THE NEW YORK TIMES - "The ambassador, J. Christopher Stevens, was missing almost immediately after the start of an intense, four-hour firefight for control of the mission, and his body was not located until Wednesday morning at dawn, when he was found dead at a Benghazi hospital, American and Libyan officials said. It was the first time since 1979 that an American ambassador had died in a violent assault."

AP - "Stevens was the first U.S. ambassador killed in the line of duty in 30 years."

I don't need to lie, though you obviously need to paint me out as a liar to win this debate.

That wasn't what you said though. You said, "no American had been killed in diplomatic service in 30 years when those four were slain in Benghazi.". You didn't in your original statement, narrow it down to just ambassadors. Ambassadors aren't the only diplomats. American diplomats had been killed in diplomatic service more recently than 30 years. Had you said, "no ambassador had been killed in diplomatic service in 30 years, until Benghazi", you would have been correct. You didn't say that, you said no diplomat.


Here's your original quote: No mention of ambassador. Ambassadors aren't the only American diplomats.

There you go again. It had been 30 years since an American death had occurred in diplomatic service when those four were slain in Benghazi. Who really cares how many foreigners got blown up by car bombs during a foiled attack on one or our embassies, much less the embassies of other lands? You were trying to justify your boy and saying this is all very commonplace. It is anything but.
