The email from Roots is a fake. The stories in it are at best questionable, and he most certainly didn’t write it.

But my question still is whether or not the family would have had the right to have an independent autopsy?
Perhaps some aspects of the story are woven in, shall we say. Many other sources reported a similar conclusion for Stevens’ life. I suspect the main points are true, that Ambassador Stevens was mutilated and tourtured, as what happened to Khadafi. As nuts and facsitic as Khadafi was, it still bothers me that the U.S. somehow facilitated his stalking, battering and filmed murder. I did not enjoy that. Now, if you’re talking about President Bashar al-Assad of Libya, that’s a different story. al-Assad, unlike Khadafi, is not an enfeebled, demented old man, and he knows full well of the 8000+ Libyans his forces have killed for resistance.
Where is any EVIDENCE for either side of this argument? If Chris Stevens was sexually assaulted and that story was printed by anyone where is a copy of it? If no such story was printed where is a copy of the “sanitized” article from the relevant time frame? Would it be at all unusual for a muzzle news agency to withhold information showing their religion’s devotees are evil barbarians and routinely violate their own alleged religious taboos?
