Minor Thoughts from me to you

CNN reported on the personal journal of slain American ambassador Christopher Stevens over objections from his family, a State Department spokesman said Saturday.

... In its online story, CNN said it found the journal on the "floor of the largely unsecured consulate compound where he was fatally wounded."

Uhm. Why was the Ambassador's diary still laying on the floor for CNN to find and pick up? Shouldn't the State Department or CIA or somebody from the government have been through that place before CNN got there? Is the State Department more upset that CNN broadcast the diary or that CNN broadcast the fact that the Ambassador was concerned about security threats—threats that the State Department did nothing to defend against?
