Sean "Vile Rat" Smith's Mother On CNN

I've felt a few emotions since I woke up on 12 September to the news that Sean "Vile Rat" Smith was among the four Americans murdered in the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on 9/11/12.  Anger that it happened.  Disbelief that I had a connection to one of the victims through Eve Online.  But as the news came out about what really happened I had a sense of overwhelming disgust at our government who lied cover up politically inconvenient facts about its incompetence.  That incompetence extended to they clumsy lies it put forward, which fueled my disgust even further.  Do they really think the American people are THAT dumb?

But last night for the first time I cried.  Sean's mother was interviewed by Anderson Cooper on CNN.  I didn't know Sean, but this video broke my heart.


Update:  There is a on-line fundraiser for Sean's family still open on You Caring.  If you haven't given yet, please consider going over and contributing.
