However, in the case of Lybia is it a country that has the capability of protecting a facility? Does the presence of terrorist-related groups make that abundantly clear?

We should not have had a mission in Benghazi for sure. The place was a hotbed of AQ along with a wild west environment that had weapons in the hands of everyone. It was a death trap, which is why the US was the last flag standing.

Given the events and incidents leading up to the attack, it was criminal to put our people in such a position. Tripoli may be better in terms of host government capabilities and responsiveness.
