How many times have you heard the truism that in modern-day America
the cover-up is often as troubling as the crime? That is becoming quite
apparent in the case of the death of J. Christopher Stevens, the former U.S. ambassador to Libya.
Stevens and three State Department employees were murdered in the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last month, on September 11th. About an hour before the murders, the ambassador, who usually resides in the U.S. embassy in Tripoli but was visiting local officials and staying at the consulate
in Benghazi, had just completed dinner there with a colleague, whom he
personally walked to the front gate of the compound. In the next three
hours, hundreds of persons assaulted the virtually defenseless compound
and set it afire.
