for the
  future of Asia by speeches in the U.S., quick visits by senior U.S. officials, outside radio and TV programs, and
  empty rhetoric about taking stronger stands or exporting U.S. values.
  We need strong country teams, and teams that are active and take risks. We need men and women on the scene
  who accept the realities on the ground in the countries they operate in. We need strong country teams that can
  work with the full range of factions, provide help in forming political parties and changing governance, provide
  carefully selected aid and advisory efforts to catalyze reform, and provide military and security advisors that
  can help countries move towards stability without excessive repression and threatening their neighbors.
  We need to protect our embassies, consulates, and military advisory groups, but we cannot afford to turn them
  in to fortresses that lock our diplomats, aid teams, and military on the scene away from events and the people
  they are trying to influence. If there are any real lessons from Libya —or Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen,
  Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and all the other nations on the long list of cases where
  American diplomats, advisors and security teams died to serve their country —it is that projecting any form of

  smart power is done on the ground, is done by moving throughout the country, is done by taking risks, and will
  inevitably incur casualties.
  Some will be ambassadors, some will be aid team personnel or experts in public diplomacy, and some will be
  CIA or men and women in uniform. Every one of them will be a tragedy. But we cannot let either false
  economies or extremist and terrorist threats defeat such efforts. The cost of properly funded expeditionary
  diplomacy —people, military and civil aid funds, and fully funded security efforts —is going to be cheaper
  even on a global level than losing contact and U.S. influence in a single country like Egypt, or being unprepared
  to deal with the flow of events in a nation like Syria or Iraq.
  It is also already all too clear that extremist elements throughout the world realize that attacks on U.S. diplomats
  and military advisors or partners are one of the cheapest and most effective ways to gain immediate visibility,
  strike at the heart of U.S. public opinion, drive the U.S. out of a country, or limit its influence. No one needs to
  defeat U.S. military forces — which can only be deployed to a handful of countries at most —if they can expel
  or paralyze American diplomacy, support for U.S. businesses and investment, support for U.S. NG0s, and
  effective U.S. military and security advisory efforts.
  This threat is already all too real in far too many parts of the world, and it has effectively eliminated one of the
  key differences between "hard" and "soft" power. "Soft" power cannot survive where it is not protected by
  "hard" power. Moreover, there are few if any crises cases where advice and aid in politics, governance,
  economics and rule of law can be separated from a matching need for advice and aid in addressing military,
  security, counterterrorism, and national police concerns.
  In short, we do not need "gotcha" post-mortems or half-formed defenses. The tribute we really owe
  Ambassador Chris Stevens is to undertake the following eight steps:
  • Understand that diplomacy will often be a form of asymmetric warfare in crisis countries, particularly
  those with crumbling regimes or new unstable governments. Accept the fact there can be no success
  without taking increased risk and suffering casualties.
  • Set realistic and achievable goals country-by-country and give the ambassador and country team as
  much discretion as possible. Don't set impossible goals for instant democracy, human rights, rule of law
  or stability. Accept the need for evolutionary action and "doing it their way." Don't try one size fits all
  ideological solutions or efforts from Washington.
  • Stop focusing on narrow budget cuts and examine the costs and benefits of effective, well-funded
  country team efforts. If properly funded diplomacy and country team efforts only win support for the
  U.S. in one crisis country over the next decade, or avoid even one armed intervention, they will still
  more than pay for their costs in terms of the U.S. budget, and the overall effort will be immensely more
  valuable in terms of gains (and tax revenues) in U.S. trade and investment.
  • Reexamine how to create all of the elements of "expeditionary diplomacy" efforts, including strong
  country teams, and the ability to suddenly boost teams in countries in crises, with the full range of tools
  an ambassador needs. This includes adequate staff, operating and security funds, and flexible aid funds
  that can be applied quickly to deal with changing needs and circumstances.
  • Fully fund security but find the best ways to change existing procedures to emphasize mobility and
  move to high-risk areas. Refocus intelligence to help reduce risks, and restructure protection efforts to
  provide specially trained and equipped U.S. and foreign national security. Stop doing pointless security
  post-mortem blame games and focus on the future.
  • Reward and encourage necessary risk taking. Make it clear that this is a key part of a successful career
  path, that it will be fully supported by State and other agencies deploying U.S. personnel, and reorient
  security efforts in country to protect such efforts in the best ways possible rather than creating rules that
  either make effective action impossible or force diplomats and advisors to violate such rules without
  protection. Anyone who works with U.S. diplomats, aid workers, and military advisory teams overseas

  knows that we have strong cadres ready and willing to take such risks. The challenge is to properly
  support them in country and reward them for their service.
  Reexamine the insurance coverage, benefits, and salaries of such risk takers. Don't sustain the present
  situation in Afghanistan and earlier in Iraq where contractors get massive wage increases and diplomats
  and aid workers lack the full equivalent of combat pay and protection for them and their families if they
  are killed or disabled. Ensure adequate lasting medical care for lasting injuries.
  Finally, see if there is some way the U.S. Congress can address these issues realistically in a way that actually
  focuses on U.S. national interests even in a time of petty partisan feeding frenzies. These efforts not only need
  the next Administration to fully fund and support them at a time of growing budget pressures, they need
  bipartisan support in both Houses of Congress.
  There will be a need for outside review, for new reporting requirement and for hearings. But, they need to look
  forward. U.S. efforts must serve national interests rather than personal or partisan advantage, accept the
  complexity and time needed to deal with country-by-country efforts, and focus on pragmatic ways of dealing
  with the future rather than dissecting the past.

