The officials told reporters that when the CIA annex received a call saying the consulate was under attack less than a mile (1.6 kilometers) away, about half a dozen members of a CIA security team tried to get heavy weapons and other assistance from the Libyans.But when none was available, they went ahead with the rescue attempt. The officials said that at no point was the team told to wait.
Hmmmph, it looks like they're referring to Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty et al who just happened to be there and -- against orders -- went on ahead to the aid of the consulate personnel.
I've always wondered where this story came in: Libya Rescue Squad Ambushed; Two Americans Killed; to whom are they referring?
