Arwa Damon on walking through the U.S. Consulate in Libya: "Partial bloodstains on the walls...remnants of the life that was"

On Friday evening "Piers Morgan Tonight" again welcomed Wolf Blitzer, for what amounted to a fourth consecutive night of guest hosting amidst the growing unrest in the Middle East.

As rage stemming from a recent anti-Islam film continues to spread globally, tonight Blitzer welcomed CNN's Arwa Damon with a live report from Benghazi, Libya, site of the attack on the U.S. Consulate:

"Well, the situation is pretty tense," she revealed to Blitzer. "Just about every single Libyan that we have been speaking to of course expressing their horror, their outrage about Tuesday's attack, saying this most certainly is not indicative of how Libyans themselves feel ... but also really wanting to see their own government begin to take control, begin to reign in these various militias."

As Damon continued her live report, she shared intimate details of her earlier visit to the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, the location where a 52-year-old diplomat, and three other Americans, died earlier this week:

"We walked into the main residential building and that is where we were told Ambassador Stevens died of smoke inhalation. Standing inside that location, seeing partial bloodstains on the walls, seeing the soot, the ash, the debris, seeing remnants of the life that was and bits and pieces of what those two were actaully stationed there ... There was a piece of paper that had scrawled across it 'Libya is so important,'" she explained to Blitzer. "It was a real chilling, somber experience to be walking through it."

Watch the clip, and listen to the interview, as Damon shares insight into the underestimated dangers of extremist groups in Libya.

    Did Mitt pay CNN to have Wolf do the shows? He actually just said he knows why Mitt called the President a LIAR! Boy Wolf you are either on REPUB payroll or you are a MIND READER!!!

    See that is so much better to have ever one on, that share the same view as the host. Than there is no fighting about who is right Obama is right. why would you have some one on that doesn’t play the game and wants to stand up for the unfairness of how one person is attack and put down. Than it doesn’t work. Than you have to do what happen at the Dem’s conference you have to call the count even if the count is wrong.

    Arwa Damon's reporting is one of the reasons I rarely watch CNN anymore. She gave very misleading reports during the Libyan revolution, saying that the revolutionaries were harmless when anyone who knew anything knew that there is a heavy terrorist element in the eastern part of Libya. And now she seems to be just discovering these terrorists! Is she just ignorant or does she have her own private agenda? CNN should put on someone who doesn't seem to have a private agenda – or is just a war junkie. She and CNN have lost all credibility.

      To get a true idea what's going on in the world and United States we need to remove the ear plugs and blinders we put on. The news we get is controlled by the chosen few in the UA. Free media please.

      When Roaman empire failed first went the brain of the people. Bush started the modern day crusade killing our service men and woman. Bush lied to the people of United States. Which part of histor you don't get ? Who gained from the war? Bush is attached at the hip with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Whabi ( cult) that sent the 19 terrorist with the help of which other country? Hint, hint..... Getting your facts right first. This is not a black man or white man issue. Our people were lied to and got killed for what ? It was because war makes some very rich. Countries crumble from power when there people fail to question there leaders? Where were you when Bush was lying to you and me? Where were you when our sons and daughters were killing millions of innocent people? Where were you when our fallen were returning home in body bags? If not why? It's because I media never questioned why? Who runs our media? Instead of trying to lynch a black man. Please educate your self. You and I are in this together. It's a global world now it's no longer about COLOR of your skin. It's about being united as Americans. Up, that means black, white, Asians and south Americans. What a great melting pot we can be.
      The kingdom of Saudia Arabia will fall before you know it, what then? Will the king move to Texas? He is not wanted in the Muslim countries. War with Iran is the distraction Israil and Saudia Arabia wants that are controlled media wants to tell you. Dont you remember, all the WMD Fox news and yes CNN told us about?
