Ambassador Chris Stevens, a great friend to Libyan rebels, killed by religious extremists - Ben Curtis/AP photo |
From Denny: Yesterday, even I knew some of our diplomats and an ambassador (Chris Stevens) were killed in Libya on the anniversary of September 11th. That's why I put up a new Denny Lyon Design for the September 11th anniversary, my quiet code to let all concerned know I was thinking of them: the White House, the State Department and the Pentagon.
Rather than report it before the families had a chance to hear about their loved ones and the White House had a chance to verify and organize a response I - and a lot of smart journalists - remained mute. It's called respect for a national crisis and the families of the loved ones lost in the line of duty. It's also known as integrity.
Apparently, Republican challenger Mitt Romney has no integrity. He is not a real American and nothing but a traitor. Why should we expect anything better out of this rotten Republican campaign? He is the typical businessman who engages in war profiteering - campaigning to keep wars going on for years - while our troops give their blood. This is as wrong as what Romney just did.
