really spreading around the world. because of that secretary of state hillary clinton said today the state bedepartment cranked security at diplomatic facilities around the world. there may be more time later to reflect but today we have work to do. there is no higher priority than protecting men and women that have served. nit is not only the united states s responsibility it is also the job of the host nation which can be very complicated especially a place that recently emerged from a year long civil war and no one is entirely sure who is in charge of what. wendell, libya is a rocky place it may be an under statement of the day. what complicates things is the many militias in libya who worked together to take down moammar qaddafi but don t see
thankly it isn t. embassies have been attacked in the past. they are very much our other terrorist target lists. this is a post conflict soles site, libya. everyone has weapons as i mentioned but you have a new government in power for weeks or months. you don t have the strongest in government. there is a police force under qaddafi. the police force was there to protect gadhafi. now you have police force to protect society. even with the rings of security around the consulate libya is a work in progress and it doesn t have the capacity it needs. we anticipated these kinds of bad days would happen in place
training forces, training that regime and backing them. they did the same thing in iraq where they have blood on their hands of thousands of u.s. troops there. iran s gets its tentacles in, supports nasty regimes to further its goals. it draws the lines even clearer for us about who our friends are on foes are, that s what makes it more puzzling for me why we were so aoeg tkpw-r to get rid of moammar qaddafi in libya and the regime in egypt but we are hesitating in syria with bashar al-assad and iran. martha: they said we had to step in there because of the nato forces and atrocities were going to be committed on a mass scale. and you see this report from the u.n. and it seems to indicate they have already been committed in syria. we were preventing them before, now we see them happening, we know they are happening to civilians. we shouldn t under state this. to an enemy of the united states
but it is raising questions today. kelly wright is live with more. tell us all about this. good morning to you as well. al maraty is dead. he was the only one known in the terrorist bombing in 1993. they claim libya s late dictator moammar qaddafi as well as syria and iran were involved in the bombing. megrahi was diagnosed with cancer he was released from jail only to receive a sehero s welce back in libya. all of this causing outrage for the families of bombing victims. aboard the flight was 36-year-old tom amevid. he talked about his death and rolling in the bombing. he carried out orders.
another three years. the allegations were made at the time that the release was related to a possible deal between the u.k. government and the libyan government of the late leader moammar qaddafi. officials here denying that, right up to this day, and also telling me today that the case remains open. one official explaining that when megrahi was convicted it was asserted he did not act alone and that means that more guilty people could be out there. in fact last month, fbi director mueller and the top scottish prosecutors met with the leadership of the new libyan government, still, without megrahi there, with megrahi gone, it could mean that a lot of evidence could be gone with him, having spent some time in lockerbie over the years, it s got to be very upsetting for the folks there and of course the folks back in the states jon. jon: greg palkot reporting live, greg, thank you. jenna: millions of americans don t get enough shut eye and now a troubling study on the serious health risks
