(CNN) – Discussing the most controversial part of her tenure at the State Department in her new book, “Hard Choices” – the attacks on the U.S. compounds in Benghazi, Libya, on the night of September 11, 2012 – former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton seems to gloss over the fact that Marines were not sent amid a worsening security situation in Libya, and were only sent after the attack.

The passage, which occurs in chapter 17, titled “Benghazi: Under Attack,” may bring even more attention to the State Department’s failure to provide sufficient security to American officials stationed in a dangerous place. The attacks killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other U.S. personnel, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods.

To date, no one has been brought to justice.

Noting how many members of the public and Congress were surprised upon discovering “there were no U.S. Marines assigned to our Benghazi compound,” Clinton notes that Marines are assigned to only slightly more than 50% of the diplomatic posts throughout the globe, focused primarily on protecting, and if need be destroying classified items.

“So while there were Marines stationed at our embassy in Tripoli, where nearly all of our diplomats worked and which had the capability to process classified material, because there was no classified processing at the diplomatic compound in Benghazi, there were no Marines posted there,” Clinton writes.

It’s accurate that there were no Marines at the U.S. compounds in Benghazi – Clinton doesn’t go into it, but one of those compounds was a CIA compound with its own force protection.

But, as Gen. Carter Ham, the former commander of Africa Command, testified before Congress on June 26, 2013, “there was no Marine security detachment in Tripoli.”
