Jake Tapper's got the goods.... again. Seems some days he's the last honest journalist in Washington.
Even after all the incidents leading up to the attack on 9/11, they expected these guy to travel commercial. As we read through the article, it's not like they hadn't already the DC-3 there. It was pulled by the State Dept. when commercial travel resumed. What might this have meant on that fateful night? Would it have been possible for these guys to escape? Who knows? They're too busy "investigating" themselves to actually answer any questions.
The subject line of the email, from Miki Rankin, the post management officer for Libya and Saudi Arabia, reads Termination of Tripoli DC-3 Support.
Rankin informs Stevens and the others on the email, whose names have been redacted, that Undersecretary of State for Management Patrick Kennedy has determined that support for Embassy Tripoli using the DC-3 will be terminated immediately. Posts request to continue use of the plane in support of the SST was considered. However, it was decided that, if needed, NEA will charter a special flight for their departure.
