...Libyan officials spent the night in a manhunt trying to find those responsible for the killings which occurred when an angry and armed mob attacked the diplomatic facility in an apparent protest against an anti-Islamic video created and produced by a group of American Jews.

"It is with profound sadness that I share the news of the death of four American personnel," said U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a statement. The statement identified another of those killed as Sean Smith, a foreign service information management officer.

The circumstances surrounding the death of Ambassador Stevens and Mr. Smith weren't immediately clear. Two Libyan security officials in the capital Tripoli gave conflicting reports of the events that occurred several hundred miles away. One said that the ambassador's convoy had been hit by a rocket-propelled grenade. Another said that the diplomats died of smoke inhalation....

Gadaffi might have been an insane dictator, but as far as I know he respected diplomatic immunity. This event makes me doubt that Libya has changed for the better since another angry mob killed dictator Gaddafi. Libya appears to have become more out of control, lawless and dangerous...

I never made that claim. Instead I believe most Muslims are moderates, who don't support murder including this one.

It would appear that reality has proved you wrong. Again.

Generally, I would agree.....with one small protest; the gov't of Libya was not involved here.

I disagree with killing innocent people, never mind genocide.

The US should insist that the Libyan authorities arrest those responsible.

Since this event happened at an American embassy, the US could argue that US law applies. I would support Libya extraditing the murderers to the US for trial.

It's Probably Nothing

Reuters;
The U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other embassy staff were killed in a rocket attack on their car, a Libyan official said, as they were rushed from a consular building stormed by militants denouncing a U.S.-made film insulting the Prophet Mohammad. Gunmen had attacked and burned the U.S. consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi, a center of last year's uprising against Muammar Gaddafi, late on Tuesday evening, killing one U.S. consular official. The building was evacuated.

The Libyan official said the ambassador, Christopher Stevens, was being driven from the consulate building to a safer location when gunmen opened fire.
Yup, nothing. And this is just coincidence.

Here’s a hint: It begins with “I” and ends with “slam.”
Via Beltway Confidential:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton admitted this morning that the attack on the U.S. embassy in Libya was “not easy” for Americans.
“Today many Americans are asking, indeed I asked myself, ‘How could this happen? How could this happen in a country we helped liberate? In a city we helped save from destruction?’” Clinton asked.

Our little featurette:

A trailer of the film about the Prophet Muhammad that sparked protests in Libya and Egypt on 11 September has been available on Youtube since 1 July.



The 14-minute trailer was posted by "sam bacile", a user said to be based in the US, on 1 and 2 July. Sam Bacile has described himself as an Israeli citizen; however, according to media reports, Sam Bacile is an Israeli national living in the United States who produced the film.

A mob of Libyans burned it down... then the US withdrew all personnel from Libya.

Hence you are wrong about Ghadaffi's respect for diplomats.

What innocent was killed? Lybia has been occupied but the war has hardly begun. If US law was applied they would not even be in Lybia. I'm afraid we'll just have to accept the death as standard international relations.

Under international law the hit was legit. (keep in mind from the illegal war and occupation onward international law favours the indiginous) ( they have a right to retaliate)

The whole of U.S. foreign policy for at least the last two decades is based on the premise that, freed from the control of tyrants, Islamic societies will naturally gravitate to the Western model of the secular nation state.

What's becoming increasingly clear.. in Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Libya, Pakistan.. is democratic, religiously heterogenous states are an anathema to Islam.. they cannot coexist.. and Islam will resort to any violence to expel the Infidel from its midst.

It seems that tyrannies were the only way to maintain a pretense of secularism, contained within its borders.. from the imminent threat of a theocractic rule and Sharia Law.

Once that is achieved however, Islam will turn on itself to expel perceived 'heretics' of competing branches of the religion. History will tell you that if that is achieved Islam will lash out through conversion by conquest.

It's a mess.. and one without an immediate military solution.
