On 04 September 2012 the Assistant Secretary Defense for Public Affairs
noted that the Department believes the recently published book "No Easy Day"
contains classified and sensitive unclassified information. As has been
reported in the press, the author did not submit this book for
pre-publication review that is required by non-disclosure agreements he
signed.
In response to requests for guidance and to reinforce individual obligations
to protect classified national security information and sensitive
unclassified information, the following guidance concerning the book "No
Easy Day" (NED) is provided:
DoD personnel:
-- are free to purchase NED;
-- are not required to store NED, unless classified statements in the book
have been annotated;
-- shall not discuss potentially classified and sensitive unclassified
information with persons that do not have an official need to know and an
appropriate security clearance;
-- who possess either firsthand knowledge of, or suspect information within
NED to be classified or sensitive, shall not publically speculate or discuss
potentially classified or sensitive unclassified information outside
official U.S. Government channels (e.g. Chain-of-Command, Public Affairs,
Security, etc.);
-- are prohibited from using unclassified government computer systems to
discuss potentially classified or sensitive contents of the book, and must
not engage in online discussions via social networking or media sites
regarding potentially classified or sensitive unclassified information that
may be contained in NED.
-- DoD personnel should refer any media inquiries to their local Public
Affairs Office.
