The State Department denied a Friday request by Breitbart News to obtain a copy of the State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya, the document that contains the answers to the security arrangements at the Benghazi mission at the time of the September 11, 2012 attack. Later that day, Breitbart News filed a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain the document. Usually, FOIA requests are processed within a month.
The Wall Street Journal confirmed Friday that the Libyan security guards provided by Blue Mountain, the British-Libyan private security firm hired by the State Department to provide security at the American mission in Benghazi, were unarmed:
Most likely a bias source- but no unbiased source(outside the WSJ on that one subject of marines or no marines on location) wishes to touch this story apparently...
In her press briefing on Thursday, State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland said the American security presence inside the mission perimeter was "robust." However, she declined to reveal how large that presence was at the time of the attack, whether they were armed and authorized to carry ammunition, and whether they were provided as subcontractors by the British security firm hired to secure Benghazi or if they were independently hired by the State Department.

That link won't be enough! These guys will want news stories from a dozen different sources, all signed in blood.
They often remind me of a bully at the playground. They draw a line in the sand with their shoe and DARE the bullied kid who has gotten fed up, to step over the line. When the fed up kid actually steps over the line, the bully then puts a chip on his shoulder and DARES the fed up kid to knock it off. The fed up kid knocks it off and then the bully tells him it's lucky for him that he has on his best clothes.
