CNN Admits Finding Slain Ambassador’s Personal Journal in Libya…And Using it for ‘Tips’
On Friday night, Anderson Cooper revealed on his show that CNN used Ambassador Christopher Stevens’ personal journal as a source in its reporting after the deadly attack that killed Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya.
Discussing when, specifically, the information was used, Cooper said:
On Wednesday of this week, we reported that a source familiar with Ambassador Stevens’ thinking said in the months before his death, Ambassador Stevens talked about being worried about what he called the never-ending security threats in Benghazi.
We also reported that the ambassador specifically mentioned the rise in Islamic extremism, the growing Al Qaeda presence in Libya and said he was on an Al Qaeda hit list. The information for that report, like all of CNN’s reporting, was carefully vetted. Some of that information was found in a personal journal of Ambassador Stevens in his handwriting.
We came upon the journal through our reporting and notified the family. At their request, we returned that journal to them. We reported what we found newsworthy in the ambassador’s writings… [Emphasis added]
Here is video of Cooper’s admission, via Mediaite:
Though Cooper appears to relay the information as nothing more than a side note, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that there is much more to the story.
Not only did CNN fail to mention for days the fact that it apparently used the personal journal of a murdered ambassador as a source, Stevens’ family reportedly asked CNN not to discuss the journal or its contents until they had a chance to review it.
Furthermore, Philippe Reines, a senior adviser to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, disputes CNN’s assertion that the network contacted the family within hours of finding the journal and readily agreed to return it. Apparently it took several attempts to get CNN to agree to hand over the private information.
State Department spokesman Philippe Reines called CNN’s actions “indefensible.”
Early Saturday morning, CNN published a story with more information on the journal, and how exactly it came into the network’s possession.
The network explains:
Four days after he was killed, CNN found a journal belonging to late U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens. The journal was found on the floor of the largely unsecured consulate compound where he was fatally wounded.
CNN notified Stevens’ family about the journal within hours after it was discovered and at the family’s request provided it to them via a third party.
The journal consists of just seven pages of handwriting in a hard-bound book.
For CNN, the ambassador’s writings served as tips about the situation in Libya, and in Benghazi in particular. CNN took the newsworthy tips and corroborated them with other sources.

Progressivism is not about superiority, it is about equality. Our favorite lines from the pledge of allegence are “One Nation Under God With Liberty and Justice For All”. CNN made a horrific mistake, whoever was responsible should resign at once. Candy Crowley should also step down from being a moderator, George Stephanopolis can be her replacement as a moderator.

Posted on September 22, 2012 at 8:30pmI wonder what CNN tore out of the journal that wasn’t favorable to the Obama minionstration. Of course they copied it, but what else did these treasonous liars do?They knowingly and freely chose to corrupt and steal evidence from a crime scene. A terror attack took place and CNN didn’t think twice about doing this? The media isn’t untouchable legally.People need to be arrested at CNN and charged with interfering with a terror attack and federal investigation. CNN should go off the air and have their FCC licensing pulled for airing their own admission of corrupting a crime scene and investigation. If there was any justice left in this society,CNN should be DONE.

If the Obama people had gotten to it first we would still be getting the line about the video being the underlying cause of his death, without reference to the alqaeda fatwa calling for his assasination.

Posted on September 22, 2012 at 9:33pmCould care less about CNN, the position they took with the journal
& the position they put themselves in.
it is their cross to bear-
who knows what the other “elite” media would have done ?
It’s a ratings war, it’s a revenue war….NO stone left unturned.
Nothing about these nitwit networks surprise us, anymore.
That said, what’s done is done,
we know for sure,
by proof of the good Ambassador’s own writing
that he feared for his safety & those protecting him.
This is the EXACT antithesis
of what Hillary & Oblameo wanted us to believe.
That sorrowful, hang-dog look they displayed,
at the White House denouncing the crime
was not for those fallen
but out of guilt & coverup for their OWN failure-
to secure the Ambassador & his staff.
Heads should ROLL on this-
yes, Hillary’s leaving the post,
none of the career State Dept, employees,
in DC or foreign posts can stand her-
she still needs to be held accountable.
The other head that must ROLL is Obama’s-
the buck stops at the top,
he & Hillary are complicit & complacent in this attack
& shrugging blame off on the video.
UNBELIEVABLE !
Ever since, George Bush left,
no one dare utter the word, “Terrorism”
whether home or abroad.
Obama said, “America can absorb another terrorist attack”
& yet, he’s characterized every attack to some other fault…word games !
I’m glad the journal & CNN exposed the Ambassador’s truth
which in turn
CONFIRMED Hillary & Obama’s blatant lies

