Anderson Cooper admitted on Friday that CNN found slain American ambassador’s journal inside U.S. consulate in Libya and ‘secretly’ used it in reporting… Without disclosing the source.
The Daily Mail reported:
CNN host Anderson Cooper admitted on Friday that the network had come across the late Ambassador Christopher Stevens’ personal journal and used parts of it in its reporting without disclosing the source.
On Wednesday on his show Anderson Cooper 360, the journalist told Senator John McCain that ‘a source familiar with Ambassador Stevens’ thinking told us that in the months before his death he talked about being worried about the never-ending security threats that he was facing in Benghazi, and specifically about the rise in Islamist extremism and growing al Qaeda presence.’
Cooper added that ‘the source also mentioned [Stevens] being on an al Qaeda hit list.’
Two days later, Cooper acknowledged that the network had obtained Stevens’ journal, and that some of the information regarding the late ambassador’s thought process in the months leading to the deadly September 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was drawn from his entries.‘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,’ Cooper told his viewers Friday night.
‘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.

Utterly scurrilous and unethical. There is not a single grain of conscience in the MSM. And that is why they are dying. May their death be absolute and painful.

I’M CALLING FOR THE RESIGNATION OF ANDERSON COOPER IMMEDIATELY!! I AM DEMANDING THAT CNN BE FINED FOR 1) BEING IN THE EMBASSY DURING AN INVESTIGATION WHEN EVERY SINGLE THING IN AND AROUND THE EMBASSY IS EVIDENCE, 2) CNN HAD NO RIGHT TO BE IN A AREA WHERE A TERRORIST ATTACK HAD OCCURRED JUST HOURS BEFORE FOR THE REASON OF LOOKING FOR A STORY. THIS IS MALPRACTICE IF THERE EVER WAS!! 3) I DEMAND THAT CNN BE ORDERED OUT OF LIBYA, EGYPT, AND ALL OTHER TERRORIST COUNTRIES UNTIL THE MILITARY DEEMS IT SAFE FOR REPORTERS, 4) I DEMAND THAT ANDERSON COOPER BE ARRESTED FOR RECEIVING THE PRIVATE PROPERTY OF THE AMBASSADOR FROM SOMEONE FROM CNN, AND I DEMAND THAT THE PERSON WHO HE GOT IT FROM AND THE CHAIN OF PERSONS WHO FIRST OBTAINED IT FROM THE EMBASSY UNTIL IT REACHED THE FILTY BLOOD SOAKED HANDS OF COOPER, THIS PRIVATE PROPERY OF THE AMBASSADOR DEEMED STOLEN BY CNN, AND COOPER’S RECEIVING STOLEN PROPERTY.
When is the American people going to show up in front of the CNN headquarters in New York in the thousands and demand that the executives turn Cooper over to the police and the journal of Stevens belongs to his wife. I don’t trust the FBI, CIA, NSA, and especially the State Dept.. I’m sure they would give the journal back to his wife but after it was redacted completely blacked out cover to cover. She has a right to know how Obama put him and the others in danger for a long time and did nothing to protect them or even give them a little bit of a feeling of security. At least Obama or the State Dept. could have set bombs in the building that after securing themselves could have been blown up killing every terrorist, and CNN reporter in the building.
See, Obama considers the terrorists as political parties and not terror units. I know Obama considers the Taliban a political party because right after he was elected he said we should be negotiating with the Taliban not killing them.
Obama is responsible for Steven’s death and the SEAL’s, and everyone else over in the Middle East every day since he’s been in office and should be held responsible for their deaths.

CNN = Communist News Network
But don’t worry. Obama was told of the attack and went to sleep without knowing the outcome. Just as he would having no problem being whisked away to some bomb shelter while the rest of us were being killed by nuclear devices supplied to islamic extremist by Iran. Him and Michelle would be eating wagyu steak while the rest of us died and never lose a nights sleep.