  Contrast between Benghazi and reports from the West: Here in Benghazi since Thursday, I have joined our
  representative, Chris Stevens, in meetings with a large number of representatives from the TNC, civil society, UN
  organizations and NG0s, and the diplomatic corps. While we had no idea that our trip would correspond with significant
  military advances in the east and the start of the coordinated Tripoli uprising dubbed "Operation Mermaid Dawn," the
  timing gave us the opportunity to note the contrast between the relative bureaucratic quiet here compared to hyped-up
  activity in western Libya. Clearly, some coordination is underway between Benghazi and the west: Ali Tarhouni, recently
  promoted to Deputy Prime Minister In a still-to-be-completed cabinet reshufle, previewed the Tripoli uprising with us,
  down almost to the minute. Yet one feels that, to a large extent, TNC officials are observers and chroniclers rather than
  the authors of the unfolding developments to the west. (In a telling anecdote, just after confiding in us the plans for
  Tripoli about to unfold, Tarhouni turned off his ringing cell phone, to concentrate on talking to us in a leisurely
  manner.) What TNC officials told us to a large extent was sensible and mostly reassuring in its content -- and the TNC
  just issued a directive reiterating its policy to treat combatants according to the Geneva conventions and observe human
  rights -- but their comments fell mostly in the category of passive analysis rather than aggressive forward
  thinking. Washington has task forces in focused on Tripoli; Benghazi does not
  While there's a sense in the air that the final battles have begun, that palpable anticipation does not seem to have
  translated into the type of stepped-up bureaucratic activity that one would expect. After meeting with us for nearly two
  hours on Thursday, TNC Executive Committee chair (and PM equivalent) Mahmoud Jibril returned to Doha rather than
  head any kind of war room here. I was on the ground far longer than Jibril, giving another cameo appearance
  here. Tarhouni confided that there is no plan for when or how the TNC would relocate quickly to Tripoli, should Tripoli
  fall. TNC Chairman Mustafa Abduljalil (who remains by all accounts a unifying figure here) is a humble, retiring leader,
  which after Qadhafi's flamboyance is part of the attraction for Libyans but which does not make him naturally think of
  how to project INC authority and symbolism quickly to the newly liberated areas. The question is when Tripoli falls, do
  the extensive plans that the TNC has made about the post Qadhafi transitional structures have any relevance for
  Tripoli? I do not want to overplay this: the flags being raised in the western towns are the flags used here. Our visit to
  the military command center demonstrated that there is active information flow (if not exactly command and control)
  passing between east and west. Tarhouni and others who visit western towns, usually from Tunis, describe support
  there and from tribal leaders across Libya. No other groups are claiming to have established or planned for an
  alternative civilian authority to compete with the TNC. Still, in our engagement with TNC officials, we will need to
  remind them continually of the imperative to nurture their legitimacy and authority and to prevent a political vacuum
  that others could fill -- especially after Tripoli falls and the INC is here, not there.
  We've talked a lot about Tripoli and whether a battle for the capital could be avoided, which we argued would be the
  best solution. One of the TNC's assets is the moral distinction between what the Libya that the TNC aspires to promote
  and how Qadhafi has treated Libya's citizens. The world's attention will focus on a battle for Tripoli, we cautioned, and
  acts of brutality and revenge and potential internal fights among competing militias will blur that moral distinction even
  more than the assassination of INC Chief of Staff Abdulfatah Younis already did. The damage to the TNC's credibility
  could be irreparable. We also noted that a TNC led negotiation that succeeds in winning Tripoli without a fight would
  underscore the TNC leadership far more dramatically than a successful militia assault only vaguely connected to the
  Benghazi leadership. The TNC officials heard us out patiently, but they clearly were not in the mood to negotiate. They
  feel confident about the current military situation, and they remain convinced that Qadhafi simply will not give up no
  matter how high the pressure. If anything, their positions have hardened in recent weeks, with Abduljalil telling us that
  the TNC will no longer contemplate Qadhafi staying in Libya once he is out of power. Saif Qadhafi is seen in the same
  category as his father. I do not believe that anything short of a significant change -- Qadhafi's departure, a military

