President Obama, addressing I.R.S.-gate Benghazi, at his joint press conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron, May 13, asserted that the Benghazi attack "happened at the same time as we had seen attacks on U.S. embasssies [cq] in Cairo as a consequence of this film." The Wall Street Journal, May 1`0, ran an editorial "Let Benghazi's Chips Fall" that referred, in part, to TV statements by UN Ambassador Susan E. Rice, September 16, that the fighting in Benghazi was a "spontaneous response" to an anti-Islam video. The website of The Wall Street Journal was reported, by The New York Times, September 12, as identifying "Sam Bacile" as the person who put the video on the Internet.

What does The Wall Street Journal know about "this film" and when did it learn it? LPR clicksters might be interested in knowing that the Times, after blaming the Benghazi attack on the anti-Islam video, September 12, ran articles on the film, or the man responsible for it, September 13, September 16, September 28 and November 26.

The article, September 13 was apparently the result of a hastily-formed Times task force force on the video, led by reporter Adam Nagourney, supported by ten contributors. This article, with information from the Southern Poverty Law Center, charged that anti-Muslim right-wing extremists promoted the video. (The video was discussed in the paper's lead editorial, September 13.)

The September 16 article reported that the filmmaker, indentified as Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, an Egyptian Copt, had been questioned by police.

The September 28 article reported that Nakoula was charged with violating his probation on a bank fraud conviction by using the Internet without permission.

The November 26 article provided a great deal in information on Nakoula, including a report that it was his son who uploaded the video on YouTube, which would suggest that the probation violation charge against Nakoula may be unfounded.