Liberty and Justice under God is available for all who make the right choices. He sets before us life or death, blessings or curses. God admonishes us to choose life that we might live. Oddly enough there are many who are choosing death out of indifference and even defiance towards God.
Because of this, there is NO equality of outcome.
So if “progressivism is about equality”, it is not going to happen.
Even a solvent government is not going to buy you out of the spiritual law of sin and death in this world.
Progressivism is just another false god in this world that will multiply your sorrows.
There is a way that seems right to man, but in the end, it is the way of death (separation from God).

So AFTER Hussein and Hillary announced their determination to find those responsible, CNN is able to waltz into the scene of the crime and steal vital evidence.
Sounds like CNN is not the only one that needs investigating.

They then pretended to be concerned about getting it to the family of the ambassador and asked them if they could publish its contents. The family said NO. CNN has decided to do what they want with the contents. This is outrageous! CNN should be punished for this direct invasion of privacy and be sued by the family of the ambassador. I hope they sue and win millions! The press has become intrusive, invasive, and they shouldn’t get away with it!

Posted on September 23, 2012 at 11:51amYou have to wonder what else the CNN “reporters” found at the scene and when they are going to reveal that. Does anyone else think it strange that the ambassador just happened to be wandering around with his personal diary with him? How secure is the crime scene that reporters just wander in and pick through things and take what they want? Who else wandered into the scene and took things–could Wikileaks have been on the scene, the non-aggressive(according to the Whitewash House and the Dept of Distaste) Muslim Brotherhood? And now the “intelligentsia” in the Whitewash House are going to send 1/3 of the Gitmo detainees back to their country of origin? Did they learn nothing from the Benghazi attack or the various demonstrations around the Muslim world? They weren’t chanting “Gitmo! Gitmo!” It is important to note that the Dept of Injustice in the statement regarding the Blind Sheik said that he would not be released, but they were studying his possible “transfer” to Egypt due to his age and health—hmm, where have we heard that before??!!

Posted on September 24, 2012 at 8:32amYou don’t seem to realize the Obama administration has been editing and controlling our news, and dictating what can or cannot be reported. For CNN to report this to the public gives one huge smack to the Obama administration and the lies Obama has been feeding the public. Obama and Clinton have been covering up the facts, including the fact our Marines were disarmed — their ammo was taken away. Our Embassy personnel AND the Ambassadors have reported repeatedly of the growing threats and Obama did absolutely nothing to ensure their safety. Reporters have been fired for refusing to edit their copy per Obama’s demands, and all copy has to be sent to Obama before it’s given to the public. It appears Huma is also doing some editing. It’s pretty cheesy editing. So, before you people demand the FBI to “investigate” the media, learn first what is really going on.

The national security breach after the attack was leaving his journal to be found be ANYONE including our enemies. What if that journal contained very sensitive notes, names and secret infromation?? Just left on the floor for CNN to Find.
You are getting caught in the spin…Don’t look at the fact that we’ve left Top Secret information laying around after we let 4 Americans die on 9/11/12.

Who knows what to believe? Daily, we learn what we believe are facts only to learn that facts are often baloney. For example, what was initially called a “spontaneous” attack in Libya seems to no longer be considered a “spontaneous” attack in Libya. Is it not clear partisan, politics includes framing the debate? Sadly, the finger-prints are often found within both parties. However, at this time, it maybe the lack of transparency coming from the White House.

I mean, if he wouldn’t meet with Israel’s Netanyahu, why would he pay attention to any possible reports or terror threats from Libya???Everyone faulted Bush for not paying attention to intel in August of 2001, but at least he acted like a President when the event occurred. If Obama failed to pay attention to any reports from CIA or any governmental agency, then he’s done far worse than Bush did. With all we’ve seen with regard to terror, you’d think our embassies would have been prepared with more security on the 9-11 anniversary, just as Bush did throughout his Presidency.This attack and killing of an American ambassador in Libya belongs to Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton. If the CIA failed, then top CIA brass had better prepare themselves to be marched into Senate hearings and take the fall for their worthless boss, Obama.