  setback that punctures the TNC's current confidence, NATO insisting on a pause in operations in favor of negotiations --
  will persuade the TNC leadership that it is in their interest right now to offer Qadhafi a peaceful way out. Tarhouni also
  acknowledged with his trademark candor that, to the Libyan people right now, negotiations would appear weak and
  not a satisfactory climax to the revolution. They do have a point that, despite signs of desperation around Qadhafi (e.g.,
  Mohammed Ismail's multiple attempts to contact Gene Cretz and me), there is no indication that Qadhafi himself is
  prepared to throw in the towel. There is real fear that, should Qadhafi somehow make it from Tripoli to Sebha, a guerilla
  war could persist for years, with supplies and mercernaries smuggled across the Saharan border.
  Among other topics, we pushed the INC officials hard on starting a high-profile discussion immediately on the
  reconciliation which is part of the TNC's platform. We noted that the many victims of Qadhafi's 42-year rule will be less
  likely to pursue individual acts of revenge If they are assured that there will be some form to address grievances through
  rule-of-law accountability. The same message should also appeal to average Libyans who for whatever reason remained
  as part of Qadhafi's regime to the end but who have no blood on their hands and might otherwise fear retribution. INC
  officials refer approvingly to the South African and Moroccan models, and they reiterated their commitment for an
  inclusive process for Libya's future that welcomes all but the most notorious individuals around Qadhafi. Yet they still
  seem to rely largely on (variously described) luck, tribal discipline, and the "gentle character" of the Libyan people as the
  best assurances against abuse and revenge killings. We will continue to push on this.
  Benghazi remained full of chatter about the Abdulfatah Younis assassination. With tribal visits and investigation
  committees and cabinet changes, the INC addressed the immediate crisis sufficiently effectively that the intiial tension
  and gunfire quickly dissipated. But the assassination highlighted two realities of Libyan life that TNC officials had
  previously tried to downplay: tribes and militias. Rather than denying the tribal affiliations of Libyans, TNC officials are
  now looking to the tribes as part of the solution in enforcing discipline and preventing the type of widescale looting and
  pillaging that destroyed Benghazi's security infrastructure in March. Tribes, we heard, can also be a corrective balance
  to Islamist leanings. On reining in the militias, we heard no good answers. Some people (Tarhouni, INC National
  Security Advisor Bazama, some civil society representatives) spoke frankly about the problem, including the Islamist
  leanings of the most powerful. The Islamist militias deserve more discussion in other channels, but a couple of people
  noted that the Younis assassination had an upside in making scrutiny of this issue imperative. Others seemed to rely,
  again, on luck or tried to avert their eyes from the problem that militias could post on the Day After. There was
  widespread disdain for Qatar's role in encouraging certain militia elements, and I will be able to cite lots of concern here
  when I go to Doha later. Qatar's role, too, is a subject better discussed elsewhere.
  We also discussed humanitarian and financial needs. Tarhouni and Jibril noted that the TNC's financial needs increase as
  more territory falls under rebel control; they are worried that, if they can't provide electricity to newly liberated towns
  or fund other services there, disenchantment with the TNC will grow. Tarhouni agreed to reach out to the Indians to
  discuss Libya's outstanding debts, to see if he can help us get India's hold on the frozen asset proposal lifted. Briefed on
  South Africa's objections, fibril understood the need for continued outreach to Africa (although part of our South Africa
  problem may derive from Jibril's poor relations with Zuma, with Jibril telling us that he recently accused Zuma of making
  Nelson Mandela feel ashamed); Abdulrahman Shalgam will go to the August 25-26 AU Summit and Jibril did not rule out
  attending himself. I've spoken several times to UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed since arriving here, and the
  UAE has finally responded positively to our soft collateral proposal for a loan to the TNC, which may be our fastest way
  of getting funds here, assuming we can come up with a letter that meets the UAE's needs and passes the scrutiny of the
  U.S. interagency process.
  My traveling companions, Bill Roebuck (NEA/MAG director) and Ben Fishman from the NSS, start their return trip today.
  I will go on to Cairo, Doha, and Abu Dhabi, where, inter alia, I will have more Libya discussions, including seeing Jibril
  again in Doha. With NileSat continuing to broadcast Qadhafi's propaganda, the Libyan anger over Egypt's role
  approaches if not exceeds annoyance with Qataar. We are also checking on how to get from Cairo back here, should I
  need to join Chris here in the coming days.
  Chris and his tiny staff are doing a heroic job in representing our interests here. I am especially appreciative to DS for all
  the work done to support my trip. I also want to highlight the work that Pat Kennedy's M family and NEA/EX did in
  establiishing living and working quarters for Chris and his team. Thanks to a lot of creativity and hard work, the

