The ties between the Benghazi violence and the crude anti-Muslim film are still unclear. The sources said the cable, which is still classified, was sparked by the broadcast on Saturday, September 8 by al-Nas, an Egyptian satellite TV network, of what its presenters described as extracts from an English-language film denigrating the Prophet Mohammad...

It did not direct specific measures to upgrade security, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity. However, under standard diplomatic procedures, Egyptian government officials and security forces were notified of U.S. concerns, since host governments are responsible for ensuring the security of foreign diplomatic missions on their soil, the sources said.

MuzzleBreak User ID: 23979587 United States 09/17/2012 10:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is no consulate, embassy, or diplomatic mission in Benghazi according to the state dept's own website. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6383062 [link to www.usembassy.gov] So, what was in Benghazi? And, if they're lying about there being a consulate in Benghazi, surely they're lying about the reason for the attack. During the NATO bombing of Tripoli and Kadaffi's forces, the rebel capital was Benghazi. Stevens was the US representative to the "transitional" Gov't of the "rebels". That's why the US had what was essentially its consulate there, rather than in Tripoli. In his book, "Between Two Ages," Brzezinski wrote: "The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values." MuzzleBreak |
