There's another possibility, of course. If the Administration had come out with the information that the attack in Libya was perpetrated by terrorist militia groups rather than just an extremely unruly mob it would have had the effect of revealing any intelligence (and the possible sources for it) we might have had and also compromised any possible military response.

This is completely the product of my own imagination but it's very plausible.
