What do you think about FOX exposing the identity of a SEAL who wrote about the Bin Laden killing? Was it responsible?
-
The now outed member authored a book under a pseudonym titled, “No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama bin Laden.” The response from Fox News is jaw dropping: “Once you write a book, anonymously or not, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy.” -John Moody, Executive Vice President & Executive Editor FOX News http://freakoutnation.com/2012/08/24/fox-news-jaw-dropping-response-after-revealing-identity-of-seal-team-six-member/

Answer:
It was irresponsible journalism and reporting but that comes as no shock at all given who we're talking about. But how the book was produced was also EXTREMELY irresponsible, so it's impossible to expect that this wasn't going to happen anyway.

Yes, I do think Fox was irresponsible for revealing this Navy Seal's real name. If course it doesn't surprise me because they aren't known for their ethical journalism practices. I believe people who want to write books using a pen name should be able to. Writers also hire ghost writers to help them with their work and don't reveal their names. Fox has put this soldier's life in jeopardy. How sad is that? And they talk about supporting the military? I'd hate to see them when they don't!

Names always have a way of coming out anyway! A firsthand account sounds like an interesting read.
