“how many Americans were there the night of the attack.
A source now tells CNN that number was 35, with as many as seven wounded, some seriously.

CNN is only 11 months late....
Reuters report - the day after:
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/09/12/libya-ambassador-battle-idAFL5E8KCMYB20120912
“Having been told to expect 10 Americans and having found 37, Obeidi did not have enough vehicles to break out, despite having one heavy anti-aircraft gun mounted on a pickup truck.”
Hmmm...So Reuters says 37. CNN says 35. 37 - 2 (KIA) = 35.
Maybe the media is getting this straight after all. At least the numbers from 11 months apart are starting to align.
Did this group report to the DDI or DDO? DDI would mean just intel gathering. DDO - an ‘operation’. A big ‘operation’. A really big ‘operation’ with almost 40 people on-site at one time? That would mean hundreds of support people off-site.
And someone thought it was not going to get out?
Good catch. Thanks