  remind them continually of the imperative to nurture their legitimacy and authority and to prevent a political vacuum
  that others could fill -- especially after Tripoli falls and the INC is here, not there.
  We've talked a lot about Tripoli and whether a battle for the capital could be avoided, which we argued would be the
  best solution. One of the TNC's assets is the moral distinction between what the Libya that the TNC aspires to promote
  and how Qadhafi has treated Libya's citizens. The world's attention will focus on a battle for Tripoli, we cautioned, and
  acts of brutality and revenge and potential internal fights among competing militias will blur that moral distinction even
  more than the assassination of INC Chief of Staff Abdulfatah Younis already did. The damage to the TNC's credibility
  could be irreparable. We also noted that a TNC led negotiation that succeeds in winning Tripoli without a fight would
  underscore the TNC leadership far more dramatically than a successful militia assault only vaguely connected to the
  Benghazi leadership. The TNC officials heard us out patiently, but they clearly were not in the mood to negotiate. They
  feel confident about the current military situation, and they remain convinced that Qadhafi simply will not give up no
  matter how high the pressure. If anything, their positions have hardened in recent weeks, with Abduljalil telling us that
  the TNC will no longer contemplate Qadhafi staying in Libya once he is out of power. Saif Qadhafi is seen in the same
  category as his father. I do not believe that anything short of a significant change -- Qadhafi's departure, a military

  setback that punctures the TNC's current confidence, NATO insisting on a pause in operations in favor of negotiations --
  will persuade the TNC leadership that it is in their interest right now to offer Qadhafi a peaceful way out. Tarhouni also
  acknowledged with his trademark candor that, to the Libyan people right now, negotiations would appear weak and
  not a satisfactory climax to the revolution. They do have a point that, despite signs of desperation around Qadhafi (e.g.,
  Mohammed Ismail's multiple attempts to contact Gene Cretz and me), there is no indication that Qadhafi himself is
  prepared to throw in the towel. There is real fear that, should Qadhafi somehow make it from Tripoli to Sebha, a guerilla
  war could persist for years, with supplies and mercernaries smuggled across the Saharan border.
  Among other topics, we pushed the INC officials hard on starting a high-profile discussion immediately on the
  reconciliation which is part of the TNC's platform. We noted that the many victims of Qadhafi's 42-year rule will be less
  likely to pursue individual acts of revenge If they are assured that there will be some form to address grievances through
  rule-of-law accountability. The same message should also appeal to average Libyans who for whatever reason remained
  as part of Qadhafi's regime to the end but who have no blood on their hands and might otherwise fear retribution. INC
  officials refer approvingly to the South African and Moroccan models, and they reiterated their commitment for an
  inclusive process for Libya's future that welcomes all but the most notorious individuals around Qadhafi. Yet they still
  seem to rely largely on (variously described) luck, tribal discipline, and the "gentle character" of the Libyan people as the
  best assurances against abuse and revenge killings. We will continue to push on this.
  Benghazi remained full of chatter about the Abdulfatah Younis assassination. With tribal visits and investigation
  committees and cabinet changes, the INC addressed the immediate crisis sufficiently effectively that the intiial tension
  and gunfire quickly dissipated. But the assassination highlighted two realities of Libyan life that TNC officials had
  previously tried to downplay: tribes and militias. Rather than denying the tribal affiliations of Libyans, TNC officials are
  now looking to the tribes as part of the solution in enforcing discipline and preventing the type of widescale looting and
  pillaging that destroyed Benghazi's security infrastructure in March. Tribes, we heard, can also be a corrective balance
  to Islamist leanings. On reining in the militias, we heard no good answers. Some people (Tarhouni, INC National
  Security Advisor Bazama, some civil society representatives) spoke frankly about the problem, including the Islamist
  leanings of the most powerful. The Islamist militias deserve more discussion in other channels, but a couple of people
  noted that the Younis assassination had an upside in making scrutiny of this issue imperative. Others seemed to rely,
  again, on luck or tried to avert their eyes from the problem that militias could post on the Day After. There was
  widespread disdain for Qatar's role in encouraging certain militia elements, and I will be able to cite lots of concern here
  when I go to Doha later. Qatar's role, too, is a subject better discussed elsewhere.
  We also discussed humanitarian and financial needs. Tarhouni and Jibril noted that the TNC's financial needs increase as
  more territory falls under rebel control; they are worried that, if they can't provide electricity to newly liberated towns
  or fund other services there, disenchantment with the TNC will grow. Tarhouni agreed to reach out to the Indians to
  discuss Libya's outstanding debts, to see if he can help us get India's hold on the frozen asset proposal lifted. Briefed on
  South Africa's objections, fibril understood the need for continued outreach to Africa (although part of our South Africa
  problem may derive from Jibril's poor relations with Zuma, with Jibril telling us that he recently accused Zuma of making
  Nelson Mandela feel ashamed); Abdulrahman Shalgam will go to the August 25-26 AU Summit and Jibril did not rule out
  attending himself. I've spoken several times to UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed since arriving here, and the
  UAE has finally responded positively to our soft collateral proposal for a loan to the TNC, which may be our fastest way
  of getting funds here, assuming we can come up with a letter that meets the UAE's needs and passes the scrutiny of the
  U.S. interagency process.
  My traveling companions, Bill Roebuck (NEA/MAG director) and Ben Fishman from the NSS, start their return trip today.
  I will go on to Cairo, Doha, and Abu Dhabi, where, inter alia, I will have more Libya discussions, including seeing Jibril
  again in Doha. With NileSat continuing to broadcast Qadhafi's propaganda, the Libyan anger over Egypt's role
  approaches if not exceeds annoyance with Qataar. We are also checking on how to get from Cairo back here, should I
  need to join Chris here in the coming days.
  Chris and his tiny staff are doing a heroic job in representing our interests here. I am especially appreciative to DS for all
  the work done to support my trip. I also want to highlight the work that Pat Kennedy's M family and NEA/EX did in
  establiishing living and working quarters for Chris and his team. Thanks to a lot of creativity and hard work, the

