U.S. Ambassador and three others killed in Libya.

This keeps getting weirder and weirder....

U.S. Officials Knew Libya Attacks Were Work of Al Qaeda Affiliates

Seriously?? What were they thinking at the White House when they sent Susan Rice around to all the Sunday news shows saying it was a spontaneous attack that was an offshoot of the protests? They knew in the first 24 hours that it was a pre-planned assassination. Why the apparent coverup?

The most interesting thing is - I heard that within 36 hours.

So maybe its your news outlets that are off, not your government spokespeople?

As a response to Fragony: I'm absolutely certain the US Ambassador knew his life was in danger without a large security detail and he took the same calculated risk Bobby Kennedy did.

Like Bobby Kennedy he's dead, but that doesn't mean he was wrong.

After all, the problem isn't with the ambassador, or the rioters, or the Libyan militia protecting the compound - the problem is with the people who decided to off him for minor political gain which, thankfully, appears not to have materialised.

No sanctions, no drone strikes, no loss of credibility for the elected government in the eyes of the average Libyan.

That's most interesting to you?
CNN was reporting this withing 24 hours- yet our government spokespeople were still saying the opposite 5 days later.

U.S. sources say they do not believe the attacks that killed Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya, were in reaction to the online release of a film mocking Islam, CNN's Elise Labott reports.

"It was not an innocent mob," one senior official said. "The video or 9/11 made a handy excuse and could be fortuitous from their perspective, but this was a clearly planned military-type attack."
