Thank you so much. I actually posted here supporting the retrieval effort but I had a bad feeling about the longer version of the video and well you see what happened. I need to take a break from the video work so it will be a little while before I do an update. My work on Ben Ghazi Gates was my first real effort at any kind of video production and it is a steep learning curve! What does BTTT mean? And what do I do with the Pings and bumps? I am not allowed to e-mail, all my posts have to be moderated and it drives me crazy that it takes so long to get responses to people...
For example, the shirt up vs. down, you mentioned possible CPR, checking for pulse.
But the change in belt buckle has no comment, nor does the presence of a weapon. If Libya is anything like Iraq, most everyone has an AK-47. So don't assume that everyone thinks that you think they are terrorists.
It is interesting that other than the fire damage there doesn't seem to be any indication of bullet holes or other violent damage. Although I guess if the Ambassador was not protected, not much reason to start shooting at the place.
It would be interesting to see if any images of the CIA Annex building are available where it seems the real fire-fight went down.
Thanks again for the video.
I was just thinking we needed a summary about what happened with Stevens. I can’t see most videos on my computer but I’ll use my kids’ computer if I have to, to see this one.
Pings and bumps will take care of themselves. Hopefully the moderation requirement won’t last long.

I would say you are a heck of a good study. You have done what even none of the networks have and done it well. Kudos.
“What does BTTT mean?”
Bump To The Top. Used to be the more hits you got on a thread, the longer it stayed in view. Now, it’s used for either marking a thread you want to get back to, or letting the originator of the thread know they done good. Or both.
“And what do I do with the Pings and bumps?”
Pings is when you want to let specific people know about a thread. You type their niks into the TO: box whether it’s one or a hundred, and the article or reply will be sent to every name on the list. When you get this reply, it will show up on your comments page. THAT is a ping.
A bump is the same as BTTT.
“I am not allowed to e-mail, all my posts have to be moderated and it drives me crazy that it takes so long to get responses to people...”
Patience. This too shall pass. Took me about three days before I could post without a longggg wait.
From what I have seen of your stuff, it should be a very short wait.
Your posts have been excellent.
We get a LOT of trolls come election season.
The email and pre-moderating requirements are temporary to keep the disruption down to a dull roar.
Don't worry, you will soon be amongst the fully living.