  It is almost inevitable in an election year that Republicans use every possible opportunity to attack the Obama.
  Administration. Part of these attacks have been effort to embarrass the President by turning the killing of
  Ambassador Stevens into a "goteha" contest where the President is somehow blamed for largely local security
  decisions and "intelligence failures." The Administration, in turn, has fumbled the situation by going into a state
  of confused denial – focusing on the uncertain chronology of events that led to Ambassador Chris Stevens'
  death.

  The Republicans seem to be "winning" in political terms, largely because so few Americans in think tanks and
  the media realize that virtually all intelligence and security post-mortems on such events uncover the same
  problems. Once the event is over and clear patterns emerge, there are always warning indicators that could have
  been heeded in retrospect. If one ignores that vast amount of "noise" from other conflicting indicators, and
  looks back with 20-20 hindsight, every such event is always an "intelligence" failure.
  Moreover, competent security officers always are asking for more support and coverage in any area where risks
  exist. There is never enough security even in the best funded times, and these are not the best funded times.
  Almost every aspect of U.S. diplomacy has been subject to budget cuts at a time of upheaval in the Arab world
  and global economic crisis.
  A recent article by Dana Milbank in the Washington Post notes that the same Republican dominated House that
  now critiques events in Libya cut State Department operations by $300 million in 2009 and eliminated funds for
  some 30 more security positions along with it. The House cut security funding by $128 million in FY2011 and
  $33! million in FY2012, although the Senate restored $88 million. Under at least one of Congressman Ryan's
  proposals to amend the budget, State Department funding would be cut by an additional 20% million in 2014 –
  which means another $400 million cut in security.
  It is no tribute to the Obama Administration that it did far too little to push back against these cuts, and even
  less to articulate the need to fund stronger U.S. "expeditionary diplomacy" efforts. Indeed, at a time when far
  too many countries are in crisis and the U.S. faces increased challenges to its regional goals, more funds,
  stronger country teams, increased humanitarian aid, beefed-up military assistance, and on-the-scene diplomacy
  is needed to support U.S. interests.
  In fairness to Secretary Clinton and the large number of dedicated diplomatic professionals, State has tried to
  deal with these challenges by refocusing its diminishing resources, strengthening its ability to provide on-the-
  scene aid, and creating civil efforts that can deal with crises like Syria and the need to provide stronger U.S. aid
  and advisory teams if dictators like Assad fall.
  So far, both the Republican "gotcha" efforts and the Administration's failure to make the case for strong
  "expeditionary diplomacy" have totally failed to serve the U.S. national interest, and have been the worst
  possible memorial to Ambassador Chris Stevens, a man who clearly knew that America's success required risk
  taking and action in the field.
  It is time we come to grips with the world we actually live in. We can't deal with the political upheavals in a
  single Arab country, the impact of Transition in Afghanistan, the internal struggle for the future of Islam,
  energy and trade security, the various national crises in Latin America and Africa, or the competition for the
  future of Asia by speeches in the U.S., quick visits by senior U.S. officials, outside radio and TV programs, and
  empty rhetoric about taking stronger stands or exporting U.S. values.
  We need strong country teams, and teams that are active and take risks. We need men and women on the scene
  who accept the realities on the ground in the countries they operate in. We need strong country teams that can
  work with the full range of factions, provide help in forming political parties and changing governance, provide
  carefully selected aid and advisory efforts to catalyze reform, and provide military and security advisors that
  can help countries move towards stability without excessive repression and threatening their neighbors.
  We need to protect our embassies, consulates, and military advisory groups, but we cannot afford to turn them
  in to fortresses that lock our diplomats, aid teams, and military on the scene away from events and the people
  they are trying to influence. If there are any real lessons from Libya —or Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen,
  Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and all the other nations on the long list of cases where
  American diplomats, advisors and security teams died to serve their country it is that projecting any form of

