is an Op-ed advocating the position that the youtube video "Innocence of Muslims" may not be protected under the First Amendment. The basic argument is that such a "film" (If you saw the clip you know why the quotes.) may intentionally cause imminent risk to life much like yelling "fire" in a crowded theater.
For a different view (and one making fun of the current administration's purported reaction), see:
