On August 31, 2012 Mark Hosenball and David Alexander from the Huffington Post wrote about the potential legal actions that might be taken against former Navy SEAL, Matt Bissonnette.The United States Defense Department is considering taking legal action against Bissonnette because of the non-disclosure violations he committed by writing a book called "No Easy Day" which contained some secrets on the raid on Bin Laden. These secrets were not available to the public and publishing this book will break some agreements he signed before serving his term. However, Bissonnette's lawyer argues that this book does not contain government secrets. For this reason, The Pentagon is debating whether there are sufficient grounds to punish the former war hero for his actions. Steven Spielberg had interests in turning the book into a movie but after this controversy, he no longer has these plans. The Book, "No Easy Day" is currently under review by The United States Defense Department. Their verdict will soon be announced. The government should be very careful of releasing this book to the public. If the book contains any government secrets, than our national security and our country's credibility is at stake.
