CNN, well, more specifically Anderson Cooper, acts as if they just found a little pink fuzzy diary with a little latch key in the subway, instead of a Diplomat’s Journal found at the scene of his murder.   Instead of turning the journal over to investigators, the FBI or the CIA, CNN uses the information within the journal to frame their reporting and then contacts the family to notify of the finding.

(Via WallStreetJournal) CNN obtained a personal journal that belonged to the slain American ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, and broadcast reports based on its contents against the wishes of the Stevens family, according to relatives and State Department officials who were asked to intervene by the family.

CNN obtained the journal in Benghazi, where Mr. Stevens and three other Americans were killed in an attack by militants on the American consulate in the city on Sept. 11. It wasn’t clear exactly how CNN obtained the ambassador’s writings. (more…)

Thank you to all the bloggers who have linked to, and shared, the Heroic story of Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods.  Early this morning Fran Townsend with CNN penned a more honest account of what happened in Benghazi.   It took over a week, but perhaps now the TRUTH will come out…..

Former Navy SEALs died after coming to the aid of others – (CNN) — Two former Navy SEALs who were among four Americans killed last week in an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, died after rushing to the aid of their colleagues, according to sources familiar with the incident.

Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were in Benghazi as part of a security contractor force.

On September 11, they were ensconced in the safety of an annex location in another part of the city when they got word that the main consulate building was under fire and the diplomats there — with an armed force of only nine people — were overwhelmed by the deteriorating situation. (more…)

I’m calling bullsh!t on this one.   Supposedly a “Senior State Department Official” claims the attack on the consulate was so substantive that even a full marine detachment could not have stopped the terrorists.   Yeah, right…..  sounds to me like CNN better start coughing up names of these State Dept. creeps.  

What a jackass thing to say just to protect President Barack O’Hillary….

(CNN) Amid accusations from Libyans and leading senators on Capitol Hill that the U.S. diplomatic office in Benghazi, Libya, was not adequately protected, top State Department officials offered the agency’s most vigorous defense yet of security measures taken to fortify the post in the months before last week’s deadly attack on the compound.

The sources, who spoke on the condition they only be identified as senior State Department officials because of the sensitive nature of the information, agreed to speak to CNN to respond to claims the United States did not respond to warnings about the dangerous conditions in Benghazi. (more…)

(CBS News) BENGHAZI – Ahmed Boukhatala didn’t look like a wanted man, sipping mango juice across the table from me in a Benghazi hotel.  Dressed in a crisp white robe, a long grey beard on his face, Boukhatala was happy to share his fundamentalist Islamic beliefs.

He calmly denied having anything to do with the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate which killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

“But the President himself, Mohammed Magariaf, told us you were one of the prime suspects,” I told him.

He just smiled.   “If that’s what the President is saying,” replied Boukhatala, “Then he should come to my house and arrest me.”

But that’s something government security forces dare not do. (more…)

Will the real life story of incredible bravery, and the extreme courage of warriors Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods be lost just because of Machiavellian politics ?

Updates as more information is coming through.  Even if the true story of their heroism casts an uncomfortable light of truth upon the lies told by President Obama and his administration we will tell it.   They deserve it.

President Obama implied, quite intentionally, in his Weekly Address that Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were part of Ambassador Christopher Steven’s security detail:

“Glen and Tyrone had each served America as Navy SEALs for many years, before continuing their service providing security for our diplomats in Libya. They died as they lived their lives — defending their fellow Americans, and advancing the values that all of us hold dear.

-President Obama (Weekly address)

Sounds good, the only problem is this statement is a total fabrication.   It was worded to imply Ambassador Stevens had more security than actually existed.   Yes, they were both former Navy SEAL’s, but neither Tyrone nor Glen were part of the Ambassadors official security detail. (more…)

Don’t be distracted, lulled into complacency, or frustrated by the willful ignorance of the media majority to avoid the painful questioning.    The issues comprised by the visible and public killing of our American Ambassador, and three other patriots in Libya are a BIG EFFEN’ DEAL.   They deserve better.

Glen Doherty    –     Tyrone Woods    –    Sean Smith

There is an increasing probability Ambassador Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty and Sean Smith were killed by the very “Rebels” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton supplied with money and arms.   Indeed, as more details emerge the actual weapons used to kill these Americans might have been provided by the very NATO support operation Secretary Clinton coordinated.

Further, in attempting to obfuscate the willful neglect in President Obama’s  Weekly Address last week, he claimed the two Navy Seals, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, were part of ambassador’s stevens security detail.   THIS IS A LIE.  (more…)

Brutally obvious……

(Reuters) – British author Salman Rushdie, who lived in hiding for nine years under a death sentence from Iran’s supreme leader, said in an interview published on Thursday that something had gone wrong at the heart of Islam.

Rushdie told Le Monde newspaper that his years fleeing the 1989 fatwa from Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini had forced him to pay close attention to a radicalization of the Muslim world.

“Something has gone wrong at the heart of Islam. It is quite recent. I remember when I was young, many cities in the Muslim world were cosmopolitan cities with a lot of culture,” he said in an interview published in French.

“For me, it is a tragedy that this culture has regressed to this point, like a self-inflicted wound. The Islam in which I grew up was open, influenced by Sufism and Hinduism, and not like the one which is spreading rapidly at the moment.” (more…)

I’m not saying that all Libyan’s are radical bloodthirsty Islamists.  Indeed most of the Western Libyan citizenry (Tripoli areas) are very friendly to European and American sentiments.

However, conversely I do not believe that radicalized Jihadists are an insignificant minority.   In Southern, Central and Eastern Libya (Benghazi area) the Sharia Compliant Islamist ideology represents the primary view. (more…)

• He is now 53-years old……
• He was a libyan army trained fighter in the 1980’s…..
• He was part of Gaddafi’s Terror Network mid/late 1980’s…….
• He travelled to Afghanistan to fight with OBL and the Mujahadeen/Taliban in the 90’s….
• He was captured in Pakistan by us in 2002…..
• He was held at GITMO until released in 2007….
• He was sent back to Libya for the ‘then friendly’ (anti-terror) Gaddaffi to monitor…..
• He formed the ‘Darnah Brigade’, and in 2011 fought as a “Benghazi Rebel” to overthrow Gaddaffi….
• He probably organized, coordinated, and participated in the killing of US Ambassador Stevens 2012

(Read His GITMO File)  In the early 80’s he -and his cohorts- were our enemy (he was in his early twenties); then in the late 80’s with the Mujahadeen he became an ally (early thirties); then when the Mujahadeen evolved to the Taliban 90’s he became our enemy again (late thirties);  In 2002 he became our prisoner (early forties), in 2007 we released him (45 years old), in 2011 he became an ally against Gadaffi (fifties), in 2012 he killed our ambassador.

The State Department and White House both claim they had “no actionable intelligence” prior to the Benghazi attack that killed Ambassador Stevens and the numerous attacks on US embassies around the Middle East.

They are Flat Out Lying

We knew early on they were not being truthful, it was quite simply obvious.  Now, as the days continue to pass, more and more information is coming out to prove with specificity the security aparatus just failed miserably.   What is sickening to witness is how the Legacy Media (sans Fox and the Web)  are protecting President Obama and avoiding the TRUTH.

The Libyan President has admitted to warning our US officials about the potential for violent attacks on our interests in his country around the date Sept. 11th, yet the administration and the State Department did nothing.   Nothing.

Now, as predicted, information is coming out about the specific al-Qaeda connections with AQIM affiliated factions involved. (more…)
