In class last week, we
discussed a current event that revolved around the issue of the offensive movie
made by a supposed American. In class we discussed how this movie degraded the
Muslim religion and how people in Libya reacted to the movie. We know that one
of our Ambassadors was killed a few days ago in reaction to the movie shown.
Now that it has been a few days, there is a debate whether we should send U.S.
FBI over to the Middle East to investigate the murder that took place or if it
safer to stay put while issues die down. In this article I found, FBI agents
would like to put off the investigation because of the uproar occurring in
Middle Eastern countries. One side believes that FBI agents should not be sent
to Libya because they should not put agents in harm’s way with the way things
are at the moment. They believe that safety comes first before anything. The
article also mentions more facts about the background of U.S. Ambassador
Christopher Stevens along with three other Americans. It gives a little more
detail movie issue and whether the murder was a planned attack. Getting back to
the main focus of the article, it is believed that it will be safer to not
bring many Westerners to Libya at the moment. It also concludes with some of
the Abassador’s last thoughts.
