Pentagon warns Navy SEAL who shot Bin Laden not to reveal himself on Fox News

Of course they do. Only the White House can make movies about the Bin Laden raid and share classified data in order to get him reelected:

BUSINESS INSIDER – On Wednesday, Fox News announced it planned to reveal the identity of the Navy SEAL who shot Osama Bin Laden in a documentary set to air next month.

However, in a statement issued to Business Insider the Pentagon stressed that anyone who participated in the 2011 operation that left the Al Qaeda leader dead was “still bound” by a “non-disclosure agreement to not discuss classified information, especially in a nationally televised interview.”

This seems to indicate the SEAL could face a criminal investigation for participating in the documentary.

The statement came from Navy Commander Amy Derrick-Frost, a Defense Department spokeswoman, who said the military had not confirmed that the person participating in the Fox News documentary was indeed the SEAL who fired the fatal shot at Bin Laden.

However, Derrick-Frost spoke generally about whether that person would be allowed to discuss the operation on television. She began by noting that all members of the military would sign non-disclosure agreements.

“If in fact this individual was associated with the military unit that carried out the UBL raid, which is yet to be determined, he is still bound by his non-disclosure agreement to not discuss classified information, especially in a nationally televised interview,” Derrick-Frost said.
