The death of J. Christopher Stevens, the 52-year old ambassador who was slain September 11 as Islamists attacked a U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, has come to his home in Indian country. Stevens spoke English, Arabic, and French. He had fairly brokered Islamic factional disputes and conducted outreach efforts in Jerusalem, Cairo, Damascus and Riyadh.

He was "widely regarded as one of the most effective American envoys to the Arab world; He was loved by everybody,” Ahmed al-Abbar, a Libyan opposition leader in the revolution that terminated Muhammad Abu al-Gaddafi.

The Chinook Observer, shared statements from Ray Gardner, tribal chairman; To all of the Chinook members and all the friends of the Chinook Nation I am hopeful that you will include the family of Chris Stevens, in your prayers.”

The first American ambassador lost to hostile action in over 30 years. A man of peace, a true credit to his tribe and country. May God be with you John Christopher Stevens, as you with him.

And the media has allowed Obama to sweep it under the rug. Disgusting.

If this is true, might this have been a reason for him to have been targeted by Al Queda?

“Vince Foster, Ron Brown, Chris Stevens”

Well sorta but not quite. Vince and Ron were murdered by design it seems. Chris was left to slaughter thru incompetence on an inter-continual scale.

According to his Wikipedia biography, his mother is a Chinook Indian.

So unlike Elizabeth Warren and Ward Churchill, he wasn't fraudulently claiming Indian status for personal advancement.

SQ, “ If this is true, might this have been a reason for him to have been targeted by Al Queda”

The inquire is spot on. Rab can understand AQ.

Not wanting to believe what is motivating bob.

What he was doing at the moment,

Rab thinks, is not the real stir stick. This fine American was tortured to death in order to send a message to all like him. Thought Control spun out grovel points and sadists are only here to help swill.

Chicago info brief, (To State) don’t refuse a deal,, you can’t refuse.
