He made a short film before returning to Libya about his excitement over his post. He was an Arabic speaker with experience of the Arab world. Chris Stevens even supported the intervention in Libya and the overthrow of Muammar Al-Gaddafi. The Libyan leader was killed after his captivity by the rebels, who complained of human rights abuses and then became the abusers of human rights themselves. Without US support, the rebels would not have come to power. Many militias were created and armed to fight against the Libyan government. Al-Qaeda flags fly in many areas of Libya today, from Benghazi to Tripoli to Sirte.

Here, Chris Stevens is videotaped unceremoniously after his death, showing the extent of dishonor by the Libyan authorities for the privacy of the man and his family. The video was uploaded onto the web by the blogger. Such 'bloggers' have flourished during the Arab Spring, and will videotape any sensitive issue and upload it onto the web without consideration. The same mentality saw them kill Muammar Al-Gaddafi, and his son Mutassim, in captivity, and show what they did to the world. Many were horrified at their lack of regard for process, and remembered that killing prisoners is a war crime. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, laughed when she found out about the deaths, famously saying We came, we saw, he died.

In many ways, the intervention was comparable to the US creation of Al-Qaeda and the 'mujahideen' in Afghanistan to fight against the Soviets.
