> Earlier today, we [posted](http://www.newshounds.us/fox_news_publishes_real_name_location_of_navy_seal_author_of_bin_laden_book_08242012) about Fox News outing the name and location of the Navy SEAL involved in the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden – and who had written a book about his experiences under a pseudonym. Now we learn that websites affiliated with Al Qaeda have posted the man’s name and photo with calls for revenge. (h/t [Think Progress)](http://thinkprogress.org/security/2012/08/24/743941/qaeda-seal-bin-laden-revenge/)

The posts called for his “destruction” in revenge for the al-Qaida founder’s killing.**
> NBC also reported that the Dutton, the publisher of the SEAL’s upcoming memoir asked news outlets not to report his name.

Calling for his “destruction” on a website and actually being able to do something about it are two vastly different things. I’m sure the former Navy SEAL would love to have some “visiotrs” to his home post retirement. Gotta keep the skills sharp.

Agreed. The press is supposed to report the news not create it.

If you write a book about it, I don’t think the news is fully to blame.
