Guy tries to give America a little insight to the bin Laden events by writing a book using a pseudonym so he can protect his identity and family. Fox New in their infinite wisdom decides they should out one of Seal Team 6. WTH....... Way to make an America hero the target of al qaeda.

Huffington post, NY Times? Not much credibilty there.

Sounds to me like he sort of outed himself by writing the book....

No book, no worry

I agree. I'm uneasy about Fox's little investigation, but the man should never have written the book.

Next thing you know the White House will out an active spy in Pakistan resulting in a life sentence.

I don't care that the guy has been outed, he's betrayed his Seal team by writing the book and selling out. Seals don't normally do this to each other and he's only doing it for the money and that disturbs me. No matter what Americans think, they do not have a right to every detail of every military operation. Bin Laden is dead, that should be enough. He knew he was doing something questionable otherwise he wouldn't have use a fake name so, bravo Fox for making him stand by what he wrote.

I don't care what anyone says, he didn't use the fake name to protect himself from Al Qaeda, he did it to protect himself from his former Seal team members.

Can't remember the last guy who gave out top secret aspects of the Bin Laden raid or who outed Seal Team 6 as the tip of the spear...oh wait.

Exactly. It's not like none of this info was already out there. And the guy definately wasnt the first SEAL to write a book. I don't think it was Fox News place to out the guy. The military could have easily figured out who wrote the book if they wanted to due to the limited number of people there. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the info probably came from DC.

Huffington Post just used his real name in their article. But I guess that's okay.

He had no business writing the book. You put yourself out there, you're going to be identified no matter how much you "say" you don't want that.

And the president had no business outing them but bad behavior doesn't excuse bad behavior. This is a no-no in their elite fraternity.
