Navy SEAL to release book on bin Laden raid, publishing company says

http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/22/us/navy-seal-book-bin-laden/index.html


i need to get this off my chest, IMO i believe this is another attempt by right wing to try and tear down the Pres.'s accomplishment that they couldn't and rehash the leak allegations, remember their only chance is to make him look bad but that only works if they don't get caught with their hands in the mix.
U.S. Special Operations Command has not reviewed the book or approved it, the official said. Officials only recently became aware the former SEAL was writing a book but were told it encompasses more than just the raid and includes vignettes from training and other missions.
They would like to see a copy, the official said, to make sure no classified information is released or the book contains any information that might out one of the team members.
Officials have been told that some of the profits are going to charity.
we know there are traitorous to their commitment to serve the President as commander and chief. combatants like the one's cheering Hank Williams Jr. redneck hater, you can take them out of the fray but you can't take the fray out of them. i know first hand from my military experience not an assumption.  if this is indeed derogatory to the Pres. it is not a hard math problem to put two and two together, they are losing, desperate and losing.
 The U.S. official said that the team then entered the third-floor room where bin Laden was, along with his Yemeni wife and several young children. The al Qaeda leader was moving, possibly toward one of the weapons that were in the room, when he was shot, first in the chest and then in the head. He never had a gun in hand but posed an imminent threat, according to the U.S. official.
Bin Laden's body was flown to the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, then in the North Arabian Sea. After DNA tests and further confirmations of his identity, he was buried at sea within 12 hours of his killing "in conformance with Islamic precepts and practices," White House press secretary Jay Carney said.
President Obama met with some of the Navy SEALs, often referred to as SEAL Team Six and officially as the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
Opinion: Are 'Swift Boat' attacks on Obama bogus?
7 figure advance at what price allegiance?
