I read the book and watched a Documentary made long before the book came out and the documentary
gave the same details that the author gave, and probably more.

Gosh, I don't recall hearing much outrage about that. Once his name came out he did make a TV appearance.
If anything, people thought the author should have expected it. So, I'd have to say that the "film maker" who
was so vocal and hid using various alias' should have expected it.

Sure, call out FOX on revealing the Seal's identity. Just because FOX was wrong doesn't mean we'll keep it hush hush when CNN instigates a manhunt for a scapegoat.

BTW, the woman in the video sounds absolutely clueless and is having a great time victimizing herself.

A parade of clowns.

Speaking of Rushdie, they just upped the bounty on his head today, adding $500K to the pot, now making it $3.3 million dollars.
This was from an Iranian religious foundation.

they are just starting to look stupid now.

did they release a picture of bill maher for his film also at the same time, or anybody else who ever had an anti-muslim movie or thought?

And it looks like the media is going with changing the narrative again.

Headlines Ive seen today.

Romney in trouble, changing strategy
Obama going after China *even though just days ago, the Obama Admin used communist China's words to go after Romney who went after China
Reality of Islamophobia - CNN article blasting Christians on their views of Islam
Voice for 99% how OWS pushed populist issues like Income inequality/unfair tax policies

All crap to do what else than help Obama and a liberal agenda out. They want to shift away from talking about what happened in the Middle East, not asking the tough real questions surrounding the whole thing and taking the Administration to task over it. Anything, to help out Barack. The media is untruthful and biased.

So just declare this movie guy as guilty and send him to Egypt and let them "serve justice".
After all, the entire ME uprising is over this movie, isn't it ?

The man's duplicity in the way he created the film is quite incredible, and he seems to have never thought about (or cared?) that his being a Copt would turn non-Coptic Egyptians against them. And for what point, what purpose....some individual gets to thumb his nose at someone else's religion, but has not concern over the realities on the ground. Being a Copt I would have thought he might have been more up on this than many Americans.

It would be interesting to hear directly from him about his motives.

The film maker and his family have gone into hiding.

Anti-Islam Video Protests Live Blog - Al Jazeera Blogs
A spokesman with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says Nakoula Basseley Nakoula's relatives left their Cerritos home about 3:45am on Monday.
Deputies gave them a ride and they were reunited with Nakoula, then taken to an undisclosed location.

i would like to know how the assailants knew where our ambassador was after he was moved.

i think that is a lot more important than some obscure film trailer producer's opinion.
