It smells to high heaven. To me it sounds like an "October Surprise" event that happened too early.
Of course it would have to be done by some braindead person being paid a lot of money to do it.
It would require someone with money and influence in the middle east to bring it to the attention of the Egyptian TV station.

It happened on 9/11 and someone pointed out the name that kept being said was "Sam Bacile". Or mister Bacile or M. Bacile or said fast imbecile.

I am just a dumb old South Arkansas man, but something stinks here.

Also how did the terrorists know the location of the safe house?

But then I never believed that the Iranian Hostage thing was just Iranian Ayatolla's acting out. I always thought that is was some Reaganites at work.

1. Everyone will say we need to adjust our tinfoil hats but I agree with this post.

6. My thinking exactly - and we all know who has more money

than he has sense!

2. It was non-union.

Let that be a lesson.

3. Wow, thanks for postin

That does stink BAD! There's been some MONEY and planning behind this. I hope they keep following the money.

4. I'm wondering about the Romney campaign

involvement. His press release was sent in ONE MINUTE after SoS Clinton's statement was sent to the press. Clearly it was discussed and written in the hours prior to that.

Who was informing him of events to the point that he felt comfortable speaking out? I do NOT believe they spoke out based on TV reporting or a Twitter feed.

I think this could easily be something intended as an October surprise to help Romney get elected. It was done early because of the dismal RNC and polls afterwards.

I believe Romney and his friends are rich enough and pathological enough to do this. Romney is a psychopath. That is what we saw on his face at the press conference.

5. I agree with you that something stinks...

actually, I thought Reagan/Carter the moment I saw the breaking news on Rachel's show. It's just too convenient.

7. Way too convenient.

Might have backfired though.

8. who is this guy and who is in his network? Steve Klein

http://www.salon.com/2012/09/14/steve_kleins_anti_muslim_crusade/

Klein is a right-wing extremist who emerged from the same axis of Islamophobia that produced Anders Behring Breivik and which takes inspiration from the writings of Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, and Daniel Pipes.

It appears Klein (or someone who shares his name and views) is an enthusiastic commenter on Geller’s website, Atlas Shrugged, where he recently complained about Mitt Romney’s “support for a Muslim state in Israel’s Heartland.” In July 2011, Spencer’s website, Jihad Watch, promoted a rally Klein organized alongside the anti-Muslim Coptic extremist Joseph Nasrallah to demand the firing of LA County Sheriff Lee Baca, whom they painted as a dupe for Hamas.

Klein is also closely affiliated with the Christian right in California, organizing resentment against all the usual targets — Muslims, homosexuals, feminists, and even Mormons. He is a board member and founder of a group called Courageous Christians United, which promotes anti-Mormon, anti-Catholic and anti-Muslim literature (including the work of Robert Spencer) on its website. In 2002, Klein ran for the California Insurance Commissioner under the American Independent Party, an extremist fringe party linked to the militia movement, garnering a piddling 2 percent of the vote.

Klein has been closely affiliated with the Church at Kaweah, an extreme evangelical church located 70 miles southeast of Fresno that serves as a nexus of neo-Confederate, Christian Reconstructionist, and militia movement elements. The Southern Poverty Law Center produced a report on Kaweah this spring that noted Klein’s long record of activist against Muslims:
