Good point. Stevens was going to go to Benghazi in October, but instead, he went on September 11 to evaluate whether to make Benghazi a permanent facility or not. They had to do it before September 30 so as not to lose the money.

I find this astonishing given the fact that the mission had been attacked twice along with the UK ambassador's convoy and the Red Cross. Why would we want to even consider making it a permanent facility given those circumstances?

Stevens went to Benghazi on September 10, spent the night, met the Turkish diplomat the next day Sept 11.
