The First Amendment Also Died at Benghazi
Jack Cashill / American Thinker
Among the unsung victims of the September 11, 2012, terrorist attack on the American consulate in Benghazi was the First Amendment.
To protect its fragile narrative that an anti-Muslim video had agitated a Libyan crowd into attacking the consulate, the Obama White House and its allies set out to identify and punish the maker of that video, and this they did with a speed and severity that the attackers themselves were spared. Scarier still, to the degree the major media noticed, they cheered.
In a phone conversation I had with video maker Nakoula Basseley Nakoula last week, he had one pressing question: “Why did the government release the deal? Why did they put my life in danger?”
Nakoula was referring to a plea deal he made with the federal government after his arrest in June 2009 for his role in a check-kiting scheme. A thirty-year resident of the United States and a citizen, the native Egyptian agreed to cooperate with authorities in nailing the scheme’s mastermind, Eiad Salameh.
Given that Salameh was still on the loose at the time, and a genuine threat to Nakoula if he knew the terms of the arrangement, the sentencing transcript was sealed. That transcript remained sealed at least until the trailer for the video titled “The Real Life of Muhammad” was uploaded to the Internet on July 1, 2012 and likely for the next two months thereafter.
