How did you get that out of the article?

The guy was an idiot for thinking his name would never be revealed anyway. He just better hope he can stay out of jail for writing this book. Because he didn't did not get his manuscript approved, as required, by the Pentagon, the White House or the CIA.

So.... You're comparing little Bradley Manning releasing over 500,000 classified documents into the public domain in the single largest document dump of it's kind......with a Former Navy Seal writing a book about a single operation he was directly participating in?

It's interesting that others find even a remote connection between those....because I entirely miss that. I don't even see a passing comparison.

Although I will sure be interested in watching the Seal story develop. He would seem to be violating secrecy if he didn't have anything vetted...unless he's really THAT good at knowing precisely that Uncle considers sensitive and what isn't.

Personally, I'm calling it a sham, outright, if that book goes out into full distribution and nothing is done to stop it. (as the story is being told now, anyway) The Government has shown in the past how quickly and easily they can pull an entire book run and at the last moment too. This book releasing will tell me people in Government chose to allow it. I think someone can leak things to the net, perhaps....but "Leaking" a properly published and distributed book? Yeah Right..

That's not the point. Don't you see the hypocrisy? FOX news is a cheerleader against Wikileaks and Bradley Manning, saying they endanger the lives of our soldiers yet they are the first one to publicly reveal the private details of one of the dudes who killed Osama.

That's not what the article is about. It's about FOX leaking the author's real name and location. His book sounds pretty cool and uses all fictional names so it endangers nobody. FOX, on the other hand, was provided with a fake name and decided to use his real one, endangering the crap out of that Seal.

Oh okay, so it's NOT about Wikileaks, Assange or drawing any comparisons..... Gotcha.

I was a bit confused by your suggesting the topic outside the scope of the article you linked.

Now strictly on the isolated case of this Seal and the book and taking outside any other case or consideration which may have happened beyond that..Why yes, I think FOX was irresponsible if they broke his name first, without permission or clearance and intended it to be a unilateral news flash for that information.

I'm hoping I got your point......after all, your replies seem to indicate we've all missed your intention to one degree or another so far.

What you say may be true, however, I applaud this SEAL for telling the story. We only know what the Gub told us which is highly a fabrication anyways. We need more like him in my humble opinion.

My guess is that a member of the SF community outed him. This guy is essentially doing what the govt. was and breaching protocol by sharing secrets yes?

On the flip side I wouldn't be surprised if the book makes the admin look bad it wasn't a high up trying to get the book ripped off the shelves or send a stern warning to would be chatty cathy's.
