Here we have Ethan Chorin writing in the Slimes on September 13, 2012. Chorin and a Mass General doc, Thomas Burke, were in Benghazi on a mission to assist Libyan doctors in establishing an emergency room at the Benghazi Medical Center:
On Tuesday night, even as the men who would kill him were closing in, Ambassador Stevens told us by phone how happy he was that the project was nearing fruition. He told us it was important to show our governments support for such initiatives, and we made plans to meet with the medical centers director general, Dr. Fathi al-Jehani, at the hospital the next morning. Dr. Jehani himself had been a target of violence for his forward-thinking views.About half an hour later, I called the ambassadors security detail to discuss the visit, only to hear the words weve got a problem here with an alarming expletive inserted. The line went dead. And we were left to listen helplessly as the sounds of distant violence carried across the city to our hotel room a long rocket-propelled grenade volley, and machine-gun fire that continued for the better part of an hour.
Ambassador Stevens arrived after midnight at Benghazi Medical Center, where we were to have met. Its emergency room staff, which included Libyan expatriates who had returned from well-paid jobs abroad, worked for 45 minutes to try to resuscitate him. It was no use.
So there it was two days after the fact in the Progressive New York Times: incontrovertible evidence Benghazi was a terrorist attack and not a popular uprising about a movie.
Hillary Clinton is THE original source of the 'video did it' excuse for Benghazi, Cairo and all the rest of the embassy riots around the world. Hillary did it!
US Embassy in Cairo quietly deletes its we stand by our condemnation tweet; Update: More deleted tweets!
These tweets happened at least six hours and as much as 12 hours before the attack in Benghazi.
