Would they create the Egyptian riots as cover and already have their video excuse in the bag waiting for this kidnapping? They would then have a reason to negotiate for the Blind sheik.

Sure. They created the overthrow of Egypt so a mob riot at the Cairo embassy a year later would be easy.

Or, the riot in Cairo could have been a “found object” that they jumped on.

In Cairo, the blind sheik was the object of the protest but lickety-split the Administration contrived the video explanation. Start there and ask why?

Maybe they were trying to set up Romney—??

But I don’t know why they did it, just that they did start lying about a video. It does look suspicious and begins to resemble the way the KGB used to run ops in Africa back in the day.

A lot of those were ineptly executed too. Almost laughable.
