“No Easy Day” is the story of how SEAL Team Six killed Osama.

The night Osama Bin Laden was killed is a night that will live in infamy.  When the United States special operations team SEAL Team Six took down the world’s most-wanted man in an operation dubbed Operation Neptune Spear, it was global news.  Still, despite the newsworthiness of the event, not much is known about the raid on the Abbottabad, Pakistan, compound of Osama Bin Laden.  Even though someone live-tweeted the raid that killed Osama, the actual news from the boots on the ground has been kept closely under wraps on the order of the Department of Defense.  Well, apparently that gag order is being circumvented.  A Navy SEAL using the pseudonym Mark Owen has teamed with author Kevin Maurer to release a tell-all about the night Obama had Osama killed.

The book will be called, “No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission that Killed Osama Bin Laden,” and it will be released on September 11, 2012.  According to Pentagon regulations, all books containing potentially sensitive information written by military personnel must be reviewed by the Defense Department before publication.  According to the Pentagon, no copies of the book have been submitted for review yet.  The names have been changed to protect the innocent, but it’s still quite a risk for the publishers to square off against the Obama administration.

“The book was vetted by a former special operations attorney.  He vetted it for tactical, technical, and procedural information as well as information that could be considered classified by compilation and found it to be without risk to national security,” says Dutton spokeswoman Christine Ball; Dutton is a division of Penguin Group (USA).

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
