Guest Post: A Critical Evaluation of National Anticorruption Strategies
Mark Pyman, Senior Fellow at the London Institute for Statecraft, contributes the following guest post:

– “…Hersh has implicated Hillary Clinton directly…the then-US-Secretary-of-State’s role in the Benghazi Libya US consulate’s operation to collect weapons from Libyan stockpiles and send them through Turkey into Syria for a set-up sarin-gas attack, to be blamed on Assad in order to ‘justify’ the US invading Syria, as the US had invaded Libya to eliminate Gaddafi”:
(Seymour Hersh Says Hillary Approved Sending Libya’s Sarin to Syrian Rebels)
In an interview with Alternet.org, Hersh confirms Clinton’s role in the Benghazi Libya US consulate’s operation to collect weapons from Libyan stockpiles and send them through Turkey into Syria for a set-up sarin-gas attack. The goal was to blame the attack on Assad in order to ‘justify’ the US invading Syria.
However, now, for the first time, Hersh has implicated Hillary Clinton directly in this «rat line». In an interview with Alternet.org, Hersh was asked about the then-US-Secretary-of-State’s role in…
