Lets not go there (hunger games thread). If you havent been watching cable news or clicking on links in the low content thread, you may not have heard about this book by a navy seal who fought pirates and was on the fateful raid that crashed a stealth helicopter in pakistan. So supposedly the govt hasnt read this book and is worried that he might have revealed classified information. My claim is: Seriously? Like, we have all these special operations forces, and no civil protections because of laws like the patriot act, and billions of dollars spent on the worlds largest clandestine paramilitary arm, and the us government cant find out if a seal revealed classified information until the book comes out? <p> perhaps this book is the second attempt. Remember the movie they were going to make and release right before the election? Remember how much criticism they got? Obviously it was too obviously targeted to give a flattering portrait of the administration, so they needed something similar but deniable this time.<p> maybe they just want to boost sales as a farewell favor to this guy.<p> maybe they already broke in and read the manuscript but none of the spooks are telling anybody because it wont matter, theres nothing classified in it so let the suits freak out for a bit.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
