Romney set to start getting intelligence briefings Sep 13th 2012, 19:59 Published September 13, 2012 Associated Press Sept. 13, 2012: Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney waves to supporters during a campaign event at Van Dyck Park in Fairfax, Va.AP WASHINGTON –  Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is expected to begin receiving regular intelligence briefings from the Obama administration in the coming days. Senior aides report that the Romney campaign is nearing the conclusion of a required security clearance process. The former Massachusetts governor did not have to request the briefings. They are customary for major-party candidates after their nominating conventions. With limited intelligence information, Romney struggled this week to respond in real time to a violent clash in Libya that left four Americans dead, including an ambassador. Before the deaths were confirmed, Romney mischaracterized the incident in his initial statement and accused President Barack Obama of a "disgraceful" handling of violence. Romney has been relying on his foreign policy advisers and published news reports to inform his positions on world affairs.
