CAIRO — An amateur video that surfaced Sunday appears to show a crowd removing the motionless body of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens from a window of the American mission in Benghazi, Libya, after it was attacked last week by Islamist militants, adding new details to reports that Mr. Stevens had died of smoke inhalation while locked in a safe room.

I found it. Looking at the tension in the tendon of his left elbow leads me to believe he was alive and conscious when this shot was taken.

Maybe someone answered already, but a site called Liveleaks had several photos a few days ago. The people dragging/carrying him around did not look the least bit “friendly”.

Look at the guy holding on to the white building.

That was the first thing I noticed too!

It wouldn’t surprise me at all that Liveleaks has photos.
I did find the one I was looking for at Google, at least and posted it just above your post.

There was nothing friendly about the vermin who dragged him around. I hope Hitlery is enduring sleepless nights, knowing she’s guilty for what those poor Americans endured.
As for Hussein, he probably rejoiced as much as the vermin. I keep spotting little smirks on his face in photos taken the past week.

Could say they are armature liars but they rule the world so what does it matter.

We all recognize that it is difficult to know what happened with certainty, but in this case there is a lot of evidence from which we can glean a lot of facts. I did take the time to find the Facebook page of the individual who uploaded the video of Ambassador Stevens’ being removed through the window. The Facebook page is loaded with information some of which I was able to translate with Bing. It is really worth reviewing.

The man goes by “Abdelgader Elghalayini”. He is college educated and has a subscription to the moderate Libyan leader Mohamed Almagariaf. If the following link works it will take you to his FB page where Abdelgader has the photo in his timeline of Ambassador Stevens’. I think it is the one you are referring to.

From that photo and the video I am fairly certain Ambassador Stevens was already dead when he was removed from the consulate building. His photo gives away his probable cause of death—smoke inhalation. If you look closely at his upper lip you can clearly see soot deposits. These deposits are not uncommon in smoke inhalation deaths. As you inhale and exhale the smoke, it deposits soot on, in, and around the nostrils not to mention the lungs. Ambassador Stevens’ soot deposits are substantial indicating significant inhalation of smoke. In addition to the soot, Steven’s would have likely inhaled lethal concentrations of carbon monoxide associated with the fire (see the other interior photos of the building). Without immediate medical care he would have succumbed quickly.

They certainly didn't handle the body with any great care or trating him as though he was still alive. The narrative being put out now is that they were cheering because the Ambassador was still alive.

WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, and IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.

I never said I was certain; only that the photo lead me to believe. I honestly hope he wasn’t alive by the time he was in the hands of the vermin to endure any more horror.
I did notice the soot - that’s the first thing I noticed.

I’m one of those who never goes to FB but I’m sure others here will appreciate that link. A few FReepers are able to read Arabic and may be able to add more to what you posted. There may be something there that will give all of us more light on the subject. So many “?”s right now.

I believe nothing coming out of Washington.

It was the same thing that Major Nidal Malik Hasan shouted at Ft. Hood and the hijackers shouted when they flew into the WTC and Pentagon.

Not to worry. If you look at his mouth, it is also heavily sooted as well suggesting that he began mouth breathing at some point as a natural response to reduced oxygen intake.

Now going back to that photo which I clicked on:

You will find that Abdelgader has tagged the photo. I think that says a lot. Apparently it is just a cropped version. Look near the top and you will find Jihan Elghoull. A woman journalist.

I don’t think that any radical islamists are accompanied by women professional journalists but I couuld be wrong.

Breitbart has a little more on what was said.