And just like the list of all the Democrats and a few Republican’s whose names were on the list of the Washington Madame, ABC and made copies of it when Harry Reid told Larry Flint if he had anything he could use against the Republican’s right after we and them defeated Bush’s so-called comprehensive immigration reform bill that made Reid so mad he had to find something to hurt Republican’s with. Flint told him that he had the list of representatives who were being serviced by the women of the Washington Madame. That’s when Reid found Vitter’s name on it and it was Vitter who defeated the bill and beat Reid. Vitter’s name just happen to be on it way back in ’98 right after he first got to Washington, so Reid gave that to the press. ABC had copies of it, you know Reid has copies of it, and the original is in the hands of the Justice Dept.
This is just like the list of clients of the Washington Madame, everybody made copies of it before they gave up the original. Steven’s journal had how he felt being abandoned by Obama in the face of a whole population of terrorists. I know CNN has made many copies of it before Cooper mentioned he had it, and CNN has had it and got it from Steven’s desk only hours after the attack. I’m sure the blood wasn’t even dried yet before they wisked that thing out of the country. I’m sure that everybody and his brother has copies of that journal by now. And I’m sure Obama wanted a copy of it so he could look for Steven’s feelings about being left without any protection. And there was probably mention of the lack of security from Obama and Obama doesn’t want that journal to end up in the hands of the Republican’s.
And poor Steven’s wife will get this blacked out book that had her poor husbands last words in it. She has a right to know!!

Why is removing evidence from a crime scene not illegal? What else did they steal from the crime scene?
Liberty Gibbet commented:
Please STOP the redundant posting of this sacrilegiously degrading image of a US ambassador in his final dying moments. Have some respect for the dead!!!
Liberty Gibbet commented:
Willofla, Ambassador Stevens did NOT have a wife http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Stevens_(diplomat)
Oliver commented:
I see that 30,000 Libyans held a counter-protest today in support of the Ambassador and condemning his murder. Call me a cynic, but I smell a rat. Can’t help but wonder if Obama didn’t offer payola for this in an effort to “prove” his appeasement policy is working.

Possibly Stevens was CIA and knew too much about Hussein and/or V. Jarrett, ergo he had to be eliminated. The Mohammed film was the excuse initially. Investigation will bring out things.

Another day, another truckload of crap from CNN
American Woman commented:
On September 14, Hillbuzz uncovered the fact that the Ambassador was gay.
Of course, the State Dept knew about it, which begs the question: Why did Clinton and Obama risk the life of this man by sending him to an Islamic Fascist country?
They knew they were endangering his life, given the fact that Muslims persecute and execute homosexuals on a regular basis.

remembering that the same CNN knew about the on-goings in Iraq we shouldn’t be surprised. eason jordan’s [remember him] take on what they knew and when they knew it. “I felt awful having these stories bottled up inside me. Now that Saddam Hussein’s regime is gone, I suspect we will hear many, many more gut-wrenching tales from Iraqis about the decades of torment. At last, these stories can be told freely.” saddam bought a lot of silence…just sayin’.

My security plans worked!
Murdered Ambassador Steven’s Personal Journal along with some Classified Documents fell into the hands of terrorists and then were purchased by CNN. In Harvard we call that a solid “B+” !
Let me be clear, it takes years of cultivating Al-Qaeda contacts by CNN to get this type of information. Heck, CNN has most of Al-Qaeda’s top terrorists on speed-dial. Sure, it is expensive – but it is worth it!
Now, with MY Administrations approval, we can leak even more classified and personal information!
I am proud that our Main Stream Media has such great terrorists’ ties. I would bet they have more contacts than the CIA!
I you like the way I have leaked personal and classified information to our enemies then vote for me!
And, this is really important! Send me $300.00 before midnight. My campaign is running out of money! With your money I can continue to leak this type of information for the next four years!
If you did not like me then you probably despise me now! But, I have the abusive and manipulative MSM on my side so you can be feed lies at ever newscast. Good day.
