Sources: Predator drone was over Benghazi consulate during last hours of attack « Hot Air Headlines

CBS News has been told that, hours after the attack began, an unmanned Predator drone was sent over the U.S. mission in Benghazi, and that the drone and other reconnaissance aircraft apparently observed the final hours of the protracted battle…
