The majority of the proceeds from the book will go to charities that support families of fallen Navy SEALs, the publisher said.

But the coming book on the bin Laden raid appeared to catch officials off guard.

"We learned about this book today from press reports. We haven't reviewed it and don't know what it says," White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said.

The Pentagon said it hadn't vetted the book or helped provide information to the authors. There are at least two Pentagon regulations requiring the Defense Department review writings by retired troops that contain sensitive material.

"This book came as a surprise to folks at the Pentagon," a senior defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said. "Naturally, we'll be interested to read the book when it is made available."


That must be making a lot of people very nervous. Good.
