...it is doubtful that John McCain or Lindsey Graham or anyone else knew?

As I recall, there were demonstrations in Egypt and other countries at the same time because of the anti-Muslim film. Why should they have thought the ones in Libya were different?

These folks that were killed were CIA-connected. The CIA was calling the shots, so to speak. Since 9/11, the CIA is a very powerful part of the US Government.
