Freedom Of Speech ????

Hot Air posted an article yesterday about the arrest of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the California filmmaker supposedly responsible for the making of the anti-Islam film that some members of the Obama Administration claimed caused the recent attacks on American Embassies in the Middle East.

Hot Air reports:

No word yet on what the violation was, but I assume it must be far more serious than using an alias or a computer. Given the insanity of the past two weeks, replete with the White House nudging Google to pull the video off of YouTube and the State Department running ads on Pakistani TV to apologize for a movie they had nothing to do with, I can’t quite believe the DOJ would risk the perception that they’re punishing this guy for a thoughtcrime unless something serious was involved. There has to be a real crime underlying this. Right?

There article also points out that according to TMZ, the probation records are sealed.

Let’s see. We are not allowed to see the probation records, so we don’t know if this man actually violated his probation. I can only wonder if in the eyes of the Obama Administration, his real crime was making this awful movie and he will be the scapegoat for the failure of the President’s policies in the Middle East.
