The author of a recently announced insider account of the raid that killed Usama bin Laden has been identified to Fox News as a 36-year-old former Navy SEAL Team 6 member from Alaska who also played a role in the high-profile rescue of an American captain kidnapped by Somali pirates. The book, "No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden," is set to hit shelves on Sept 11. It is penned under the pseudonym "Mark Owen," according to the publisher, but multiple sources told Fox News his name is in fact Matt Bissonnette, 36, of Wrangell, Alaska. Bissonnette could be

Heres the thing I cant stop thinking: Barack Obama couldnt even hold a job that required him to sign this form and yet hes Commander in Chief. Sad.
That is probably just what the fuss is about. This guy is scooping Barry 0'Blitzkrieg.
All proceeds are going to the families of wounded or killed Navy Seals. There is not a nickel in it for the Operator/ Author!
Whoever released this is responsible for the life and possible death of the Navy Seal and his family.
Well, you might be right...we’ll find out his motivation soon enough.
I just think that between the damn admin and the sycophantic press, the leaks our brave troops have to endure are outrageous and it needs to be called on.
Hence the email to Fox protesting the outing.
Giving Barack Hussein 0bama ANY security clearance above ‘CONFIDENTIAL’ nullifies all other security clearances, just like giving illegal aliens driver’s licenses nullifies all other driver’s licenses as a form of I.D.
Whoever did this will be responsible for any misfortune that may befall THEMSELVES! It’s not like they ratted out some local punk, they have messed with the most proficient predators on the planet. I say good luck to them and watch your 6!
Exactly!
BTTT
The articles I read said that a MAJORITY of the profits will go to the charity. A small, yet important, detail.
Cool, I think this is about much more than money. There is to much at stake.
I find it hard to believe she got it cleared with higher ups. It just is not their MO to endanger military personal.
Well with the exception of Geraldo who drew battle plans in the dust during the Iraq War.
His name is news and Fox is a cable NEWS network. He chose to try and remain anonymous and still publish his book. He should have known better. Ryan Zinke and those otherSpec Ops have voluntarily come forward to indict Obama and his crew. No one among these SEALs and Spec Ops people including the author is on active service. As for the code of honor someone else cited, that would only have been broken by another SEAL or mission participant. A civilian DoD planner is not bound by such codes, and could even have been ordered to leak the info.
I want that named released too, so I can judge for myself the merits of the release.
You should not be surprised. It is simply a fact, ignored by the rest of state-run media, that Whalid bin-Talal, News Corp’s largest private stockholder, long ago boasted of his control over Fox's editorial policy. News Corp also owns the Wall Street Journal.
Not coincidentally the same Whalid bin-Talal, was described by former NY Assemblyman, former Malcolm X attorney, Percy Sutton, as Obama’s patron at Columbia and Harvard. Sutton was asked by Mansour to use his considerable influence to get Barry into Harvard. Sutton was proud to help. Bin-Talal's legal agent was Khalid al-Mansour, known during his years at Berkeley's Boalt Hall, as Don Warden, intellectual founder of the Black Panthers, a virulent black nationalist whose radio diatribes were drawn from the sames sources as those of Rev. Wright. (He often used the "kill white women and their babies because their babies become the solders of the infidels" theme.) It is the same Whalid bin-Talal who offered Rudy Giuliani $10 million after 9/11, and who donated $20 million to Harvard after Barack was admitted, and whose Whalid bin-Talal Islamic Studies Center is now Harvard Divinity School's largest division.
Money talks, and silences people whose careers could disappear in a phone call.
Spaulding, do you remember when Mr. Talal was outed on FOX & Friends as being the world’s top financial supporter and funder of schools to radicalize potential violent Islamists? Only to discover after the show who Talal was, that he was the second largest owner of News Corp stock, a fellow billionaire of Murdock’s. And ultimately “the boss” along with Murdock? And then the charge completely disappeared.

The Parent Company Trap
Episode #15107
Fox News is either evil or stupid for not mentioning that Alwaleed bin Talal is News Corp.’s largest shareholder. (09:39)

I am no longer surprised to learn that there are others at FR who know more about a topic about which I happen to have a superficial recollection. Thanks. I did not know about the incident at FOX and Friends, and have never actually seen the show. Thanks. It shows that many of those who appear to be on one side or the other of the political spectrum are simply ignorant. Bin-Talal was not an issue for the Obama media.
I happen to have been a student at Berkeley when Don Warden was at Boalt, and heard a fair number of his diatribes on days when his show was broadcast by a local jazz station. Rather than change the station (too often I was under my car or doing some chore that made changing the station inconvenient). Warden/al-Mansour was a glib speaker with a convincing grasp of a history most had never heard. White people were to be eliminated, starting with women and children. The original Jews were black, including Jesus, and were systematically exterminated by European white devils who invaded the birthplace of humanity. When I learned Warden and Mansour were the same person, and that Mansour had been employed by bin-Talal to recruit for Wahhabi Islam, and had recruited Soetoro while he was at Occidental, it sounded plausible. When Mansour boasted about his friendship with Obama beginning at Occidental, there was no doubt. Percy Sutton seems like an honest man, and was certainly not senile, as claimed by Obama supporters, when interviewed by NY Public Interest Television. This is a very plausible story too volitile for the media, but confirmed by both Sutton and Mansour, and by the public record of bin-Talal's donations to Harvard.
As some pundit intoned, follow the money. The Saudi’s can't defend themselves, and have lots of our money as long as our political class constrains our ability to achieve energy independence. We can't read minds, and don't know Barry's motivations. He is clearly helping the Sunni Saudi Family who funded his education, and was certainly at one time a Sunni Muslim himself in Indonesia. It is no suprise that Sunni wealth directed at Harvard is a non-issue for the press, or that Malcolm X's lawyer, in spite of his perfectly clear explanation, and pride in helping Obama to achieve his position of influence, is a non-issue to both parties.
Politics is a business. Both parties have benefit from the largess of the Saudi family. The only obviously illegal aspect of their influence is that to put their proxy in office required the suppression of the Constitutional requirement that presidents be born to parents who were citizens of the US. Every US Senator confirmed that fact when they all signed Senate Res. 511 in April of 2008. It is no coincidence that Obama's advisor at Harvard Law, Larry Tribe, wrote the letter to argue that the ineligible McCain should be treated as a natural born citizen, even if the law says otherwise. Using McCain was the brilliant tactic that prevented the vetting of Obama. Both 2008 Senate actions to proclaim McCain's eligibility were filed by Obama campaign co-director Clair McCaskill. The media refused to speak about it, except to ridicule those caught up in the futile search for a legitimate birth certificate. It is just the ploy used by Chester Arthur, who always had a birth certificate from New Hampshire, but hid it so that the preoccupation would distract from the secret that Arthur's father was a British subject until Arthur was 14 - clearly in violation of Article II Section 1. It is a sham for which we are paying the price, a price which has not yet been fully revealed. Our founders and framers knew what they were doing, and so do our enemies.
“It’s Bissonay.”
Ryan Zinke and those otherSpec Ops have voluntarily come forward to indict Obama and his crew.And this book being published completely undermines their efforts.
Hmmm.
