Appropriate Security and Preventing Future Attacks Abroad

Season 2012 Episode 3540 | 8m 09s

The State Department was held responsible for the lack of embassy security and accurately measuring risks that led to attacks on U.S. Consulate in Libya. Jeffrey Brown talks to Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., and Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., who say what's important is not who is to blame, but how to prevent such attacks in the future.
