Ayyy-pee: Ex-SEAL to pay $6.6 million to settle case over book
The former Navy SEAL who wrote a book about his role in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden will pay the government more than $6.6 million for violating non-disclosure agreements and publishing without getting the document cleared by the Defense Department, according to federal court documents.$6.6 million? What proportion is that of the author's royalty? The book triggered a Justice Department probe, including claims it contained classified material. Bissonnette had signed non-disclosure agreements during his service as a SEAL, and he took part in a number of highly secret operations including the bin Laden raid. Under the agreement, Bissonnette said he would acknowledge he made a mistake by failing to submit the book for pre-publication review. And in exchange for the payments, the U.S. government has dismissed other liability claims. Silly SEAL. Trod on reserved turf. Absolutely beyond the pale. These people are loathsome and disgusting.