Posted on September 22, 2012 at 10:48pmI don’t see a difference between hacking voice mails and stealing a diary. What’s the difference? Other than the owners of the voice mails weren’t CIA & Navy Seals murdered by terrorists in a country we liberated and gave a billion $ to?
Oh, and the voice mails were genuine. The diary was probably planted. Anyone really believe Stevens kept a written diary which he took with him to the most dangerous place in a dangerous country, that it survived the fire and the ransack by terrorists who were looking for papers?

1. A man was sodomized and murdered, 3 others were killed, you don’t consider those to be crimes?
2. Doesn’t matter when it was found, 1 day later, 6 days later, it didn’t belong to them, plus it is evidence that could be used to convict.
3. I know the USSR DOESN’t exist anymore, I was referring to the “Red Menace” which you are, obviously, too stupid to understand.

Posted on September 23, 2012 at 9:33amLet’s all play-
Oblameo & Hillary’s sleight-of-hand “Shell” game-
nobody does it better,
i.e. Vince Foster, Whitewater, Lewinsky, Solyndra, on & on & on.
Yes, CNN has some “splainin” to do
but watch
as Oblameo & Hillary put ALL the focus on the CNN ordeal
just like that video
and NOT on their own SCREW UP.
Do you really think, if Hillary & Oblameo got their hands on the journal,
they would’ve let the world know of the Ambassador’s dire concern ?
They would’ve, most likely destroyed the contents
& NEVER notified the good Ambassador’s family
of its existence
to protect THEIR own political butts.
THAT is the REAL story…no evidence, NO conscious, NO accountability.
The rest of the Bleedia-Schmedia will roll with the CNN factor
& completely negate the REAL issue-
this administration’s FAILURE to heed an Ambassador’s plea
for fortified security in a dire, hardship post.
Don’t let the media & administration take your eye off THAT “shell”.
Whatever happens with CNN….who cares, who watches them anyways ?
They’ve embroiled themselves in a mess
but, in a precarious, unorthodox way-
they have managed to EXPOSE the truth
with the Ambassador’s own words
which fly in the face of Hillary & Oblameo.
Pick your poison, America…thieves or liars ?
The “LIARS” got good people killed,
the thieves got their hands on a journal which proved THAT very point.
Have you had enough, America?
No MORE lies, there’s too damn much to

This sodomy story came up on Tayyar.org and other news sites referenced it.
I haven’t been able to find another independent report, even after all this time, and I now strongly suspect that its not true.
It is curious that Tayyar.org would make that claim, unless perhaps it was intended to incite military retribution.

It’s not being pursued by the US Media but, the rest of the world, including the UK, has talked about it. That’s why he was betrayed by the Libyans working in the Embassy. They knew of his lifestyle and shared it with the enemy for profit.

Posted on September 22, 2012 at 5:52pmTo @U.N.HATER. Stevens did not wake up one morning and on his own decide to sell us out. I’m sure he made the decision to serve his Country for all the right reasons. He was betrayed and killed, we were just put in danger and not by him, but, by his superiors, all of which in one way or another is acting under the guidance (if not directly but indirectly by President Obamas’ policies. So, therefore I must emphatically disagree with your despicable assessment that the man got what he deserved. Right or wrong he was merely following the commander in chiefs’ orders (also called policies). @U.N.HATER, I feel sorry for you. I’ll pray for the Lords guidance for you and may he free you from the obvious hate festering inside you. My God have mercy on the fallen and provide the strength to the fighters of this great Nation. I humbly ask God to bless and protect The United States Of America, AMEN……….

Beck stated that “he” believed Stevens was CIA rather than just an Ambassador, as were the two Marines. But Beck had no proof, only what he was thinking. And stated that Stevens was sent there to retrieve the arms the Obama Administration “loaned” to Al Quaeda to overthrow Gaddafi. This is the first I’ve heard of him being gay. Either way, Obama has blood on his hands.

Posted on September 22, 2012 at 5:39pmAnd, Stiggs, how did CNN get access to the site where the journal was found, was there still no security even after the murders? You would think the Obama administration would get a clue and move quickly to secure the building before CNN had access. Pretty sad when network people are quicker on their feet that the US government. Given that Clinton signed off on a contract with a British firm to handle security (not an American firm), that agreed to being UNARMED. Makes you truly wonder which side of the fence our present government is on.
