How a protest morphed into a deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya -- Decoder

What began as a planned protest against an American movie, turned into a fiery assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. Several people were killed in the attack, including an American ambassador who was something of a local hero. Reuters correspondent Hadeel Al-Shalchi explains the events that led to violence and why officials believe it was planned. (September 14, 2012)

Utter bullshit. The protest was not planned. The movie was released months ago. As the head of Libya himself said, this was a premeditated attack. They knew where the safehouse was. Do regular protesters know where the safe house is? Do they know to attack on three sides like professionals? DO they carry around RPGs in their back pockets? And it's just a coincidence that it took place on 9/11? Please. The media is covering for Obama and the Obama admin is spinning lie after lie. Sickening.

The unspeakable movie is costing lives and protests in many parts of the world. The Internet providers ought to pull it out for the sake of humanity and the sake of peace everywhere. Common sense will prevail.
