>>> today we learned a former member of navy s.e.a.l. team six has written a book about the bin laden raid. the book is already raising a lot of eyebrows in the special operations community where they decidedly do not talk about their work, which may explain why this book titled "no easy day" is being written under an anonymous, made-up pen name . it will be released on september 11th . the pentagon says the author is no longer under active duty.
