REPORT: The Navy SEAL Who Shot Bin Laden Has Been Identified
Business Insider
By Hunter Walker and Armin Rosen

SOFREP, a well-regarded website dedicated to covering national security and the US special operations forces community, published a story on Monday naming a former member of Navy SEAL Team 6 as the person who will claim to have shot Al Qaeda founder Osama Bin Laden  in a Fox News documentary later this month.
The site released the name following a letter sent by two leaders of US Naval Special Warfare Command  to their team members on Friday in which they criticized any SEAL who would violate the elite force's "ethos" and go public about a mission.

That letter, also published by SOFREP, came two days after the announcement of the Fox News documentary,  which will be titled "The Man Who Killed Osama Bin Laden" and is set to air in two parts on Nov. 11 and 12.

According to SOFREP editor and former Army Ranger  Jack Murphy, the site spoke to "two independent sources" within the Navy Special Warfare Command "community" to verify that the person named in their story is the same one who will claim to be Bin Laden's killer on Fox News.

Business Insider is not naming the person identified by SOFREP as we have not confirmed his identity and he did not respond to our multiple requests for comment.

(...SNIPPED)
 
I saw the interview and my take is that he had bad advice and is paying the price among his peers.That said all military publications undergoes through intelligence vetting.Even speeches by senior officers are submitted before being presented.
 
Someone has a "Death Wish".  I am sure that there would never be a place where this person would feel safe, always looking over their shoulder, should the name be released.  A lone assassin loyal to Bin Laden will no doubt be lurking somewhere, looking for an opportunity to make a name for themself.
 
The Navy SEAL and his family have revealed his name.  https://uk.news.yahoo.com/navy-seal-who-shot-osama-bin-laden-revealed-as-veteran-commando-rob-o-neill-105653819.html#3dzo2LC

By: Jackie Hong Staff Reporter, 

News of a CNN gaffe Friday evening is quickly spreading thanks to Twitter.
A graphic super on the news channel’s Erin Burnett OutFront show mistakenly read “SEAL who claims he killed Obama under attack” instead of “Osama” during a segment about the former Navy SEAL who claims he killed former Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden during a house raid in Pakistan in 2011.
