Talkback: Does Hollywood making a bin Laden movie warrant an investigation by the Inspector General and the Department of Defense?

Although Kathryn Bigelow's movie about the capture of Osama bin Laden has yet to begin production, it is already stirring controversy.

Yesterday, Representative Peter King (R-NY) called for an investigation into whether the White House has granted Bigelow and Sony Pictures special access to confidential information for the project.

Jay Carney, White House spokesman, dismissed this request as "ridiculous," asserting, "When people are working on articles, books, documentaries or movies that involve the president ask to speak to administration officials we do our best to accommodate them to make sure the facts are correct."

The film is set to be released in October 2012, one month before the November elections.
