US ambassador killed over a film

[shoju]

I'm crossposting this from Maintankadin. One of the members over there is a Marine, currently stationed abroad (not in Libya). He took some time and gave us a breakdown of what happened in Libya.

It offers a little more insight into things, including the culture of Libya, and some other information that shoots shows that while the protest was about the movie, the attack was more than just a protest gone wrong.

Thank you very much for sharing this, shoju.

Sure.

I have much respect for the poster who took the time to post this. I may not always agree with him, but his outlook on a portion of the world that he has spent much of his enlisted time in the Marines in has been a breath of fresh air.

And referencing Tal's link, Yesterday on CNN (At least the international edition, there were a few stories about the crew disowning the movie, and pointing at this very thing. I'm starting to see more and more stories come out about it.
