But on Thursday, Fox News ran an item with what it claimed was the author's true name. It even named the town where he lives. The network cited "multiple sources" in its reporting.

And you call yourselves patriots? Sounds more like traitors to me.

On Edit: I thought I should clarify that the author, and co-author Kevin Maurer, are not associated with OPSEC; the group of retired SF and CIA associated with recent political attacks against the Obama Administration.

FAUX should be investigated for breaching national security, the safety of the author, and ST6.

1. WTF are they trying to get him killed? NT

[leftyohiolib]

9. yes - he killed their much needed boogyman- remembr joe wilson?

[johnfunk]

22. Yes. Doing anything that might make the Kenyan Muslim Socialist look good is a capital offense.

[naaman fletcher]

2. I really don't believe any of it.

I think this is all manufactured news. I think the book was written by DOD PR guys. This is part of the spin to get people talking about the "book" which is really just a massive PR/recruitment tool.

I wouldn't really believe a single word of it besides "Navy Seals, Afghanistan, Helicopters, and Bin Laden"

[Trunk Monkey]

11. what about

Combat boots, steel pot, M16 and Nasty MRE's ?

[naaman fletcher]

21. ok, maybe those too. nt

[Roy Rolling]

3. so

Who cares?

[Posteritatis]

6. Apparently people other than you do. (nt)

[Roy Rolling]

10. touche

I guess I mean, just because Fox makes it a sensational story doesn't mean anybody should care. In fact, if they want something promoted I would make it a point to ignore them.

[Blue State Bandit]

13. By releasing the name and hometown of the author, they may be inadvertently promoting the book, but

they are also painting a target on the authors head, and risk provoking retaliatory action that may effect more than just the author, but his family, friends, former teammates, and neighbors.

They are courting a possible mass casualty attack, and I am appalled.

[Iliyah]

15. Fake news don't care, look what they said about

the abortion doctor, Dr. Tiller. Talking about blood on their hands.

[Blue State Bandit]

17. Got'ta appreciate it when "Fake News" becomes the news...

as the old journalism warning goes.

[heaven05]

4. yeah

and at the very least, hated on by wackos who see this person as backing our President. Faux news should be brought up on some kind of charges and/or roundly criticized. But, never happen. Email faux now, snakes!!!!!!!!!

[SoapBox]

5. Traitor...

and could care less about "honor" etc.

He's only interested in gett'n that non-white guy out of The WHITE House.

He should be rendered to GITMO.

[Posteritatis]

7. I'm ... reasonably sure not all the SEALs are in on that Swift Boat II thing, you know. (nt)

[Blue State Bandit]

14. I agree, if you mean sending...

Justin Fishel, his editor, and Roger Ailes to Gitmo.

[johnfunk]

24. I would settle for sending Fishel, his producer, and Ailes to...

... what was so subtly referred to in Mike Judge's film masterpiece "Office Space" as "federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison!"

[Blue State Bandit]

26. Turn them into cigarette machines in county lock-up!

I'd be more than satisfied with that.

[Laurian]

8. I wonder if Fox is out to sabotage the book because they think it might

present the President in a positive light, thus neutralizing their birther Seals.

[OKNancy]

12. that's what I'm thinking

If it was a negative account, they wouldn't have done this IMO

[Posteritatis]

16. I figured that's why. If it was critical and the real name came out they'd be furious. (nt)

[rtracey]

18. Well...

Remember what the Republican White House did to Valerie Plame. These F'n Republicans don't care who they hurt as long as they get what they want...money, power, greed, too name a few..... ass wipes

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

19. Maybe Fox News should be praised this time ...

... for identifying a traitorous ex-SEAL who's trying to profit from disclosing state secrets.

It all depends on what's actually in the book. If it's a fictional account by someone not associated with the actual mission, then let him rake in some money for being an entertainer. If it's a detailed and accurate account that reveals state secrets, then it doesn't matter that his name's revealed, maybe he'll be moved somewhere safer, like Leavenworth.

23. Proceeds to be donated to families of fallen SEALs.

Sorry, but, fail.

[johnfunk]

25. Not just fail...

[div sty;e="text-align:center;"]
[b style="font-size:5em;color:red;font-family:Times, Times New Roman, serif;"]EPIC fail!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

28. "... a small amount ..."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Easy_Day

I'll be surprised if families of fallen SEALs see any money. I hope I'm wrong.

[Marrah_G]

20. Fucking fox........... yeah, real fucking patriotic they are

[oldsarge54]

27. Karl Rove

If Karl Rove is the Goebbels of the Republican Party, ask him about CIA agents sometime. Fox, always tells the truth, just half of it. The half that fits their agenda.
