re: #97 Eventual Carrion

Right, a few took advantage of the situation. They knew a protest would be happening there (as there were many around the world for the reason of the movie).

It seems there might not have even been a protest to take advantage of.
Video From Benghazi Consulate Shows Organized Attack

In addition to the footage from the consulate cameras, the U.S. government is also poring over video taken from an overhead U.S. surveillance drone that arrived for the final hour of the night battle at the consulate compound and nearby annex.

Video from the compound’s cameras debunk the initial line from the Obama administration that there was a protest in front of the consulate on the night of the attacks, according to one of the U.S. intelligence officials who has seen the footage, and a senior Obama administration official familiar with what they show.

The attackers may have posed as protesters to buy themselves a bit of time during the attack but there may not have been an actual protest occurring at the time.
