"In the opinion of the Ministry of defense, you violate the agreement on non-disclosure of confidential information, which was signed, according to military service", - the letter says. There shall be certified that the Pentagon in its turn intends to employ "all available legal methods".
Lawyer of the Pentagon also drew attention to the fact that several copies of the book have already spread before its official release. At the same time he warned of the author, acting under the pseudonym mark Owen, that the further distribution of the book will only aggravate his guilt.
The letter does not specify whether the disclosed the author of some specific tactical or technical developments, which are a state secret. It is implied that the experts of the Pentagon continue to study the text of the book.
Earlier the publishers of the book stated that the author showed the text of a competent lawyer, which is not found in the book of signs of disclosure of state secret. However, this version has yet to stand the test of experts of the Pentagon and the Ministry of justice of the USA.
The book "a tough day" ("No Easy Day"), tells about the operation to destroy "terrorist number one", to be published September 11, the anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks, organized by bin Laden. Version of the book's author (excerpts from it are already in the American media) is somewhat at odds with the official report, published by the Pentagon. In particular, the former "fur", wrote that the head of "al-Qaeda" purposefully finished, when he lay on the floor, still gave signs of life.
Soon after the news about the withdrawal of the book of journalists of the channel Fox News revealed the real name of the author, Matt Bissonnette. The photo of the former "seal" was posted on the website of "al-Qaeda" with the signature of "the dog that killed the Martyr Sheikh Osama bin Laden". This fact has caused in the mass media and the blogosphere serious fears that the Биссонету or one of his relatives may take revenge on the terrorists.
