When I saw this headline on Real Clear Politics blog, I expected a leftist diatribe. Instead, it turns out the piece is written by a many with many degrees and accolades who is also a JAG captain in the Army reserve.
He then gives us a series of links to the latest Leftist attacks on the movie and American in general.

Lets talk reality: When the film shows jihadists storming into a village and lopping off a mans head, it understates their atrocities. I dont know what has to be done to penetrate the thick skulls of the willfully ignorant, but the Taliban and their al-Qaeda allies are evil to a degree Americans (obviously) have trouble comprehending. Ive relayed this litany before, but it bears repeating. Heres a (partial) list of al-Qaeda actions in my units area of operations between 20072008: Decapitating women and children, recording the murders up-close, and shrieking Allah Akhbar as they sawed off each innocent head; shooting an infant in the face with an AK-47 as a warning against collaboration with Americans; raping women to dishonor them, then strapping bombs on their bodies as the only way they could redeem themselves; and putting bombs in unwitting childrens backpacks then remotely detonating them at family events. Lets also not forget the years-long suicide-bombing campaigns where civilians werent collateral damage they were the target.
