SoapZone Community: Politics Message Board

The father of Chris Stevens, the slain U.S. Ambassador to Libya, said he does not want the death of his son to become part of campaign-season politics.

"It would really be abhorrent to make this into a campaign issue," Jan Stevens told Bloomberg News in a telephone interview.

Stevens added that he thought his son's death is being "adequately investigated."

"We don't pretend to be experts in security. It has to be objectively examined. That's where it belongs. It does not belong in the campaign arena," said Stevens, 77, an attorney and registered Democrat.

The Romney campaign has sought to highlight the Libya attacks, raising the issue on the campaign trail, as evidence of President Obama's failing foreign policy.
