A Story Like That Doesn't Concern You?? liberallibral Sep 2012 #15

Yeah, and in the end, THAT would be scarier than if it were planned. renie408 Sep 2012 #57

I'm sure the State Department arranged that Aerows Sep 2012 #61

Well, since freaking out in this case... renie408 Sep 2012 #137

That does seem to be highly plausible, unfortunately. AverageJoe90 Sep 2012 #119

I disagree--unless the State Dept. or Obama himself was given TwilightGardener Sep 2012 #120

"he died from smoke inhalation" ...that's right ...he was not murdered. L0oniX Sep 2012 #22

If some people attack you, start fires, causing you to die of smoke inhalation, it's still murder. Nye Bevan Sep 2012 #31

If it was planned then why would they leave it to chance? L0oniX Sep 2012 #36

Maybe the fire was set so as to drive them out into the open where they could be shot? cherokeeprogressive Sep 2012 #115
