RE :”If that were anywhere CLOSE to being true, they would have been using this as an excuse from day one!
It just shows that given enough time they can come up with another excuse for their failure.”

One could still argue that it shouldn't have been Stevens call and that someone above him had the job to make sure he was protected, and failed.

Even if Stevens could make the call, why would he? You are an ambassador in the most dangerous part of the planet and you refuse security?

This is just blaming the dead guy who can’t defend himself.

If Stevens had lived I bet he would be furious
