I think this is new:

****************************EXCERPT***************************************

What’s more, two U.S. intelligence officials told The Daily Beast that the intelligence community is currently analyzing an intercept between a Libyan politician whose sympathies are with al Qaeda and the Libyan militia known as the February 17 Brigade—which had been charged with providing local security to the consulate. In the intercept, the Libyan politician apparently asks an officer in the brigade to have his men stand down for a pending attack—another piece of evidence implying the violence was planned in advance.

That's some security arrangement there, 0bozo!

Interesting. This comports with what I read of one of the Americans killed texted just before the ambush to his internet friends that ‘one of their [local] police was taking pictures’ of their building.
