One might have expected that there would have been demonstrations. But as it happens, in the runup to the attack itself, there were not.

If you are uncomfortable with flat facts, would you like a speculation? In Iraq, when a car bombing was imminent, the streets tended to be quiet. Somehow people knew that it was a good time to be elsewhere. This might explain the absence of demonstrations in front of the consulate at that time.

Yeah, flat facts really unnerve me. Then what is up with these pussy attackers that they felt a need to get the seeming target of their assault to a hospital for treatment rather then, lets say, chopping off his head as is their want?
