WASHINGTON — The attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans has dealt the Central Intelligence Agency a major setback in its intelligence-gathering efforts at a time of increasing instability in the North African nation.
Among the more than two dozen American personnel evacuated from the city after the assault on the American mission and a nearby annex were about a dozen C.I.A. operatives and contractors, who played a crucial role in conducting surveillance and collecting information on an array of armed militant groups in and around the city.

H/T to Drudge.
Obama had three days Notice
So it’s the CIA ‘s fault now? Normally, I wouldn’t make that assumption of passing blame if the source wasn’t the NYT.
Guess that could be it.
Guess the CIA figured the Manpads would show up there or be talked about which they could intercept the talking.
Congress was warned about Libya last month
Libyan president: 'No doubt' attack 'preplanned' (Magariaf on Face the Nation)
"It was planned, definitely. It was planned by foreigners, by people who entered the country a few months ago. And they were planning this criminal act since their arrival," Magariaf said.
Source: Slain ambassador Stevens said he was on al Qaeda list
WASHINGTON - In the months leading up to his death, Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, worried about constant security threats in Benghazi and mentioned that his name was on an al Qaeda hit list, a source familiar with his thinking told CNN.
fyi
SO WHY DID WE SEND THE AMBASSADOR TO VISIT ON SUCH A DELICATE DATE.
Only answer I have is that he was going for a Prize ....of some kind....
But as I told my Son ....he was likely lured there by the enormity of that prize.
See #8.
Interesting - placemark for reading tomorrow.
That is an excellent hypothesis. More likely than my rank suspicions I’m sure. I just can’t shake the feeling that he was set up. I have nothing to support the ‘why’ of that.
“A version of this article appeared in print on September 24, 2012, on page A1 of the New York edition with the headline: ATTACK IN LIBYA WAS MAJOR BLOW TO C.I.A. EFFORTS.”
Not good for Barry, Rice or Hillary and all of the other liars.
Same deal.....only fewer folks there for the great prize...in Libya.
We were trying to keep a low profile.....
SO WHY DID THE AMBASSADOR GO THERE....FOR WHAT?
NATIONAL SECURITY PROBABLY DICTATES THAT THE QUESTION WON'T GET ANSWERED.
IMHO...
He was an unwitting sacrifice. Reports that he was homosexual made the recruitment for and ferocity of the attacks easy to generate. The video was all set up by nwo leftists not traceable to the WH. The attack planning, as well as planning for the dozens of follow-on attacks, was all done by jihadists who communicate with the nwo leftists. This was a false flag operation.
It should be a warning to homosexuals that the Statist/Leftist/NWO “real powers” tolerate them now while they assist in the decline of American hegemony. If leftists succeed in actually transforming American into their vision - homosexuals can expect the same treatment they receive under all hard-line communist or statist nations (those like Communist China, the USSR, North Korea, Nazi Germany, etc.). Leftists and Statists consider everyone only useful tools for their political takeovers.
Shutting down here....be back tomorrow.
This is very huge. I’ve been reading obsessively about it since day 1 and I still don’t know anything, really. All I have are questions, here are some.
“Sensitiive documents” were stolen. What were they?
Why did all the CIA assets make it out alive and Stevens didn’t?
Why was here there instead of in Tripoli?
Why was the “security” at the consulate connected to the Muslim Brotherhood?
Why was Stevens 100% unprotected?
Why did he appear to be targeted?
Why did the State Department not warn the diplomats in Libya even though they had 48 hours warning?
Why did the administration lie and say it was a “movie protest” that got out of hand?
What is the movie connection - who really made it, who dubbed it, and why are Hitlery and 0bastard beating it like a drum?
Why did Hitlery and 0 sleep through the night and not attend to this?
Was Stevens a Sufi Muslim?
Oh, and was that journal really his? Only seven pages of writing in it, supposedly, and handwritten. What else did it say? Why did it not burn up or get stolen, if it was really his?
Ah yes a key man. The graveyards are full of key men.
