Navy SEAL charity turns down proceeds from bin Laden book - U.S. News

A controversy erupted when a former Navy SEAL, going by the pen name "Mark Owen," co-authored "No Easy Day," a book about the infamous event that killed the al-Qaida leader. Pentagon officials allege the book, which was released on Tuesday, contains sensitive and classified information.

On its website, The Navy SEAL Foundation said it "will not be accepting any donations that are generated from the book or any related activities.

Yup and the only reason is to protect its 501 tax status. If the DOD doesnt go after Owen legally or if the y do and lose then you can bet down the line they will be getting money.

In my own humble opinion nothing classified was released. More intell was released to the press by the White House than was ever in the book. They even featured the story as a made for TV film/special.
Obama would sell his own grandmother's pacemaker if he thought it would make bleeding heart libs happy....
I guess.....if you can't PUT OUT....you better gets the hell out!

The SEALs also declared that the book version of the raid and bin ladens death is incorrect.
