A former US Navy Seal who wrote a bestseller about his role in the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden is to pay nearly $7m (£5m) to the government for violating non-disclosure agreements.
Matt Bissonette failed to get clearance from the Pentagon before the book No Easy Day was published in 2012.
He has agreed to forfeit all profits and royalties, as well as film rights and speaking fees.
In exchange, the government will dismiss other liability claims.

I think that's all the confirmation anyone needs that you are operating under witch-hunt logic.

Naturally you can't argue with facts and the truth - the truth wins out over lies when both are exposed to scrutiny and the lies break down.
Of course, what difference at this point does it make?
