Just to be clear, the ‘sodomized’ report originated from one Arabic-language Lebanese source.
Maybe he had just recently had sex. The fact that he was gay only complicates whether he was raped or not.
And now the US is clamping down on all info. Fog of war. The initial reports were that he died of smoke inhalation, or that his car was firebombed as he tried to leave, or that he was brought to the hospital by “friendlies” and they tried to revive him for 90 minutes. Then the photos of him with blood and bruises and sort of partially undressed being tossed around by Libyans who did not look very friendly, surfaced.
Maybe facts will come out after a while.
Oh, and then the stories about his body being paraded around the city for 5 hours, and the sodomized bit, and the beatings. There were bloody handprints at the consulate, or maybe the safe house, can’t remember.
