U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday she has "absolutely no information or reason to believe there is any basis" to suggest that U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens believed he was on an al Qaeda hit list.

The remark came after a source familiar with Stevens' thinking told CNN that in the months leading up to his death, Stevens worried about constant security threats in Benghazi and mentioned that his name was on an al Qaeda hit list.

Stevens spoke about a rise in Islamic extremism and al Qaeda's growing presence in Libya, the source said.

The White House, for the first time Thursday, declared the attack that killed Stevens and three other people a terrorist attack.

I don’t know if he was a member of a particular sect of Sufism.

Obama has reduced Hillary to a useless little nub of acquiescence, and I’ve never quite figured out how this happened.

My wild guess - Huma is keeping her in a perpetual happy state. And yes, some drugs are probably involved.
