In No Easy Day, the book written by the Navy Seal about getting Bin Laden, he stated that they trained in North Carolina. If you go to Google Maps and put in these coordinates at Harvey Point Defense Testing (CIA training facility) there is nothing but an clearing in a field. If you go to the lower link in Virtual Globetrotting and look at the same location it appears to be the mock up training facility for the Bin Laden raid. It is not completed in the photo, but there is enough built to say it is an almost exact copy of Bin Laden's compound.

If they used this for the raid planning and in the book he describes it also as an intelligence centre and where the raid was planned and also had the mock-up model.. wouldn't it be classified?

Surely the author (a SEAL) can go to Leavenworth?

It wasn't approved, I doubt they could restrict publication anyway in the same way they couldn't stop NY Times publishing classified cables..

Well that's pretty cool. I guarantee if you showed a tin-foil-wearing person that they would still would say the raid never happened, bin laden was already dead, ectect.

Also it seems they've removed the imagery that shows the compound from Google Earth. There's a gap from 3/17/2010 with just a field, to 1/30/2012 with the training site cleared.

Really? They don't have ANY legal ground?

I thought you had to sign something similar to a non-disclosure agreement when you got your security clearance.

You do and the guy who wrote the book would most likely be up for charges I'm sure if they pursued it.

They can't actually stop the publishing though, it's protected by the 1st amendment. The only illegal act is leaking, publishing is not illegal and can't be stopped unless there is an imminent risk to national security and even then it can only be stopped temporarily.

well, let's be realistic - we both know that no matter what the laws say, they'd stop the publishing if they wanted to.

The guy who wrote it does and he would go to prison, the publisher (newspaper, book publisher) etc who actually prints it is protected by 1st amendment.

Well last I heard, they were CONSIDERING pursuing charges against him. So they potentially have a case, but they didn't go after him immediately probably because he didn't write anything that was a risk to national security.

I just finished the book last night. The author did breach his non-disclosure agreement. I only have a Secret clearance, the author has/had a TS/SCI.

He did not submit the manuscript to DOD for review prior to release which was another violation. I wouldn't be surprised if he does some time, though it's been a while and I haven't heard much more about him.

SOFREP released an eBook titled NO EASY OP which was written in response to NO EASY DAY. Being an eBook, it's available in Kindle format, or you can get a (free) Kindle cloud. I didn't see any truly free versions in pdf or anything else.

You don't forfeit your freedom of speech. You agree to not share facts that are deemed sensitive.

Also, at the end of the book, he lists many sources where the same information can be found. Unclassified sources that is.

Part of his gripe is that it was TS all the way up to the actual mission (couldn't even tell other SEALs); then after it was over, shit started leaking out rapidly. His claim is that it was from Washington.

The other part of that is that he says there were so many false reports about what actually happened, he felt compelled to set the whole thing straight, (not an exact quote but the jist) "without leaking sensitive material".

I'm of the firm belief that non-disclosure agreements are unconstitutional.

The founding fathers would agree, anything that violates your rights is Illegal.

It is and should be. I'm not quite sure why action hasn't been taken. I also don't know the confines of a SEAL contract. Throughout the book he focused more on the SEAL (action) side of things vice the really TS shit, the collection/INTEL portion. So he definitely didn't cross any HUGE boundaries. I just figure they aren't allowed to talk about missions at all for a certain period of time as a general rule. I'd be surprised if that wasn't in their contract.

Also, that's the beauty of SCI. The SEAL that wrote the book knows NOTHING of how anyone gained the INTEL they acted on.
