Osama Book Contains Secrets, Claims Pentagon

If they'd just stayed quiet about it, "No Easy Day" might have faded away ...

The Pentagon says an embattled ex-SEAL's new book about the Osama bin Laden raid contains "sensitive and classified" information and it won't back down from a legal standoff with the writer and his publisher.

The Defense Department's top spokesman, George Little, confirmed for reporters Tuesday that the book "No Easy Day" includes secrets about U.S. special operations, a new objection beyond the Pentagon's initial point that its author, Matt Bissonnette, had violated his nondisclosure agreement.
