Huntsman chimes in

Via the Salt Lake Tribune, here's Jon Huntsman's statement on the death of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, with the unsurprising, not-so-veiled criticism of Mitt Romney rolled right in:

"This is a time when we all should reflect on those who continue to give, even the last measure, of service and sacrifice, to promoting and defending America's interests abroad," Huntsman added. "This is above all a reminder that politics should end at the water’s edge." Huntsman's last sentence appears to be directed at Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, the only top Republican who has condemned President Barack Obama's administration for what Romney said was apologizing for America in the government's initial response.

Romney's response to the embassy attacks in North Africa may or may not have salience with the broader electorate, but there's no question that it has triggered the ire of political elites, and Huntsman's velvet-gloved rebuke is emblematic of that.