  smart power is done on the ground, is done by moving throughout the country, is done by taking risks, and will
  inevitably incur casualties.
  Some will be ambassadors, some will be aid team personnel or experts in public diplomacy, and some will be
  CIA or men and women in uniform. Every one of them will be a tragedy. But we cannot let either false
  economies or extremist and terrorist threats defeat such efforts. The cost of properly funded expeditionary
  diplomacy —people, military and civil aid funds, and fully funded security efforts —is going to be cheaper
  even on a global level than losing contact and U.S. influence in a single country like Egypt, or being unprepared
  to deal with the flow of events in a nation like Syria or Iraq.
  It is also already all too clear that extremist elements throughout the world realize that attacks on U.S. diplomats
  and military advisors or partners are one of the cheapest and most effective ways to gain immediate visibility,
  strike at the heart of U.S. public opinion, drive the U.S. out of a country, or limit its influence. No one needs to
  defeat U.S. military forces — which can only be deployed to a handful of countries at most —if they can expel
  or paralyze American diplomacy, support for U.S. businesses and investment, support for U.S. NG0s, and
  effective U.S. military and security advisory efforts.
  This threat is already all too real in far too many parts of the world, and it has effectively eliminated one of the
  key differences between "hard" and "soft" power. "Soft" power cannot survive where it is not protected by
  "hard" power. Moreover, there are few if any crises cases where advice and aid in politics, governance,
  economics and rule of law can be separated from a matching need for advice and aid in addressing military,
  security, counterterrorism, and national police concerns.
  In short, we do not need "gotcha" post-mortems or half-formed defenses. The tribute we really owe
  Ambassador Chris Stevens is to undertake the following eight steps:
  • Understand that diplomacy will often be a form of asymmetric warfare in crisis countries, particularly
  those with crumbling regimes or new unstable governments. Accept the fact there can be no success
  without taking increased risk and suffering casualties.
  • Set realistic and achievable goals country-by-country and give the ambassador and country team as
  much discretion as possible. Don't set impossible goals for instant democracy, human rights, rule of law
  or stability. Accept the need for evolutionary action and "doing it their way." Don't try one size fits all
  ideological solutions or efforts from Washington.
  • Stop focusing on narrow budget cuts and examine the costs and benefits of effective, well-funded
  country team efforts. If properly funded diplomacy and country team efforts only win support for the
  U.S. in one crisis country over the next decade, or avoid even one armed intervention, they will still
  more than pay for their costs in terms of the U.S. budget, and the overall effort will be immensely more
  valuable in terms of gains (and tax revenues) in U.S. trade and investment.
  • Reexamine how to create all of the elements of "expeditionary diplomacy" efforts, including strong
  country teams, and the ability to suddenly boost teams in countries in crises, with the full range of tools
  an ambassador needs. This includes adequate staff, operating and security funds, and flexible aid funds
  that can be applied quickly to deal with changing needs and circumstances.
  Fully fund security but find the best ways to change existing procedures to emphasize mobility and
  move to high-risk areas. Refocus intelligence to help reduce risks, and restructure protection efforts to
  provide specially trained and equipped U.S. and foreign national security. Stop doing pointless security
  post-mortem blame games and focus on the future.
  • Reward and encourage necessary risk taking. Make it clear that this is a key part of a successful career
  path, that it will be fully supported by State and other agencies deploying U.S. personnel, and reorient
  security efforts in country to protect such efforts in the best ways possible rather than creating rules that
  either make effective action impossible or force diplomats and advisors to violate such rules without
  protection. Anyone who works with U.S. diplomats, aid workers, and military advisory teams overseas

  knows that we have strong cadres ready and willing to take such risks. The challenge is to properly
  support them in country and reward them for their service.
  Reexamine the insurance coverage, benefits, and salaries of such risk takers. Don't sustain the present
  situation in Afghanistan and earlier in Iraq where contractors get massive wage increases and diplomats
  and aid workers lack the full equivalent of combat pay and protection for them and their families if they
  are killed or disabled. Ensure adequate lasting medical care for lasting injuries.
  Finally, see if there is some way the U.S. Congress can address these issues realistically in a way that actually
  focuses on U.S. national interests even in a time of petty partisan feeding frenzies. These efforts not only need
  the next Administration to fully fund and support them at a time of growing budget pressures, they need
  bipartisan support in both Houses of Congress.
  There will be a need for outside review, for new reporting requirement and for hearings. But, they need to look
  forward. U.S. efforts must serve national interests rather than personal or partisan advantage, accept the
  complexity and time needed to deal with country-by-country efforts, and focus on pragmatic ways of dealing
  with the future rather than dissecting the past.

  Re: Plans of new Libyan PM
  SOURCE: Sources with direct access to the Libyan National Transitional Council, as well as the
  highest levels of European Governments, and Western Intelligence and security services.
  1.On October 15, 2012, new Lib3.7a Prime Minister Ah Zidan discussed the future structure of
  his cabinet and administration with senior advisors to interim President Yussef el Magariaf
  According to a sensitive source, Zidan stated that he intends to draw on all sectors of the Libyan
  political world to form his cabinet He also advised that while he must proceed with caution he will
  have at least one and possibly as many as three members of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and its
  Justice and Construction Party (JCP) included in the cabinet. Zidan believes that he can find
  members of the JCP and other Islamist groups who support his plan for establishing a moderate
  Islamic state, while maintaining good working relations with the United States and Western Europe.
  Zidan also plans to reach out to the supporters of Islamist General Abolel Hakim Alarnin Belhaj, who
  he believes can be used as a balance against al Qai'cla in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and Ansar al
  Sharia as they attempt to undermine the new administration.
  2. In the opinion of this individual Zidan is committed to Magariafs policy of seeking
  constructive relationships with international oil companies. In this regard, Zidan is looking for an
  individual to serve as Minister of Oil who has the appropriate experience and reputation in the
  International Oil industry, while maintaining Islamic credentials that will allow the Minister to work
  with the ,JCP and conservative independent members of the General National Congress (GNC). Zidan
  believes this will be among his greatest challenges. At the same time, this individual notes that Zidan
  has complained that he and Magarial are under pressure from the Mohammed Morsi and the Muslim
  Brotherhood Government of Egypt to use Egyptian oil service firms to replace Western firms in
  supporting the Libyan oil industry. Zidan is skeptical about this idea, fearing that Libya could become
  too dependent on Egypt for technical expertise. He believes that Western firms provide the
  opportunity to maintain independence and balance in the oil sector,

