Defense Secretary Panetta says U S forces could not be deployed into Benghazi because real time information was unavailable and commanders did not want to risk Americans. He notes heightened 9 11 alert while stressing no immediate pre positioned assets. The Senate will hold closed hearings on the attack and intelligence gaps.
