I think in Tunisia there are 2 protestors dead. Probably killed by Tunisian police not us. Which is the way it should be. The host country has primary responsibility for protecting the embassy. Though we should always be prepared to defend ourselves.
3 dead protestors in Sudan.
That makes the score
I'm pretty sure the Cairo embassy didn't send out an apology until after the embassy was attacked. Early reports had Egyptian TV repeatedly airing clips of the Innocence of Muslims video trailer. Who was behind them airing that on 9/11 is the question of the day.
So far they seem pretty sure that Al Quaida organized this. It appears they used the film to stir up local protests and then sent in their fighters to turn it violent.

Thanks
I could have sworn that commentators and even someone from the WH said they put out the statement to protect the embassy from “being” attacked. I could be wrong, there’s been so much chatter.
Thanks, trying to get all the facts I can before my liberal step-father calls to harrangue me again. :)
Our cheese-wiz president intends for this to be taking place.
