Libya was a country in revolution. It's NOT stable. Weapons are everywhere. Anti-American Al Quaeda activity is very high. It's a 'moral equivalant of combat' posting for State Dept staff.

excellent point cbelt - also important to remember that Amb. Stevens throughout his distinguished diplomatic career rejected some of the security measures that were recommended for him because he wanted fewer obstacles between himself and the people with whom he hoped to negotiate and make peace. He certainly knew that serving in Libya and traveling to less secure places like Benghazi was very risky, and he undertook that risk with the goal of service to his country.
All the more reason that attempts to politicize his death and use it to score points against the President who assigned him to that dangerous task are offensive.
