If you can calmly aim at something the size of a SCUBA tank on someone facing you while a 6 ft ball of flame comes at you you are a better man than most Gunga Din.
Google Defies WH.
http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Google-Muhammad-movie-YouTube/2012/09/14/id/451899?s=al&promo_code=10144-1Google rejected a request by the White House on Friday to reconsider its decision to keep online a controversial YouTube movie clip that has ignited anti-American protests in the Middle East.
The Internet company said it was censoring the video in India and Indonesia after blocking it on Wednesday in Egypt and Libya, where U.S. embassies have been stormed by protestors enraged over depiction of the Prophet Muhammad as a fraud and philanderer.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were killed in a fiery siege on the embassy in Benghazi.
Google said was further restricting the clip to comply with local law rather than as a response to political pressure.
"We've restricted access to it in countries where it is illegal such as India and Indonesia, as well as in Libya and Egypt, given the very sensitive situations in these two countries," the company said. "This approach is entirely consistent with principles we first laid out in 2007."
White House officials had asked Google earlier on Friday to reconsider whether the video had violated YouTube's terms of service.
Google said on Wednesday that the video was within its guidelines.
U.S. authorities said on Friday that they were investigating whether the film's producer, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, a 55-year old Egyptian Coptic Christian living in Southern California, had violated terms of his prison release. Basseley was convicted in 2010 for bank fraud and released from prison on probation last June.
My question is this, why is it that every story about this guys perfectly legal action has to contain a prejudicial reference to his prior criminal record ? Stories about Roman Polanski seldom mention that he was a fugitive from charges of statutory rape.
