Benghazi consulate attack: British contractor 'warned US repeatedly about security'

Benghazi consulate attack: British contractor 'warned US repeatedly about security' - Telegraph:
"British contractor 'Morgan Jones' speaks publicly about Benghazi consulate attack that resulted in death of Ambassador Chris Stevens
..."I was saying 'these guys are no good. You need to get them out of here'," he told CBS News, adding that he repeatedly cautioned that they were "not going to stand and fight" if they came under fire
"In the end I got quite bored of hearing my own voice saying it," he said.
Gregory Hicks, Mr Stevens' deputy, has said they requested more security for the mission and were frustrated by the refusals of senior State Department officials in Washington.
Speaking to CBS for a 60 Minutes special, Mr Jones said Stevens was indeed concerned about the compound's security and had sought his advice just hours before the attack commenced."
