The Associated Press<\/a> reports that a Yemeni security official was killed in a drive by shooting at the US embassy there this morning. But I guess the real story is that the Associated press is still clinging to the “offensive video” explanation for renewed violence (or continuing violence, rather) in the region;<\/p>\n

Anti-American violence in the Middle East has spiked over the past month, most of it triggered by an anti-Islam video made privately in the United States. On September 11 in the Libyan city of Benghazi, U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans – including two former Navy SEALs – were killed in what U.S. administration officials now describe as an act of terrorism. There is some debate about whether the attack was related to protests about the film or whether it was a premeditated attack unrelated to the film.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m tempted to screen shoot the passage because it will probably disappear the minute some AP editor reads the news anywhere and discovers that the White House has been calling the attack in Benghazi a pre-planned attack since the first day, according to Jay Carney in an exchange with Jake Tapper yesterday.<\/p>\n
