From NewYorker.com: "What Was Really Behind the Benghazi Attack"
I think this is more than 24 hours old, but I found it very interesting:

His argument is that the attack was strategic, deliberate, and part of a wider strategy for the Libyan extremist far right to hijack the Libyan revolution, and that the Terry Jones film is being cynically used as a recruiting device.
I don't know jack about Libya but I thought I would pass it on. Also, I wish Terry Jones was named something else, because whenever I see "Terry Jones film" I think of Monty Python.
Romney's response seems to have damaged his candidacy rather extremely, as it should have. But the world apparently has bigger problems.

Last night on Rachel it was said that folks on the ground in the city said there was NO PROTEST. No one has even seen this stupid film. They said these dudes methodically and in matching black outfits stormed the place. Looks like the crazies were being overruled by a real democratic revolution and decided it would not be in their fundamentalist interests to let progress take hold. They are trying to stir up trouble and chaos so they can regain control. Sound familiar??? It's becoming clear that rational progressive minds in EVERY country are now going to have to fight our own extremists within our borders. It's about to suck much worse before it gets better. but thank god we have a cool head in the white house. I hope he asks and allows these governments to at least try to get everyone under control before we have to act. Someone wants to drag us into a war bad. A few someones. careful careful Barack..
