'No Easy Day' was recently reviewed by the Defense Department according to CNN, to ensure that it contained no classified information, however, it soon followed up with a letter to the author regarding specific breaches.

Analysis of 'No Easy Day'
It would seem that there are serious questions regarding the information contained in the account of the Navy SEAL raid on Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan. Should specific information regarding operations be 'leaked' to the general public, it could constitute a breach under federal law and endanger the lives of other operatives in the field. If a movie adaptation was made from the information contained in the book it could provide information about military operations to foreign governments.
