re: #196 goddamnedfrank

Those 19 guys who died in Pakistan were killed by Pakistani police, because that government wasn’t going to just let them overrun the US embassy. The Pakistanis, unlike the Libyans, hadn’t just experienced a massive, country wide revolution, the organs of the State were functioning normally. My point is that looking for dark forces manipulating sentiments or using protests as cover misses what should be an inescapable conclusion, that there was a protest in Benghazi, and it wasn’t just manufactured cynically as cover for a pre planned attack. Muslims, around the world, were genuinely pissed off over that video.

If you look at Charles’ post 192 above, there WAS NO PROTEST or demonstration or anything at the Benghazi consulate that day before the attack. The conclusion is far from inescapable. It is untenable. These guys’ way of protesting was with fire and movement, not signs and shouting.
