“behind the curve”?
Here’s my preliminary intel report on the attack that I posted on the morning after:

You are correct that the story is much bigger than Libya and will play out over the next couple of months.
This is a completely different account from what I saw on Fox last night. Stevens was at the compound when the attack began. He was meeting with a dignitary from Turkey and walked him to the gate.
“Ambassador Stevens with two Marine guards and a visiting USAF communication specialist decided to drive to the consulate to either manage the situation or help evacuate to a nearby safe house. The consulate security was composed of Libyan nationals whom were advised of the travel of Stevens.
It appears that a Libyan security guard was in league with the Shaykh Omar Abdulrahman Brigades and advised them on the ambush timing.
As the ambassador’s vehicle neared the consulate it was hit with an RPG and disabled. Steven’s and the other three then engaged a running gunfight until they could get to the consulate.”
