Someone explain how he gets paraded around in the streets after a doctor spends 90 minutes to revive him, or the guy is paraded around and then a doctor spends 90 minutes to revive him?

My guess is he was paraded around first.

I wonder if that's how the other three officials lost their lives.

The speculation out there is rampant, that makes a hell of a lot more sense.

"The American ambassador and three staff members were killed when gunmen fired rockets in their direction," a Libyan official in Benghazi told Reuters news agency.

The Libyan doctor who treated Mr Stevens in hospital said he had died of severe asphyxiation, apparently from smoke inhalation, with no other injuries, and that he had tried for 90 minutes to revive him.

Smoke inhalation.

Ah okay, that makes more sense. Then he was strangled to death? (they said cause of death was suffocation).

Looks like the ambassador was killed while in a convoy. Rocket attack I think.

What I don't understand is why the fuck did we not have armed guards at an embassy in a hostile country at war? You can literally just walk into a US embassy and kill the ambassador?

I have no idea, but that's exactly what happened in the past in Iran in '79.

Fifty? Is that enough? I'd fear for those guys, myself.

U.S. officials say some 50 Marines are being sent to Libya to reinforce security at U.S. diplomatic facilities in the aftermath of an attack in the eastern city of Benghazi that killed the U.S. ambassador and three American members of his staff.

The Marines are members of an elite group known as a Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team, whose role is to respond on short notice to terrorism threats and to reinforce security at U.S. embassies. They operate worldwide.

Here's a 13 minute trailer of the film, Innocence of Muslims. For $5 million, it's pretty bad!
