Attorney General Eric Holder said that Justice Department officials had opened a criminal investigation into the deaths of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other diplomats killed during an attack on the American mission in Benghazi. It was not immediately clear whether authorities were focusing on the California filmmaker as part of that probe.

A federal law enforcement official said Thursday that Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, was the man behind "Innocence of Muslims," a film denigrating Islam and the Prophet Muhammad that sparked protests earlier in the week in Egypt and Libya and now in Yemen. U.S. authorities are investigating whether the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Libya came during a terrorist attack.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation, said Nakoula was connected to the persona of Sam Bacile, a figure who initially claimed to be the writer and director of the film. But Bacile quickly turned out to a false identity and the Associated Press traced a cellphone number used by Bacile to a southern California house where Nakoula was found.

So will this make it ok for President Romney to go after Matt and Trey for “The Book of Mormon”?

The feds are desperately trying to distract from Obama’s disaster.

They have it all wrong.

The GREATEST issue that we as a nation has with this whole debacle is the VERY concerning effects that Mitt Romney's speech has on the situation since HE is just a candidate for POTUS. /s

They are trying to deflect from the fact they helped put al-Qaeda rebel thugs in power in Libya.

The only thing worse than that movie is that there are actually morons who want to censor it.

Well .. according to Michelle my belle, the real national security issue is: WE HAVE TOO MANY FAT PEOPLE.

January 20,2013 cannot come soon enough!!

Nov 6 will be wonderful - because I’m convinced Romney will win, but then we still have to put up with O for more than 60 days.

so it’s probably best i don’t publish my multi-choice koran treatment webpage

read... delete... burn... pee.. puree ... all the normal options afforded the bible by american progressives

i wonder if i’ll still get that national art funding for my ‘72 hairy v-jaja’s covering mo-ham-med in a jar of pig-urine... wrapped in bacon’

i figured if they gave one out for the ‘abstract representation’ of the virgin Mary, then mine would be a shoe in for a grant and maybe a place in the NY metro museum of art

Looks like the government, this regime, the media are still sticking to their narrative even though it's been proven that this film had nothing to do with the Muslims going ApeCrap in the middle east.

There are now unconfirmed reports now from some talk show radio host that the person of interest involved in this Anti-Muslim film is actually a Egyptian, and with Egyptian money ( Foreign Aid money perhaps ? ).

The narrative that it's come Israeli guy in California is a lie, but, that won't stop this regime, and the media to perpetrate this to stoke up the flames among the Muslims in the middle east.

It's just a cheesy B movie, nothing which deserves world attention.

And this is my point...they didn't kill anyone because a low-budget flick. They're using it as an excuse.

Islamic blasphemy laws in the US? Well I guess what the DOJ will do is classify it as hate speech. So anything said against Islam will bring the DOJ in.

What's the democrat mantra?

Osama is dead and GM is alive.

What did the embassy burners chant?

We are all Osama.

Would anyone be surprised if a GM Plant was unexpectedly attacked?

Why do you say that?

How about because the movie is so poorly done that it cannot educate, inform, or even change attitudes. All it can do is cause boredom in decent people or violent anger in Muslims. Creating a movie for either purpose is worse than disappointing. Does anyone, even someone who agrees completely with its portrayal of Islam, think that even one viewer would take this film seriously as an educational tool? There are a lot of productive things that could be done to fight Islam's violent spread, including movies that could be made. Why did this person waste his time on such an inept movie?
