U.S. Embassy Condemns Religious Incitement
September 11, 2012
The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.NATIONAL SECURITY

US Believes Fiery Attack Was Planned
Officials say the Obama administration suspects the attack in Libya that killed the US ambassador and three other diplomats was planned.
The deaths of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three
members of his staff in Libya are a result of President's Obama's
decision to intervene in that country, former CIA director Michael
Hayden tells Newsmax. It all comes down to the Pottery Barn principle of
"if you break it, you own it," he says. Hayden also has harsh words for
