Updated: Rep. Peter King Asks For Probe Into White House’s Role in Bin Laden Movie

Big Hollywood  "Word of the Obama administration’s cooperation with Bigelow was first reported on Sunday by New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, who wrote that the White House was hoping the film, set for an Oct. 12, 2012, release date, would boost Obama ahead of next year’s election."

Is the Obama Administration inappropriately disclosing classified data to movie producers in the hopes of getting a film about the killing of terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden released before the 2012 election?    "It was clear that the White House had outsourced the job of manning up the president’s image to Hollywood when Boal got welcomed to the upper echelons of the White House and the Pentagon and showed up recently — to the surprise of some military officers — at a C.I.A. ceremony celebrating the hero Seals."

Excerpt of Rep. King's letter here: 

....Special Operations Command’s Admiral Eric Olson stated that the May 1st raid “was successful because nobody talked about it before, and if we want to preserve this capability nobody better talk about it after,” and that his operators’ “15 minutes of fame lasted about 14 minutes too long. They want to get back in the shadows.” Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Michael Mullen stated that “It is time to stop talking,” as “We have gotten to a point where we are close to jeopardizing the precision capability that we have, and we can’t afford to do that. This fight isn’t over.” Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates stated that “Too many people in too many places are talking too much about this operation, and when so much detail is available it makes that both more difficult and riskier” for such missions in the future.

SONY'S POLITICIZATION OF UPCOMING BIN LADEN RAID FILM DISCOURAGES AUDIENCE  "After it became known that Sony's planned movie project to be based on the raid on bin Laden's hideout in Pakistan would actually be more like a reelection prop for Obama, Big Hollywood ran a poll, and the results show that a solid number so far - 98 percent - are discouraged from seeing Katheryn Bigelow's movie because of how it could be less a straightforward focus and more of a political election maneuver."
