 We begin tonight with breaking news thatyou will only see right here on 360. And frankly¹ some of the details are prettyastonishing. On a day that Secretary of State Clinton says she抯 still waitingfor answers while the FBI investigates the killing² of four Americans inBenghazi, Libya, our sources review that not one single FBI investigator³ hasset foot at the crime scene. Fifteen days after the terrorist attack, not one.Those same sources are also saying that the crime scene still has not beensecured. And those are just two headlines, just two new pieces of informationtonight, but that is not all we are learning. CNN International SecurityContributor Frank Tasilin once again has the scoop⁴ on all that She抯 gonna, shejoins us now. As we often mention Frank is the former White House homelandsecurity adviser⁵, she is currently a member of the CIA抯 External AdviserCommittee and was recently in Libya with her employer McCamdu & Forbs, alsowith the Senior Contributor and former CIA officer Bob Bear, are also Ela Lake,the Senior National Security Correspondent for Newsweek, and for the DailyBeat. So you抳e got new reporting now on the status of the FBI investigation⁶,what can you tell us?

Anderson, it抯 pretty extraordinary andastonishing to me who抯 worked with Investigations⁷ International and with theFBI over more than a decade. So you understand that when this happens and theFBI opens an investigation, one of the first things they do is go to the StateDepartment and say, please request permission for us to enter this country,Libya, get to the crime scene, Benghazi, please request that we will have thesecurity and ability to do that, that we will access to the crime scene, thatwe will have access to the any individuals that Libya抯 take into custody⁸. Nonethat is, while the FBI has made that request in the State Department, what wefound out today from Senior Law Enforcement officials is that while the FBI hasfinally made it to Tripoli, they抳e never made it to Benghazi.

They haven⁹抰 been on the ground ofBenghazi?

They have not. In fact, it was taking solong to get permission to get into Tripoli. The FBI deploys¹⁰ their personnel tolocation in the region so they抣l be closer. They have conducted interviews ofthe State Department and US government personnel who were in Libya at the timeof the attack, but they抳e not been able to get, they抳e gotten as for asTripoli now, but they抳e never gotten to Benghazi. They抳e made a request thatthe crime scene be secured. As we know from our regainmen reporting and otherpublic reporting, whether the State Department, we don抰 know whether or notthe State Department put that request to the Libyans, and whether it wasdenied, or what happened to it, what we know for sure is the crime scene wasnever secured, in fact, the Senior Law Enforcement official I spoke¹¹ to said ifwe get there now, it抯 not clear that it will be of any use to us. And then thethird and really critical and astonishing point to me was, that they made was,look, one of the things we have to do is question the individuals that theLibyan has in custody to get to the bottom of this to understand what they arelearning, and in fact they made that request through the State Department thatwas denied by Libya and so the FBI has to pass any questions they havem throughthe State Department to the Libyan government, they put the questions, then youwait for, sort of like child抯 game of telephone that information to come backbefore you can follow up, not at all the idea we have run an investigation.

And this is really amazing information thatyou are hearing from, from your sources. Now I want to play something for ourviewers from last Thursday, Secretary Clinton said this about theinvestigation, let抯 watch:

And we are at the very early stages of anFBI investigation. The team from the FBI reached Libya earlier this week.

So she said they reached Libya earlier thisweek, not to mention obviously being on the ground of Benghazi. You are sayingthey haven抰 been on the ground of Benghazi based on your sources. Is shesplinting hairs here?

Look, in fairness to the Secretary, it maybe that she wanted to be coy about where in Libya they were for securityconcerns. That would be understandable. But the fact is, it抯 not clear thatthey抳e been even inside Libya for very long. They had difficulty and therewas, we understand, some bureaucratic¹² infighting between the FBI and JusticeDepartment on the one hand, and the State Department on the other. So it tookthem longer than it would like to get into the country. They抳e now gottenthere, but they still are unable to get permission to go to Benghazi.
