Embassy attacked in Libya

The person who was supposedly leaked by the US Govt. (I forget his name already - something Middle Eastern) already copped to being involved in the film to an AP Repoter.

For what it's worth, while he admits involvement, he claims he is not the actual pseudonym person.
 
I am not a fan of withdrawing from the world. However I would be open to the idea of reducing our presence in the M.E. dramatically. Maybe down to Saudi Arabia, Isreal and Kuwait.

You said him being a sleaze does not relate to the name leak. It relates to him not being a victim. And now you go back to saying it's about the name leak.

The director mocking Islam is no different than the million other Youtube videos mocking Islam, Christianity, or any other religion. It's no different than South Park, a show that made mocking Jews its raison d'etre. His actions need no apologizing or justification. This is a free society, and the creator of the movie is free to say what he wants. The actions of the extremists are the only thing worth condemning. The contents of the movie or the personality of whoever posted it are irrelevant.

I was paraphrasing the claim to which I was responding, not endorsing that position (hence, the "supposedly"). Had the government leaked his name (it didn't), that would have been inappropriate, but that would not make th edirector a victim.

Leaked or not they don't seem to have a problem with making it known do they? According to the AP Federal authorities came forward with the identity of "the man behind" the film. I don't recall reading the ID anywhere else, but when Federal authorities come forward that's news.

It's just the usual "rile up" tactic used by the globalists to try and start the next world war.
They been planning this for a long time, and now it's finally coming to fruition.
Why it was just last month that the Counsel on Foreign Relations was praising and spouting that they needed Al CIA'da to move on with the agenda.
 
Reports are that this is spreading to include Sudan, Indonesia and Malaysia.

In Sudan protesters stormed the German Embassy tore down the flag and replaced it with a black "Islamist" flag.

Does anyone know why Germany would be targeted?

I quoted a TPM column that appeared before the authorities spoke on the matter. He got it from the AP wire.

Probably just some extension to the representation of the "West" or because of the NATO affiliation. I think the grievances or reasons for protest sort of compound to whatever your average trouble makers want them to be over time. It might not mean anything other than they got bored and decided to trash whatever Western embassy was closest at the time.

It appears that you are correct as the German Embassy is next to the Britain one and it is facing demonstrations as well but the protesters have not been able to get inside. I wonder if Britain security offered the German embassy any assistance.
