There are more than two possible motives in relation to the false YouTube video story on Benghazi: 1) Political protection, 2) Irresponsible ignorance, and the third 3) Intentional provocation of the Muslim world.
My thought was that Obama set this up by removing security to make this into a kidnapping scenario to harvest activism and diversion from his other follies prior to the election.
There were several FR threads on that point shortly after his death. Apparently, he was quite openly gay -- not the kind of person who should have been assigned to an intensely gay-hating Muslim country.
Could Stevens being gay be part of the cover-up?
The answer to many of those questions may be found in his diary.
Thanks. I'd forgotten.
As long as the Administration doesn't try to say Stevens lied to his diary.
They might it worked before. Democrat Josh Steiner -- at the time Treasury chief of staff told Senate Whitewater investigators he had lied to his diary about stuff that contradicted what President Clinton was saying.
I'll never forget the look on Democratic Senator Paul Sarbanes' face. Sarbanes was the ranking member of the Senate Whitewater Committee. It was like.. "Wait a minute.. what? ..no, I gotta accept what he says. But on the other hand this is nuts. Does he really think that I'll believe he lied to his diary? Oh well, Clinton is counting on us so I'll accept that the guy lied to his diary . . . ."
From State department attacks CNN for doing basic journalism. Obama officials hide behind Ambassador Stevens' family to delegitimize reporting that reflects poorly on them "CNN found a seven-page handwritten journal [that stated] 'in the months leading up to his death, the late ambassador worried about what he called the security threats in Benghazi and a rise in Islamic extremism'. CNN also reported that Stevens 'mentioned his name was on an al Qaeda hit list'."
