This may be true, or it may be a bunch of folks saying: "Please don't stop giving us money, and please don't bomb us in retaliation." If their banners are true, hopefully they will identify the terrorists who carried this attack through so they can be dealt with, either by the Libyan government, or by us, through (c)overt means.

I think it's probably true and I also think it's risky for these people to be showing their support for the U.S.

Considering that people were fighting against the people who attacked hte embassy and then carried the body of the US official to the hospital, they are not all against us.

That's the story, anyway. We'll see if that narrative holds up under investigation.

 

[Blackhawk2001]

Just in case folks here misunderstand my feelings about this, I don't doubt that there are folks who support us, just like I know there are lots of French folks who remember us with love for our contributions in freeing them from the Nazis, but those folks aren't the ones who are making decisions and they aren't preventing the terrorists from carrying through their plans, so what good are they doing?

Maybe they were actually terrorists, carrying the bodies in a plea to keep foreign aid money.

I've been hearing on the radio all afternoon that the Libyan ambassador was raped before being torture-murdered by Al-Qaeda. Went online and it is supposedly being reported by a Lebanese news agency. The word yesterday was that he died in a Libyan hospital of the effects of smoke inhalation. I wonder if someone is trying to fan the flames and provoke a reaction, or if it's a propaganda effort by the perps. The ambassador was missing for six hours before being found, supposedly, so I wonder which story is true.

From our vantage point, it is easy to believe that virtually all folks living in Libya, Egypt, Yemen, or what have you are USA-hating, murderous, islamic radicals. This sort of demonstration goes to show you there are still decent people amongs the murderers. I'm praying that they're the majority--the vast majority and they can wrest control over the evil ones.

I'm confused as I saw pictures of his body being posed with in the streets and
it did not look like they were trying to render aid.......... if there was any life in him at that point I would be shocked.

There is a definite disconnect between the story we were told yesterday, that the Ambassador died of smoke inhalation and was rescued by citizens of Benghazi, and this story in the Lebanese press stating he was raped and tortured before dying.

Doubtful that he was raped and tortured. With such a coveted prize, why not videotape him, or better yet keep him as a hostage?

 

[IncendiaryGunner]

I believe Tayyar News Service in Lebanon first reported that he was "raped" - but it has not yet been confirmed by other outlets.

Hence my pondering whether this was put out in the foreign language press to further humiliate the U.S. If so, we should embark on another world punishment tour (covert) and send the smirking bastards to meet Allah - ball-less.

Regardless of the validity of the pictures and article all foreign aid must be stopped. Not in retaliation for the extremists but for the good of our own country. We have too many uses for that money here at home....perhaps paying down the National Deficit...call me crazy. We have vets living in boxes, orphaned children in homes, and countless other issues.

THIS, I can agree with

Anyone notice how good most of those signs look? How many Libyans do you think can read and write English? Did the Libyan government make those signs and stage this event in order to protect the cash flow? Just wonderin'.

Libya has one of the highest literacy rates in the middle east. I would imagine in large populated areas, those that speak and write English can easily be found

I;d like to see how big that "crowd" really is, the trick is to take all closeups.
