No sense for inquiry in most of the press - Jimmy Carter's Dead Ambassador

We keep hearing about our Libyan Ambassador being the first American Ambassador to be killed in thirty years. But we never seem to get any depth and bacground to this story or few other news stories for that matter.
Fortunately there are a few places, as The American Spectator, that does its research. m/r
Indeed, no one is asking why it is that both Obama and Carter -- not Reagan or the Bushes or Bill Clinton -- wound up having an American enemy think it was safe to kill an American Ambassador.

The American Spectator : Jimmy Carter's Dead Ambassador

By  on 10.23.12 
Background music of appeasement gave both Obama and Carter murdered diplomats.
His name was Adolph "Spike" Dubs.
He was Jimmy Carter's Ambassador to Afghanistan.
Where, on February 14, 1979, Ambassador Dubs was kidnapped and murdered by a pro-Communist Afghan faction known as the Setami Milli. The victim of what might be called the Jimmy Carter Apology Tour -- which preceded the Obama Apology Tour by over 30 years. 
Ambassador Dubs' death is being recalled these days in a most interesting fashion.
Following the murder in Benghazi of Barack Obama's Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, along with two Navy Seals and Foreign Service officer Sean Smith, the Stevens murder is being frequently noted, as here in the New York Times, as "the first time since 1979 that an American ambassador had died in a violent assault." 
Incredibly, after the death of Ambassador Stevens and the others, the President said flatly in last night's debate: "The Libyans stand with us." Wow. If that is true, why are the Ambassador, two Navy Seals and a Foreign Service officer dead at the hands of Libyans?
