There are those here at FR who say these contractors knew what the ambassador and Hillary were doing........blind sheik and weapons to our enemies, etc I always thought NO .....now unclear

There's no way they wouldn't have known. But they were also probably given a cover story to make it plausibly deniable.

Thanks for the report, FReepers are EVERYWHERE!

How did they get an invite?
************************************
Tickets were free to the public. Jerry Jones just made his stadium available for the movie. ....Heard on the radio today that there were over 80,000 people there. ....That jumbotron screen is hung mid-way across the field, so it can be viewed from both sides. The photo above only shows one side of the stands.

So it sounds like this report is greatly exaggerated.

But we can keep shouting Hilliary, and Obama who stopped a Special Ops from going in.

EXCERPTS...

All evidence now points to a specific stand-down order issued by Secretary Clinton, since the Libyan facilities came under her direct authority. Without a specific request for assistance from the State Department, the Pentagon was powerless to act.

Last month, the State Department released a critical email, sent at 7:09 pm Washington time (1:09 am Benghazi time) from Jeremy Bash, a top aide to Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, informing Mrs. Clinton’s office of various military assets that were “spinning up as we speak” to deploy to Benghazi.

And when the orders finally went out from Panetta’s office an hour later, they included a retransfer of C-110 from AFRICOM back to EUCOM, along with orders for the unit to move to Sigonella the next day and hold in place, instead of flying to Benghazi.

In other words, because Mrs. Clinton refused to authorize those forces to deploy into Libya to assist State Department personnel and State Department facilities, Panetta had no other choice but to put them on hold.

With the release of the Bash email and 13 Hours, Mrs. Clinton’s cover has been blown.

Oh I totally got your drift.

It looks like little nikky just shot her chance at a VP slot full of holes, which is probably a good thing.

Did you see the Spanish version of the Pubby response to the SOTU?

How cool! I got to see one of the early screenings her in Arkansas - this was in a theater.

Of those who saw the film - what is your opinion?

[TheBattman]

Not a whitewash. BUT - it does not name any names. The only “Stand Down” that is depicted is the station chief there in Benghazi... although the it played out and implied that he was under orders as well.

IT DOES show troops, aircraft, and other assets poised to move to help, but never going. It also clearly portray a Predator giving live-feed the entire time of the attack - so the facts were available to ALL in the Pentagon (and thus to the administration).

The characters also at one point near the end mock the “official” statement in the news of some kind of protests over a video.

The jackontheweb report was very accurate. I was there, arriving around 7 PM for an 8 PM movie time. The sound was impossible to hear in the 4th level and tough to hear in the 3rd. Instead of using the stadium sound system, they added their own speakers that were horribly underpowered. Some people stayed in the upper level, but I don’t know why. I moved to a side view spot in the 2nd level and could mostly hear there and could see reasonably well, to follow the movie. I missed about 20 minutes of the movie due to moving around to try to find a spot that was even mediocre. It was an epic fail overall. They could have shown the movie on all screens in the stadium and used the built in sound system and then 85K people could have seen it. Yes, thousands left in the first 15 minutes and thousands more couldn’t possibly have heard the dialogue.

I imagine the sound would be unintelligible in a stadium.
