Why “fake” it?
What would be the point?
It wouldn’t sell to other Arabs, they would think it was normal to leave an infidel to die. To impress us somehow? They are terrorists. It isn’t “terrifying” to rush someone to the hospital.
And, again, they didn’t take Sean Smith to the hospital. So why Stevens but not Smith?
And there is doubt about whether Stevens was dead or not. Some of the Libyans who took him to the hospital claim he was alive and a doctor at the hospital said he did CPR for 90 minutes on the ambassador.
90 minutes! Think about that. Who does CPR for 90 minutes on a patient who has suffered severe smoke inhalation?
So why the extra effort?
They wanted him alive.
They faked a video. They planted a story that Stephens was 'gay', on September 12th. Why not plant the notion this was about taking Stevens prisoner? What happened was what was planned. By the way any reports of who got Libya's gold?
