Excerpt:

It's not clear what role Jones had, if any, in producing the Mohammed film that's got Islamists in a lather but he's been promoting it, so it's time for the U.S. government to spring into action. Do note, this isn't the first time he's received a call from a top defense official. Bob Gates picked up the phone too and beseeched him not to burn the Koran two years ago when the last "Islam insulted" insanity was raging. Think about that. Think about how many civilians, in a country of 300 million people, have ever received a personal call from the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff asking them not to do something. Dempsey, in particular, likely spends most of his time these days gaming out an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities; he took precious time from doing that to phone some guy in Florida who's somehow made it on the international media's radar for his willingness to provoke. That's how much of a geopolitical threat it's become to the United States for even the most random Americans to affront Islamic sensibilities.
