According to The Associated Press, a film dramatizing the killing of Osama Bin Laden will debut on the National Geographic Channel just two days before the presidential election. “Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden” will air on Nov. 4. But there have been questions raised about whether the timing of this is specifically to aid the president in his re-election bid since it was produced by a big fundraiser for the president’s campaign. The killing of Osama Bin Laden has been touted by President Barack Obama’s supporters as one of the major successes of his presidency.
National Geographic has denied any political allegiance and claims one of the reasons for this particular date was a desire to get ahead of a competitive movie about the raid to be released at the end of the year, “The Heat Locker.”
There are others, however, who have their concerns about potential violence if either of these movies are released. During the , a YouTube movie reportedly insulting the Prophet Mohammad has been blamed for sparking the violence. However, rioters have been seen chanting “Obama this is for Osama” during some of the riots.
In the light of these recent events, do you think it is wise to release either of these movies at this time? Or do you believe, that like the YouTube video, supressing them would be a violation of freedom of speech?
You also said "It's been made very clear that Ambassador Stevens asked for additional security 2 days before his brutal assassination and he got nothing". Really? Where has it been made "very clear"? Please show me where you found these facts.
Where is proof of that part?
That's exactly how I accept it and that's exactly what it is. You said "our rights and our constitution are gone forever" and that BS. You choose to spew your imagination on the public. I "understand it".
Are feeling okay?
Her link didn't work. Here's one from ABC of all networks. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/10/email-shows-state-department-rejecting-request-of-security-team-at-us-embassy-in-libya/ Another one, this from PBS http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/world/july-dec12/libya1_10-02.html I hope Romney pulls a full scale investigation and charges are brought. In the military, you would go before a tribunal for derelection of duty. So, is there any reason why the one at the top cannot see the same treatment?
Where is this proof? If it isn't fact, why would anyone make such an arrogant claim?
Here ya go. In this also is an interesting peice from a Libyan official stating that documents left behind after the attack show that the movie had nothing to do with the attack. Sec. Clinton says they are investigating for a full disclosure.
If we cower in response to that, and curb our tongues and pens in fear of the consequences, we have in fact lost some of our Constitutional rights- not because they were taken, but because we surrendered them..

Take another lesson of how Australia handles these terrorists. Maybe one should read the speech made by a Minister I think in Parliament. Now we know which country wears pants!
