Reports surfaced Friday that the man known as "The Shooter" could face a criminal investigation for speaking to the news media
Insiders at Fox News Channel said Friday that a two-day documentary featuring an interview with the Navy SEAL who killed Osama Bin Laden will air as scheduled despite objections from the Pentagon.

If the man is now not in the military and willing to put himself out there and tell us all what happened, then screw the Pentagon, frankly. I’ve had a difficult time in believing this Administration’s story with respect to the disposition of the body and in the manner it was so quickly accomplished.
Having a little closure on this and to put a face on the disposition of the monster to show us WHO REALLY KILLED BIN LADEN (not Obama) is a good thing.
I don’t have a doubt that he can protect himself, and I feel, if he wants, that describing this to us IS in the national interest and goes well and beyond the need to keep its secrets for the benefit of Obama.
Kabuki theatre
Obola doesn’t want to share the limelight - we all know that he single-handedly took out Osama with a killer drive off the 9th tee. It was such a manly shot (Obola not wearing his ‘mom jeans’ that day) that it just happened to go all the way to ‘Pock-kee-stahn’ & hit Osama between the eyes. Any bullet holes in Osama were incidental to his demise.
I thought 60 Minutes did this a year ago.
Have to side with the Pentagon on this issue. The shooter was part of an elite assault team and not a lone assassin. The identity, nature and techniques of that team should not be centered on an individual who knowingly or unknowingly may divulge information that would endanger the safety and effectiveness of future operations.
Given there are several military memos out that instruct our guys to lay low and not draw attention to themselves or their families...I would tend to agree with the pentagon on this one for now.
Are they afraid this will disprove to millions of Americans that the great Obama put the gun to Osama’s head and killed him?
I actually wonder if this isn’t some Democrat play to try to improve their election chances some. I know it is Fox, but even they have plenty of lefty infiltrators. What better time to remind the voting public that Obama killed Osama!
I have become an extreme cynic because of the way politics is being done.
hmmm...”If the man is now not in the military adn willing to put himself out there and tell us what then screw the Pentagon”.
The Pentagon announced within these past few days that if
there was a FOX news broadcast of this information the individual would face criminal charges.
Where is FOX’S response? That faux news agency has not
issued one word in defense to this date & time.
Last I knew 30 went down in ‘copter crash & burn
Did I just go through a time warp or wasn’t Matt Bissonette revealed as the shooter almost 2 years ago? He wrote a book about it called “No easy day” which exposed the Osama/Obama scam as far as I’m concerned. I read the book and in it he says the guy he shot looked nothing like Bin-Laden which is more confirmation that the radical Muslim posing as our President scammed Seal Team 6 by having them kill an imposter and why Bissonette is now under a “criminal” investigation no doubt instigated by the radical Muslim posing as our President. When people insist to me that Bin-Laden is dead I tell them “Show me the proof”. The FACT is there is not ONE shred of evidence the slimebag is dead, not ONE.
Mega mistake ...
Without releasing a picture of the body and other supporting evidence, if any, we’ll never know what really happened.
I’m not so sure I like this guy speaking out either. It sort of undermines the ‘team’ aspect of what they do. If this dude really cashes in on this, it could create a temptation for guys to try to get in position for the key ‘kill shot’ and undermine the overall mission. I’d like to think they are above that, and most probably are, but they ARE humans after all.
Many layers to this one:
It was a classified operation which means participants can not confirm or deny details EVEN if elements of the story have been made public.
HOWEVER, the administration went to great lengths to publish extraordinary details FOR POLITICAL BENEFIT.
I’m guessing he’s been advised that the administration has forfeit it’s “classified” meme, especially if they lied.
bin Laden is dead and even the Jihadists don’t need bin Laden anymore. The Pentagon people need to get a life. I doubt that the NAVY SEAL has anything for the Pentagon to fear years after the fact. Unless there’s plenty of lying in the details, which I hope isn’t the case. Also, were they mad when “No Easy Day” or “Zero Dark Thirty” came out. Bizarros, really.
Sorry. The pentagon already released the operational details over a year ago. Remember
The stories and The virtual site and helo approach.
What are they going to do bug their reporter’s cell phones?
The identity, nature and techniques of that team should not be centered on an individual who knowingly or unknowingly may divulge information that would endanger the safety and effectiveness of future operations.......................................................... Like he’s going to do that?? I think not. I’m sure he knows better. I wish we had some inside info on Benghazi that can be brought to the surface. Anything to stop the Screecher’s and Slick’s return.
Well, Sandy Berger stuffed TOP SECRET documents with Clinton notes written in the margins that he stole from the national archives and then secreted them (so he said) in some junk file cabinets or something. He never got one day of jail - lost his clearance for a while, and to my knowledge has not been otherwise hampered.
To my mind, keeping America from being able to put a face (other than the ONE) on the demise of that monster is essential. They have allowed movies, books and all manner of publicity - as long as Obama can be connected with it and become the final comeback from a low information voter (he got Osama) when all their arguments against sanity go up in smoke.
At least Fox is willing to air it - you won’t find anyone else in Obama Media willing to do the same.
Watch out for exploding cars that hit trees
The Special Operators that I know would just as soon not have this publicity. The Administration let out too many details in the first place. In this day..with IS threatening people on the net..who wants to have our Special Operators identified? The ones I know have been working on this long war for 13 years now and have lost many friends…and aren’t looking for publicity.
