#3 From the Link:

Mr. Turi’s application for a license was rejected in late March 2011. Undeterred, he applied again, this time stating only that he planned to ship arms worth more than $200 million to Qatar. In May 2011, his application was approved. Mr. Turi, in an interview, said that his intent was to get weapons to Qatar and that what “the U.S. government and Qatar allowed from there was between them.”

Perhaps a follow-up call to Stevens provided the... 'way ahead ?'

As some have suggested, did the Turi and DoS gun running effort run counter to the ongoing Klingon mission in Benghazi ?

I love stories about horses, mules, guns, and dogs.