  3.(Source Comment: In the opinion of this source. Zidan, who served at the Libyan Mission to
  India for two years before defecting to the West in 1980, joining Magariaf and his anti- Qaddafl,
  National Front for the Salvation of Libya (NFSL), plans to work with all of the parties and groups in
  the GNC. At the same time his history gives the Prime Minister a relationship with the President and
  a degree of credibility that will be helpful as he forms his cabinet. According to this source, Zidan
  wants to move quickly to name a cabinet. His position is also strengthened by the fact that he worked
  on behalf of the National Transitional Council (NTC) during the 2011 Civil War, organizing
  international support for the rebels. According to this sensitive source, Zidan's immediate concerns
  include organizing the investigation of the September 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi,
  and the resulting assassination of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Zidan
  is already under pressure from the U.S. Government to move the investigation along as quickly as

  4. In the opinion of this individual Zidan realizes that the attack on the U.S. consulate is now
  an international symbol of the security issues at play in Libya, and that the use of pro-government
  militias to provide security is not a long term solution to the problem. Zidan believes that the idea
  that the government must ask for support from the powerful militias from Misrata and Zintan
  undermines his efforts to bring order and centralized authority to the country. Zidan believes that he
  can address this problem in part by developing a working majority in the GNC drawing on moderates
  and independents, who will support his efforts to establish a modern Islamic regime that can work
  with the West, particularly International Oil Companies. That said, he cautions his advisors that he
  does not anticipate real success in this regard until the latter part of 2013.

  SOURCE: Sources with direct access to the Libyan National Transitional Council, as well as
  the highest levels of European Governments, and Western Intelligence and security services.
  1. On October 15, 2012, new Libya Prime Minister Ali Zidan discussed the future
  structure of his cabinet and administration with senior advisors to interim President Yussef el
  Magariaf. According to a sensitive source, Zidan stated that he intends to draw on all sectors of
  the Libyan political world to form his cabinet. He also advised that while he must proceed with
  caution he will have at least one and possibly as many as three members of the Muslim
  Brotherhood (MB) and its Justice and Construction Party (JCP) included in the cabinet Zidan
  believes that he can find members of the JCP and other Islamist groups who support his plan for
  establishing a moderate Islamic state, while maintaining good working relations with the United
  States and Western Europe. Zidan also plans to reach out to the supporters of Islamist General
  Abdel Hakim Alamin Belhaj, who he believes can be used as a balance against al Qaetia in the
  Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and Ansar al Sharia as they attempt to undermine the new
  administration.
  2. In the opinion of this individual 'Zidan is committed to Metgariaf s policy of seeking
  constructive relationships with international oil companies. In this regard, Zidan is looking for
  an individual to serve as Minister of Oil who has the appropriate experience and reputation in the
  International Oil industry, while maintaining Islamic credentials that will allow the Minister to
  work with the JCP and conservative independent members of the General National Congress
  (GNC). Zidan believes this will be among his greatest challenges. At the same time, this
  individual notes that Zidan has complained that he and Magariaf arc under pressure from the
  Mohammed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood Government of Egypt to use Egyptian oil

  service firms to replace Western firms in supporting the Libyan oil industry. Zidan is skeptical
  about this idea, fearing that Libya could become too dependent on Egypt for technical expertise.
  He believes that Western firms provide the opportunity to maintain independence and balance in
  the oil sector.
  3.(Source Comment: In the opinion of this source, Zidan, who served at the Libyan
  Mission to India for two years before defecting to the West in 1980, joining Magariaf and his
  anti- Qaddafi National Front for the Salvation of Libya (NFSL), plans to work with all of the
  parties and groups in the GNC. At the same time his history gives the Prime Minister a
  relationship with the President and a degree of credibility that will be helpful as he forms his
  cabinet. According to this source, Zidan wants to move quickly to name a cabinet. His position
  is also strengthened by the fact that he worked on behalf of the National Transitional Council
  (NTC) during the 2011 Civil War, organizing international support for the rebels. According to
  this sensitive source, Zidan's immediate concerns include organizing the investigation of the
  September 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, and the resulting assassination of
  Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Zidan is already under pressure
  from the U.S. Government to move the investigation along as quickly as possible.)

