Conservative author and writer Mark Steyn appeared on Monday's broadcast of FOX News "Hannity" to discuss the trail of a movie that some are claiming to be the source of outrage in the Middle East.

"It's got nothing to do with the video and there's always a video; there's always a cartoon; there's always a teddy bear; there's always some pretext for the mob to go crazy," Steyn told Hannity.

Steyn said it the amount of law enforcement that was sent to retrieve the filmmaker compared to the amount of security around the murdered U.S. ambassador to Libya was "absolutely disgraceful."

"And it's absolutely disgraceful the site that you just showed here, of those guys, those armed guys, going at midnight on a weekend to take this filmmaker in for questioning. You know, if the ambassador in Benghazi had that level of armed force, he'd still be alive today," Steyn said.

Who leaked his name to the press? Criminal act.

What they're doing is absolutely going to endanger the lives of Americans because they're actually confirming the mob's thesis that the government is responsible for the content of the movie."

Obama understands Muslims. Steyn does too. What Obama's saying by his actions is the United States is responsible for what private citizens do ... Obama knows that positon will inflame the situation. So why is he doing this?

I thought I heard the film was a Michael Moore project.
