SEAL's Book Evoke New War?

Release of SEAL book could ignite fight with the Pentagon

(CNN) -- The much-anticipated memoir of a Navy SEAL who helped kill Osama bin Laden hits bookshelves Tuesday to an eager audience whose pre-orders have already put the book at No. 1 on Amazon's bestseller list for two weeks.
But the Pentagon may not be as eager to see the release of "No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden."
Last week, the Pentagon general counsel threatened legal action against the former Navy SEAL who wrote the revealing book.
In a letter addressed to "Mark Owen," the pen name of book's author Matt Bissonnette, General Counsel Jeh Charles Johnson alleged the writer violated secrecy agreements and broke federal law.
