CNN "found" his journal? Did CNN buy it off some looter?
Sure the State Dept is "disgusted". CNN exposed how incompetent they look right now by providing inadequate security that got Stevens killed and allowing CNN into crime scene (if that's how they go it). How come the State Department didn't secure the site and find it themselves? At least CNN was doing their job!
