Pentagon to Make Secrets Book an Instant Best-SellerPosted on Sep 9, 2010
Anthony A. Shaffer, a former spy for the military who went by the preposterous pseudonym “Christopher Stryker,” was clever enough to publish a memoir with information the Pentagon would prefer to keep secret. As a result, the military is in negotiations to buy every single copy. Shaffer’s book was reviewed and cleared by the Army, but his former employer, the Defense Intelligence Agency, found secrets in the book, including the names of intelligence operatives, after it was published.

Along the same lines, though regarding the, shall we say ‘dubious practices’ of the DEA in Key West, have you looked into the book Below Mile Zero? Suggest you do so.

This is what I don’t get—whenever I do a freelance job, I sign a non-disclosure agreement. Why can’t they sue this guy into oblivion for obviously exposing trade secrets about his past work? I’m all for free speech, but I’m also for keeping your end of the bargain. I’m just not sure what this guy’s bargain was.
