U.S. says surprised by Navy SEAL's book on bin Laden raid

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. government was surprised by the news that a Navy SEAL who participated in the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan has written a book about the operation in which the al Qaeda leader was killed, U.S. officials said on Wednesday.

"No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission that Killed Osama Bin Laden" was written by a Navy SEAL under the pseudonym Mark Owen with co-author Kevin Maurer and is to be released next month on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

It was not vetted by government agencies to ensure that no secrets were revealed.

"The book was vetted by a former special operations attorney. He vetted it for tactical, technical, and procedural information as well as information that could be considered classified by compilation and found it to be without risk to national security," Christine Ball, a spokeswoman for the publisher, Dutton, told Reuters.

The book will be published at a time when Washington has been roiled by controversy over national security leaks ahead of the November 6 presidential election.

I can tell you what it says...Obama did not kill Osama and Obama was never there.

I heard that he was brave enough to pass on it twice...

;) ;)

... then someone came up with that cleverly-worded CYA memo.

Maybe Bill Ayers; he Wrights all the best stuff from the 57th state of OIHO where they speak Austrian, which explains why Obama says Corpse-Man, when he needs someone to help all the dead heroes that he sees in Asian Hawaii...
 
I know, I know....there really should have been a Republican in office when Bin Laden went down. It's somehow just not...right...that a liberal gets the credit.

Well, things went well, they deserve credit.

If things had gone bad, you would have seen...



LOOK! The Buck!


It's HIS fault

Many things might happen in the hypothetical world of counterfactual suppositions. ;)

I see that the horse race is tightening up. Will you still be placing your Leninist vote for the big O?
