I made my statement on the assumption classified material was included. If he was only rehashing open source info that's already been de-classified or leaked, the book wouldn't really be making much of a stir.

Again, admittedly it's an assumption on my part, but I would think that any new specific knowledge or information that this guy could offer by virtue of his status as a SEAL and participant in the mission would still carry at least a SECRET classification.

Thanks for the clarification.

Because the book has not been published/released, I have my own thoughts.

I think the SEAL will be providing a different perspective as to the mission and how it went down. I think it instructive when the author talks about the number of times they were stood up with a “go” order and then told to stand down. . .political in-fighting in the administration, for sure.

I think no new classified is leaked, or EEFI compromised.

I think embarrassment of the administration is certainly a given when it is revealed as indecisive, incompetent and downright gutless. . .then leaking the info. . .that is the most important part, the book will likely point out how the guys on the line were appalled at the leaks and the risk they were now facing because of partisan hacks trying to score points.

Cheers.
