The reason I blogged on the news on bin Laden was a sneaking suspicion that the government wouldn’t dig an ex-SEAL writing a book on it. And that’s why I went back and got the original news accounts in order to show that the book actually is saying very little, as so far cited, that the Pentagon itself didn’t already say about the actual shooting. It will have other details of course.
So now it’s not too surprising that the Pentagon is pressuring the writer to shut up and stop selling the book. It’s part of a general pattern these days of heavy-handed suppression. These people are really uptight.
