State Department, military criticized for removing security earlier and not responding quickly enough

Yes, it was preventable. Unfortunately, none of us will know the whole truth of the situation. I believe it will be covered up.

Nope, no one in the Neighborhood, It was at the consulate which have no security whatsoever which is why it was chosen great place for CIA to rub shoulders with the Locals. The closest asset would be COMSIXTHFLT and by the time they got there all would be said and done. Ambassador was acting as his own CIA Chief of Station, Left the Embassy where he had plenty of security with the Marine Security Detachment and went out with a few "Sheep Dipped" CIA Contractors. He knew what he was doing, went to meet some shaky folks and it turned south. You play the Intell Game, You know the risks if you get caught in a bad place.
