The fact is that Stephens was living in Tripoli and visited Benghazi. The people who were assigned to Benghazi were at risk.

I find it interesting that Gregg Starr mentioned that we were in danger of losing the eastern part of Libya. The reality was that the revolution started in eastern Libya. Benghazi was the base for the rebels. We funneled aid to the rebels thru Benghazi. One would think that Benghazi would be a big supporter of the US, not a potential enemy. Of course we now know the rebels were/are affiliated with AQ.

Seems like knowing the affiliation of the people we arm is a slightly-important thing. If we didn’t know their affiliations, why didn’t we know? If we knew their affiliations, why did we support them against an ally in the war on terror?

This goes to the enemy combatant in our White House. This Libyan war was his baby. He needs to answer for it.
