[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Ping - Remember how approximately 15 minutes before the Benghazi attack
one of the embassy employees saw one of their security guards taking photos of the buildings and grounds ?
Clandestine spying immediately before the attack ?
Security provided by batons , ..indeed !
Didn't someone say you .. "bring a gun to a knife fight" ?

"In the months following the Benghazi Embassy siege I learned the fuller picture of what happened during that fateful night, both at the Mission itself and at the Annex, which was only a short drive away from the Mission. Tensions were running high that evening, because of a recce mission that a Libyan policeman—or more likely a bad guy posing as a policeman—had carried out that morning. We’d caught him taking photos of the Mission’s front gate and grounds, and we feared it was in preparation for some kind of an attack.": “A Night of Sheer Hell”: An eyewitness account of the Benghazi siege that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
