#14  Died by smoke inhalation at the safe-house?

Technically, it was a "safe room". even by the fact-finding commission's own report, it was a half-assed setup.

#11  CrazyFool, who are we as a culture to judge either way. All cultures are valid, all are equal.

Stevens I believe was sodomized as well. Now I don't know about Eleanor and her friends at the Daily Beast, but I don't think even jihadists would sodomize a corpse.

#9  During the uprising jihadists were called rebels. After the embassy attack terrorists were called rioters. Perhaps, now itÂ’s fitting murderers be called vandals.

#8  1st rule of holes: when in a hole stop digging.

Problem here, she doesn't realize she is in a hole. Delusional.

#7  ...there are still decent ones out there by the thousands who unfortunately are 'low information' types who still think its the party of Truman rather than Lenin. They're starting to become the great 'die off', so the party needs 10 million more to make up the difference in the shame elections. Looks like some House Trunks are going to help them.

#6  Is there any leftist/Democrat anywhere that does not deserve the title of "Despicable"?

I can remember the days of Scoop Jackson and Daniel Moynihan. I didn't agree with everything they said but I could respect them and agreed occasionally. Today I can not think of a single one.

#5  The Bush and Reagan bashing continues.

Then there was the evil republican, President William McKinley who, back in '89, sent the U.S.S. Maine to Cuba. Many died there as well.

#4  Between 125 and 150 gunmen, "some wearing the Afghan-style tunics favored by Islamic militants," are reported to have participated in the assault. Some had their faces covered and wore flak jackets.The Weapons they used during the attack on the embassy included rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), hand grenades, AK-47 and FN F2000 NATO assault rifles, diesel canisters, mortars, and heavy machine guns and artillery mounted on gun trucks.

If we shared Eleanor Clift's warped perspective we would assume that CIA contractors, Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty also died on the roof of the CIA annex after "inhaling" mortar rounds and sucking down a few RPG rocket blasts.

#3  The prime psychological benefit of being a leftard (or any other kind of 'tard) is never have to say "sorry, I was wrong".

#1  You go, girl! When I'm old and senile, I won't back down either (cue Tom Petty music), no matter what those young whippersnappers say.

A less charitable interpretation is that this lawyerly parsing over the ambassador not being murdered in the 'murdered' sense of murdered is only an attempt to score political points and to keep The Narrative from being contaminated with actual events. In which case, you are evil.
