I am probably being dense here but explain why this is an issue? If there was one good samaritan trying to help - that is good - but OBVIOUSLY - this man was tortured and his body treated in a most vile manner - that is what everyone is up in arms about!!!

There were terrorists in the crowd or they came a moment later and took him or something happened.... and really, at the end of the day, does it matter? They are plain and simple savages -

At issue is what exactly happened. According to tayyar.org, a Lebanese news source (Google translation from Arabic):

Sources said that "the U.S. ambassador to Libya was raped sexually before killing by gunmen who stormed the embassy building in Benghazi last night to protest against the film is offensive to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)," The sources said that "Ambassador was killed and representation of his body in a manner similar to what happened with Gaddafi ahead kill him. "

However, other reports (example) say he was brought to the Benghazi Medical Center suffering from severe asphyxia and that doctors worked on him for 90 minutes before giving up. They reported he also suffered from stomach bleeding, but they attributed that to the smoke inhalation (any docs care to comment?).

The photo at the top of the thread probably shows a Libyan trying to help the ambassador. You don't stick your cell phone in your mouth if you are about to drag a guy through the street.
