On the embassy attacks.....

Apart from the fact that Libyan sources do agree that attacks on our embassy and personnel there were premeditated, it occurs to me that the attackers knew that the facility was relatively unguarded, might have been aware that the ambassador was clearly on the side of political reformers in Libya, and they just happened to come together on September 11 in force, including bombs.

Yup, sounds like random rioting to me. Don't we all happen to get enraged at the same time that has political and cultural significance, find several hundred others who are simultaneously angry about the exact same thing and bringing guns and bombs, and we all have the idea to attack and kill someone who opposes our ideology but has nothing to do with the supposed provocation?

It would seem that no one in Foggy Bottom appears to understand the use of logic.
