Civics and World - General

Libyans Rally Pro-US CBSvideoLibyans held a pro-America rally last night expressing regret and shame for the attacks on the American embassy that resulted in the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and 3 others.

A CBS reporter on the scene said there is a sense of shock and anger toward those responsible for the crimes.

"When you talk to Libyans here you hear the same thing: Everybody is heartbroken. They're saddened, they're shocked by what's happened," D'Agata told Norah O'Donnell and Charlie Rose. "They say the ambassador is a personal friend to the Libyans."

this is really moving... i have to say... it is exactly the message the world needs... i personally am blown away by how a million people travel to mecca each year and worship in peace... that is Islam... and its extraordinary what occurs there during the Hajj.

I think the press, including TV journalism, has an ethical responsibility, a sacred responsibility, a service mission ... to make good news just as entertaining (as we've made sexy the violence).
