My Comment: I think most people do not care how Bin Laden was killed (myself included) .... but I do know that the White House does, and more to the point those who handle the message for this President do. In my opinion .... even though he denies the political aspect of his book .... Ex-SEAL Matt Bissonnette knew that his book "No Easy Day" was going to irk many in the White House, Pentagon, and their media supporters .... but I suspect that he did not know how "irked" they have become in having their carefully cultivated message undermined and discredited. My prediction .... when the book is released on the week of the Democrat convention .... there are going to be a lot of "pissed-off" people.
