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.
It is highly unlikely that Zero Dark Thirty will be altered on the basis of this 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)!
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.
