based on this paragraph from the article:

Spokeswoman Marie Harf said the State Department has “directed all of our posts overseas to review their security posture in light of … a release of this report, to ensure that our personnel, our facilities and our interests are prepared for the range of reactions that might occur.”

I think there's some real concern for the safety of U.S. citizens stationed around the world. I'd like to think the State Dept is waiting to get the "we're ready" for the "range of reactions that might occur," from offices around the world. I'm sure the GOP is readying their "Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi" chant for if and when all hell breaks loose when it is made public, however.
