Twitter reacts to violence in Libya

All eyes are on the US Embassy in Benghazi, where US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other personnel were killed.

    I am appalled & completely speechless at the death of the four Americans in Benghazi. I am Libyan & those murderers do NOT represent me

    methinks the NATO/US plan to install a passive client state in #Libya did not go exactly to plan #Benghazi #dead_ambassadors

    Dear media: please stop referring to a sustained assault on the US Embassy in Benghazi, #Libya w/RPGs and automatic weapons as a "protest"

    So if the Benghazi Ambush was a revenge killing, not a grassroots protest, how do we explain Cairo and Tunis?

    I feel we'll look back on yesterday's #Benghazi attack and Cairo demonstration as the end of the Arab Spring. #Assad is likely emboldened.

    #TerryJones should be arrested for accessory to murder of US Ambassador in #Benghazi. He has blood on his hands.

    @IrshadManji after what happened in Benghazi I'm ashamed. As a Muslim and as human being #Islam

    Coincidence that the attack on US Consulate in Benghazi happened on Sept. 11th? Don't blame it on a movie, blame it on Muslim Brotherhood.

    I think the prophet will be more offended by an angry mob killing innocent people than portrayal of him in a film. #Benghazi

    Ten #Libya youth lost their precious lives during a heinous attack on US consulate in #Benghazi. Libyans were rescuing #US Amb Chris Stevens

    @MittRomney Your comments re Benghazi: How do you manage to keep putting your foot in your mouth with your head so far up your own rear end?

    The attacks in Benghazi are just one reason why the West should think many times before deciding to ever intervene in Syria.

    Pixels insult but don´t kill, #Benghazi. Learn to block the trolls, as we do in Twitter.

    @RickSantorum feigned concern regarding the death of innocent ambassador in Benghazi; just another opportunity to stick it to Obama!

    The notion that a wave of interactive intelligence briefings could have prevented the Benghazi attacks overestimates our HUMINT capacity.

    @oxfordgirl I'm hearing that the Benghazi attack was most likely AQ using the protests as cover.

    Thoughts go out to the Americans killed in Benghazi today. They honored not only America, but a post-Gaddafi Libya with their service.

    Sad to see Libyans judged for attacks @ #Benghazi Extremists hurt their homes more than the US. Libyans dont stand w/them & helped US Amb
