A former Navy SEAL's insider account of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden contains classified information, the Pentagon said Tuesday, and the admiral who heads the Naval Special Warfare Command said details in the book may provide enemies with dangerous insight into secretive U.S. operations.

Bullcrap. The admin is going after this guy because HE got the truth out before Kathyrn Bigelow and her Hollywood movie tribute to Obamugabe's version hits theaters.

The media NEVER has questioned whether Obamugabe is using the
military for political purposes when he has them advising Hollywood on the bin Laden film....but swallows hook line and sinker the Team BO assertion that this veteran is a traitor.

Salvador Allende in Chile. Socialist to the core. But elected by the people with scales on their eyes, nonetheless. However, *issed off the military and democratic forces one too many times dragging his country further and further into a Che Guevara paradise for the non-producers. People in power around the world would be well advised to study history for one starters and don’t piss off a nation’s patriotic military while they are at it. It is a no-win proposition and eventually the tipping point, critical mass, can and will be reached.

The parenthetical portion of the thread title nailed it!

Allende never published a EO ordering the nationalized portion of the healthcare system (VA and TRICARE) to classify 100,000 “additional” vets and military members into mental health treatment by the end of this year

Of course mental health patients lose rights to buy and own guns and are subject to other monitoring and perhaps future restrictions

My bet is that the op was going down, that Panetta (then DCI) and DOD had it rolling before Jarrett and DuhWon could shut it down.

When BO found out, all he could do was claim credit for it or denounce it, and the latter would have had him out before the election.

Maybe sensitive info is touched upon, but by announcing that, the administration let everyone know and the book is sure to sell smartly to the jihaditypes, too.

This author’s error was not first getting a job for the Administration, then all secrets exposed would be A-OK, lost lives or not.

Open thine wallet and aupport a former SEAL

Book proceeds go to military warriors and families

If the govt orders a redacted copy it will be a good comparison

I’m three chapters into it. The preface was a well written description of how the author used a former Spec Ops Lawyer to review the entire manuscript for any classified material. The author also takes into account how his Brothers may feel about the whole thing. My guess... We are watching an OP that is being run on this administration by some of the best in the world.

Right, and it's not like details of the raid have not been widely disseminated already?

And why were the armchair generals and REMF at the Pentagon not complaining about their Dear Leader when mere HOURS after the raid, he went public (for crass political purposes) thereby, negating any chance to act of timely actionable Intel the SEALS more than likely, captured at the compound?

Even worse, was making public which group (SEAL Team 6) was responsible for carrying out the raid.

It will remain to be seen (and should be very obvious from reading) what if any, sensitive details the author has revealed. Until I read it and see reaction from other SPECOP types, I'll withhold judgement.

“the book may provide enemies with dangerous insight into secretive U.S. operations.”

Like what? First we kill you then we shoot you some more and then we sit on your dead bod in the chopper just before we dump er bury you at sea? Then we lie about it.

I would have been OK with the truth all along.
