That's interesting, if true. But, I've also heard that most diplomatic facilities have a variety of visual communications which are triggered under attack. In other words, they weren't only dependent on the drones. Moreover, they had multiple voice calls, both from the ex-SEALS and the Ambassador. When you couple this with whatever drone footage they had, they clearly knew what was going on.
Thankfully, the Sean Smith message to a gaming website is finally being resurrected, found I believe in the Foreign Policy site article, published today.
Also, FINALLY, the scope is pointing where I believe it actually belongs— Hillary Clinton.
