Chris Stevens, by all accounts, was a devoted, gifted, dedicated and passionate Ambassador.

On Sept. 11, 2012, he was in the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.

Why do I not hear in the news that our Libyan embassy is not in Benghazi, Libya's second largest city, but instead is in the capital and largest city in Libya, Tripoli. The Embassy is the residence of the Ambassador.

The attack on the Benghazi Consulate appears to me to have been an inside job. Stevens had an intimate knowledge of Libya and worked behind the scenes for the revolution there, even when Khadafi was still in power. The attackers knew where the safe house was in Benghazi and knew that Stevens would be in the Consulate, even though the Embassy in Libya is hundreds of miles away, in Tripoli.

There is a whole lot more to this story than meets the eye, and I suspect that Ambassador Stevens may very well be an even bigger hero than we first thought. Maybe even cut in the mold of an American James Bond figure, but betrayed by a Libyan he trusted in Libya.

From what I've read, the Embassy in Tripoli was provided with additional fortifications for the anniversary of 9/11, but the Consulate in Benghazi was not, with the assumption that the Ambassador would be in the Embassy.

Some of the words here are facts, others are assumptions and still others are speculation. but all of it is food for thought.