  Subject: Video shows Libyans helping rescue US ambassador after attack (Reuters)
  BENGHAZI (Reuters) - An amateur video appears to show Libyans trying to rescue U.S. ambassador
  Christopher Stevens from a room filled with smoke at the U.S. mission where he was found unconscious after
  last week's attack by a mob protesting against a film that denigrates the Prophet Mohammad.
  The video,, which appeared on the interne and a copy of which was obtained by Reuters in Benghazi,
  confirms reports that suggested the U.S. envoy died of asphyxiation after the building caught fire.
  The footage also sheds new light on the circumstances of the ambassador's death, apparently showing for the
  first time that some of the people who forced their way into the U.S. compound later tried to rescue Stevens
  after they found him lying alone, with no security detail, in one of the rooms in the building.
  The video shows a group of young men who had earlier stormed the compound telling other protesters by the
  light of torches and mobile phones that they had found someone who appeared to be a foreigner lying on the
  floor.
  "There is someone inside He is a foreigner, he is a foreigner. Take him out," said one man, shouting for
  help.
  "Bring him out, man! Bring him out," another said.
  "The man is alive. Bring him out, man. Bring him out," said a third.
  "Alive, Alive! God is Greatest," the crowd cried. Someone called for a car.
  "Make space, is there someone who is a medic around? Anyone who can get a car quickly?" another man can
  be heard saying.
  Stevens and three other embassy staff died when gunmen attacked the U.S. consulate and a safe house in the
  eastern Libyan city on Tuesday night. The attackers were part of a crowd blaming America for a film they said
  insulted the Prophet Mohammad.
  Security personnel were separated from Stevens during the attack, U.S. officials said, in the chaos of smoke
  and gunfire that ensued.
  The identity and motive of the attackers remain unclear. Activists who took part in the protest said the
  motive was rage at the video produced in California and which describes the Prophet as a homosexual and

  Some Libyan officials blamed the attack on radical Islamist groups linked to al Qaeda, such as regional
  affiliate Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, and Ansar al-Sharia. Both groups back the introduction of Islamic
  Sharia law rather than democracy.
  The footage shows Stevens lying on the floor in a smoke-filled room after protesters had stormed the
  compound and set fire to its buildings.
  Minutes later he was pulled out of the room through a window, and then placed on the courtyard's stone tile
  floor. A young man is seen putting his hand on his neck to check if he was breathing.
  A protester wearing a white T-shirt who had carried Stevens out of the room was hugged by a fellow
  protestor in a traditional expression of gratitude.
  Seconds after the protesters found Stevens was alive, a young man in the background can be heard shouting:
  "Take him to my car, bring him to my car."
  A doctor on duty in the emergency room at the Benghazi Medical Centre that night has said local civilians
  brought in the ambassador at around 1 a.m. While the doctor performed CPR for 45 minutes, Stevens died of
  asphyxiation due to smoke inhalation. His body was later returned to U.S. custody.

  Update from Rep. Stevens in Benghazi, based on largely on info from acting PM Afi Tarhouni and acting FM
  Salah Bishari:
  • TNC caretaker cabinet/members were up until 4am following events in Tripoli and discussing plans for
  the coming days. Tarhouni said the TNC has been in constant communication with its people in Tripoli,
  including both fighters and those entrusted with implementing the stabilization plans. Rebels in Tripoli,
  in coordination with the TNC, have begun to set up checkpoints inside the city and guard public
  buildings
  • TNC chairman Abd al Jalil and PM Jibril made statements to the media last night, urging people to
  refrain from revenge attacks and destruction of public buildings.
  • There has so far been "no bloodbath" or serious looting.
  • The capture of Saif al-Islam al-Qadhafi and Mohamed al-Qadhafi is significant. The TNC, including
  Abd al-Jalil himself, intervened with rebels surrounding Mohamed's house to ensure that they did not
  harm him. They understood that it would be harmful to the revolution and the TNC if he were
  killed. These events were captured live by Al Jazeera in interviews with Mohamed. Both brothers are
  in rebel custody (at this time, it is unclear to us exactly who is holding them, however).
  • Per Tarhouni, the next steps are: 1) find Muammar Qadhafi; 2) issue a statement announcing the end of
  the Qadhaii regime and the start of the interim period under the TNC (TNC staff have begun drafting
  this statement already); 3) insure the delivery of essential services and commodities (esp. addressing the
  acute shortages of fuel, children's milk, and medication for blood pressure and diabetes); and 4) move
  the TNC to Tripoli.
  • Regarding the move to Tripoli, Tarhouni said security arrangements would need to be made before they
  could send the TNC leadership to the capital. We have heard from another contact that some TNC
  members are already making plans to fly to Misurata and the Western Mountains, possibly as early as
  today, and from there drive to Tripoli.
  • Request for assistance: Tarhouni, who also holds US citizenship, said the items listed above (gas, diesel,
  baby milk, and medicine) are urgently needed in Tripoli and recommended that the USG ship those
  items directly to Zawiya's Port and publicize such assistance as soon as feasible (in coordination with
  the TNC). Ile said this would bring the US even more goodwill than it has already earned here.
