1:46:02
of convicting
one of our own.
1:46:04
None of us wants to do this,
but you've heard the facts,
1:46:07
and it is unavoidable.
1:46:10
Colonel Terry Childers ordered
the senseless slaughter...
1:46:13
of a peaceful crowd!
1:46:16
Now, as marines,
1:46:20
we do not get the luxury
of covering up our mistakes.
1:46:24
We must air them,
1:46:27
there by ensuring
that they never happen again.
1:46:30
Thank you.
1:46:40
That's sovereign
United States territory...
1:46:42
as much as if it were
in Ohio or Maryland.
1:46:45
Colonel Childers didn't
volunteer to go over there.
1:46:47
He was ordered to go there because
he was the best man for the job.
1:46:50
We armed him.
We trained him.
1:46:52
We sent him over there to risk
his life to save other Americans.
1:46:55
And then ask him
not to return fire?
1:46:58
There are over 300 bullet holes
in this building.
1:47:02
Colonel Childers didn't open fire.
He returned fire.
1:47:06
And he waited until after three
of his marines were dead...
1:47:10
and another lay
mortally wounded.
1:47:12
He waited until he was
personally under heavy fire.
1:47:15
He waited until he saw
that crowd holding weapons.
1:47:19
Only then did he order
his men to return fire.
1:47:22
Under the rules of engagement,
a civilian pointing a weapon...
1:47:24
is no longer a civilian,
1:47:26
and the use of deadly force
is authorized...
1:47:29
in order to save lives.
1:47:32
It's not murder.
1:47:35
It's combat.
1:47:39
Colonel Childers is
the only man alive...
1:47:41
who was in a position
to see that crowd.
1:47:43
But the camera on the embassy
roof had the same point of view.
1:47:46
The government
would have you believe...
1:47:47
there's no tape
from that camera.
1:47:49
I have shown you that that tape was
delivered to the State Department.
1:47:53
Do you believe that tape
got up and walked out...
1:47:55
of the State Department
on its own?
1:47:59
By not producing that tape,
the national security advisor,
