"The book went through the legal process. The guy has committed no crime."

More lies from you. The book of leaks was approved by the CIA itself. That doesn't make it legal. The book included *conclusions* drawn from Agent Scheuer's classified work while at the CIA on the taxpayers' payroll.

Adding a textual "disclaimer" that says that said Bin Laden agent only used public sources is *not* a get out of jail card. It does *not* indemnify Scheuer.

Scheuer partook of forbidden fruit. He published conclusions and assessments from his classified CIA work.

He thinks that he can claim "public sources" and get away with his treason. It won't work.

Nor will the wonks who approved his book escape unscaithed. We're doing some house-cleaning, and the traitors at the CIA are getting thrown out with the trash...though that's somewhat insulting to plain old everyday trash itself...

These are not lies. These are facts you are unhappy with.

The CIA vetted the book. The author is off the hook, and he is not being prosecuted for treason.

The author does not have to agree with the administration's public assessments of Bin Laden.

Indeed, it is good to have some different points of view.
