What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNetanyahu now wants a criminal probe of the people in this NAZA film, and I only half understood today. What actually happened?

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTwenty-four? That's a full bus.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTheir identities are anonymous, which is the whole problem. Nobody has said who they are.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDoes this affect me, or just the people in the film?
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorUnless you were interviewed for it, probably not.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe story is about Israel's government and its own military, and nothing in the data touches your commute.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWhat happens next? Do they just look for twenty-four people who are hiding?
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is the open question, and nobody knows yet how an investigation would find anonymous people. Does the film get a sequel?
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe sequel is now a court case.
