The President didn't want to put boots on the ground in Libya. So, the CIA went in to work its "magic." The CIA was probably using that place to question Qaddafi supporters/terrorists and the Libyans knew of this (this goes back to the list of Libyans that were working with US leaked by Issa and the article below talking about finding shoulder-fired missiles).

I had read somewhere that the house that Stevens was at was a temporary "consulate." The CIA annex was about a mile away. So, if they were indeed trying to free detainees, they hit the wrong building.
