A Navy SEAL is releasing the real story on the Osama Bin Laden raid.
For the first time a member of SEAL Team 6 has written a book setting the record straight on the raid on Osama Bin Ladens compound in Pakistan. The book was not authorized by the Obama Administration and will give the real story not told by the Obama-media. The book was vetted by a former special operations attorney. The majority of the proceeds from the book will go to charities that support families of fallen Navy SEALs. Reuters reported:
The U.S. government was surprised by the news that a Navy SEAL who participated in the raid on Osama bin Ladens 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.

New York Times writer Maureen Dowd said film-makers had "top-level access".
Everything this administration does is political. Everything.
I saw this on Drudge last night and immediately pre-ordered it. Can’t wait!
Stand back, Rocky, it’s President Rambo!
Hmmmm, now this could get interesting. Methinks Hollyweird might have to revamp their movie about the raid as the version they got came from the White House, and the Seal’s book that is coming out in September most likely tells a very different tale. In order words, the White House version of the raid as told to their Hollyweird pals, was undoubtedly padded, inflated, disingenuous, misleading, full of lies, etc. etc., and most likely will not match up well with the true story that is coming out, written by a Seal who was actually there.
I suspect the screenwriters for the movie version will be frantically rewriting their scripts immediately after this book hits the market, and scenes will have to be reshot to conform with the actual truth of the event, not the spin version given by the White House. Chortle, a cog is being thrown into the White House/Hollywood’s wheel.
The more that I hear and read about Jarrett the madder I get. Who vetted her a** anyway . . . oh whoops, sorry I forgot that vetting is not acceptable within the Odumbo administration, it wouldn’t be PC.
It is highly unlikely that Zero Dark Thirty will be altered on the basis of this book.
Whenever I think about Obama in any military situation, I picture him more like Brave Sir Robin from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. With the media minstrels singing of all his mighty deeds.

That was my first thought also. It sounds a little like he doth protest too much.
I'll bet he hired someone to glorify him in the book.
We now know from several different sources that Obama has no problem with "re-writing history"! It has been reported that his Administration inserted mention of "our Dear Leader's accomplishments" into the biographies of former Presidents and also into (State Department?) accounts detailing the history of several nations.
It should therefore be no surprise that the "narrative" his administration has given to the Hollyweird writers might be "slightly" at odds with what really happened.
I just hope this novel does what we all hope and pray it will: expose the truth--and not anything that could help and/or embolden our enemies ( Obama included)!
“It was not vetted by government agencies to ensure that no secrets were revealed.”
Obama already illegally released the most significant classified infomration about the raid. This SEAL can do little harm past that.
It is highly unlikely that Zero Dark Thirty will be altered on the basis of this book.
If there are discrepancies between the two versions, Hollyweird will have to conform to the soon to be released book’s version or else all those troops involved in the raid will be screaming out to the public about any lies found in the movie version, which will make the Obama Admin look very, very bad.
2016 opens this weekend in over 1100 theaters. More than Swiftboating has begun. Jarrett and the nest of traitors in our White House will have a bad case of diarrhea on Monday.
Great point! Hollywood got their version from the WH. Hollywood’s only motive is to make money. If they can get this “author” to sell them movie rights, with the guarantee they’ll follow the book to a “T”, they’ll turn on obama in a heartbeat.
Let me qualify what I just said. It is possible that the Obama Admin just handed over the actual transcripts of the event to the movie makers, thus completely spilling the beans on the allegedly “secret” raid, giving up state secrets in contravention of law. If that was the case, then there would be little editing upon the book having been released for publication, as the two would match up.
However, that would be an even more ghastly scenario, because if the movie and the book match up almost perfectly, therein lies the proof that the Obama Admin gave away actual secret mission information with impunity to an outside party, putting any future missions in jeopardy, and thus they should be brought up on treason charges for having done so.
