we still don’t know why a State Dept official tweeted from the attack that they were sorry for the video that caused the riot.

To be fair, that tweet was from someone in the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, not Benghazi, where there was a demonstration purportedly about the video.

To be fair, the crowd in Cairo was chanting:

"0bama, 0bama, we're a billion Osamas!"

Not exactly an anti-video chant. More of a Pro-Al-Qaeda chant, doncha think?

Although I have seen unconfirmed reports that it wasn't about the video at all, but rather about demanding the release of the "blind sheik".
