I removed the following paragraph:
NOTE: M.A. actually only threatened to sue DoD. As M.A. indicates above, the Office of Security Review (OSR) determined 13 classified items remain in his book. As such, they requested those items be removed before he proceed with publication. Also realize, M.A. had refrained from submitting his manuscripts for review until it became apparent to him that this publication would garner significant negative attention from those he worked for in Iraq. Additionally, when he realized the timeline for further redactions would cause him to loose his writer's advance and cut into his income, M.A. pushed to have the book published without removing the remaining classified information, thus putting classified entities at risk for personal gain.
