Lucky find: Stevens' handwritten journal was discovered by CNN on the first floor of the burnt out U.S. consulate in Benghazi (four days after attack)
from pictures at the link, the CNN version of this story sounds a little suspect. (imo)

[How did CNN get hold of it?]
They're claiming they found it on the floor of the consulate. What likely happened was his murderers took the journal as well as anything else of intelligence value. After copying the journal they sold it to CNN for a hefty sum or in exchange for something else. CNN gave Saddam Hussein favorable coverage in exchange for access. This was a scandal when it was exposed.

It is highly likely that CNN paid $xxxxxx for it and, thereby, helped finance al qaeda in their continued attacks on the US.
