miralax. ,,,, >> pelley: when we introduced you to the former navy seal called mark owen two years agoveting firsthand account of how seal team six killed osama bin laden. it was the tale that he wrote about in his best-selling book, "no easy day." he told us that he wrote the book to set the record straight, and planned to donate most of the profits to charities benefiting families of fallen navy seals. he kept his real name secret, expecting to disappear back into the shadows. but that's not how it worked out. this is the story of how one of the men who shot osama bin laden came under fire from his fellow seals and his own government, and what he'd like to say now to make amends. you know, i wonder how you compare the stress of the last two years to the kind of work you did as a seal. >> mark owen: i would go back overseas today and deal with fighting isis face to face rather than deal with the last two years again. >> pelley: the last two years were something that mark owen never trained for. he's been investigated by the government, excommunicated by the seal leadership, and inunda

you know, this is a mission that's very important. >> mark owen, his pseudonym.wrote "no easy day." he's now facing a criminal investigation for the book he wrote. >> yes. >> you have not written a book. >> no. >> but the pentagon is, i'm sure, watching every word that you are making publicly. are you concerned about a prosecution, about them taking issue with you for violating, in their view, the nondisclosure disagreement? >> that does concern me, and if it comes up, i will address it. right now, like i said, i think i did this in a way that doesn't violate any tactics or rules. and with mark owen being criminally investigated, it actually kind of bothers me that he's being treated like a criminal. i think that he's a hero. >> do you think you're a hero? >> i think i was part of a team full of heroes. >> what's so odd is that with all the details that have come out, the one thing that has not come out is a picture of bin laden. i don't know one soldier who in this day in age doesn't bring a camera with them on a mission. there must be photographs that members o

but he only knows what we told him. >> the only way i can justify the story mark owen wrote and sold he somehow in the confusion believed he was the second man up the stairs, when in fact he was the third. >> is it possible somebody is going to come out now watching this and say rob o'neal did not kill osama bin laden. >> i could probably see that happening. it is one of those things, i heard from a guy that heard from a guy that heard from a guy, all of a sudden it turns into a different story. again, that doesn't bother me. there was two people that were there. the thing i learned especially from this mission, because there are people with differing accounts. the thing i learned most is regardless of rank, position, office, unless you were in the room at the time, you only know what you were told. >> and that speaks to -- >> that speaks to everybody. >> do you worry that by telling your story, the pentagon is going to be upset? >> there's going to be people that are upset, you can't do anything without upsetting people. i don't believe anything i said hasn't been confirmed or ackno

>> well, i do think that him coming out and mark owen coming out, they are causing real problems, especially owen because of his book. o'neil, giving interviews is a different matter because he's not specifically profiting at all and says he's being careful about what he's disclosing. i think there's two different kinds of history going on. one is, first of all journalists are horrible judges whether somebody should be talking. we want everybody to talk and tell us everything. that said, i think history will look at o'neil and owen as people supplying information. on the other hand, within the military, within the military, i think, that owen and o'neil, there's a lot of discussion going on right now about how to prevent that from ever happening again. what can be done about it. i think that's one of the reasons there is a criminal investigation of owen right now to make sure the precedent isn't set and that's for military minds to decide, not me. >> fascinating discussion. it was a great interview. thanks so much. great to have you here. >> good to be here. >>> set your dvr to watch 360 whe

now, matt bissonnette -- pen name "mark owen" -- is suing his *lawyer, for failing to tell him he needed government *clearance to write the book. bissonnette is currently the target of a *criminal investigation. ac-dc's legendary drummer has been charged in a murder plot. phil rudd was arrested in new zealend and charged with attempting to procure two murders, threatening to kill and possession of drugs. the names of the intended victims and the hitman were not disclosed. the 60-year-old was released on bail and entered a no plea to the charges. ac-dc is set to release a new album later this month. one winning mega millions ticket worth 326 million bucks was sold at a gas station near middletown, new york, about 50 miles north of manhattan. the lump sum payout to the lucky buyer is just under 200- million. the station's employees don't know who bought the ticket. a bonus of about 10-thousand dollars goes to the station's owner. the blackhawks "winter classic" sweater is trending. this is what they'll be wearing when they play the washington capitals, on new year's day. it's based on the

who wrote the book "no easy day" under the pseudonym mark owen.l.s on the floor. here's what he told "60 minutes." >> after bin laden is wounded, he's still moving. you shot him twice? >> a handful of times. >> a handful of times and the s.e.a.l. in the stack behind you also shot bin laden and at that point his body was still? >> yes. >> reporter: why should we believe the s.e.a.l. that spoke to you and not the one who spoke to esquire who was also right there? >> i did a little bit of digging around with former s.e.a.l. team six members. they said on balance they found bizzenette to be a more credible person than the one in esquire. >> peter bergen is the author of the book man hunt, the search for osama bin laden. this goes against the whole ethos of the s.e.a.l.s, not to go into the detail of an operation like this. >> sure, but i guess the counterargument is that quite a lot of senior officials have talked about this or have written books about it and we just had a book from cia director leon panetta who, of course, was critical to the plannin

book claiming he was the one who killed bin laden, matt bissonnette, wrote under the pen name of mark owen, who is now being investigated by the pentagon for those disclosures. >>> they are back, guys. congress is back. will they do anything? after nearly two months absent for these mid terms -- we all know what happened there -- today they returned to the ha hallowed halls of capitol hill. fresh off this re-election, mitch mcconnell met today with the shining new faces who will take over this chamber come january. take a listen. >> we're really excited about having a great new bunch here. we hope they'll be joined by dan sullivan and bill cassidy shortly. we are here to make the place function again and to become to make progress for the american people. >> political correspondent kasie hunt is following this. casey, great to have you back on the show. >> reporter: great to see you, ronan. >> is there any legislative priority that's emerging for this lame duck senate and senate in particular? >> reporter: there's a handful of things to do, most importantly fund the government. they have t

published a book about the raid under pseudonym mark owen and gave his interview to scott pelley for "60 minutes." >> it wasn't for one. >> reporter: there may now be legal consequences for both former s.e.a.l.s. top naval officers recently penned a letter to other team members with a clear message. quit talking. we do not abide willful or selfish disregard for our core values in return for public notoriety or financial gain. >> there's a genuine concern that i going to so reveal some of their activities that it will decrease the effectiveness of the s.e.a.l.s and, two, set them back in that they'll have to go out and create new tactics and techniques in order to be effective for the future. >> but the s.e.a.l.s who risked their lives on that raid seem to be the only ones not allowed to talk about it. both former secretaries gates and panetta published detailed books about killing obama bin laden. >> all right, margaret, thanks. this morning the white house confirms president obama sent a letter to ron's supreme leader but it had nothing to do with fighting isis. he told ayatollah al

telling 60 minutes he got bad legal advice when he penned his book under the alias mark owen. >> he said you are a civilian now, you are under no legal obligation to get it reviewed. >> what do you know now? >> you're supposed to get any type of manuscript or book reviewed. >> he insists he he had no intention of doing anything to hurt his fellow seals. >> there is a bid to save the mideast peace talks in washington. secretary of state john kerry will sit down with a high ranking palestinian delegation. protests came days after israel shut down the temple mount. we are live in west jerusalem, let's talk about what's happening in gas. israel and egypt closing barredders to the region. what prompted that decision? >> good morning, del. it's a very complicated situation. i'll start with israel's closure at its crossings. of course the border that gaza shares with israel is the longest. the reasons is a few days ago, the israeli military say what they describe as a projectile was fired into gaza territory. they don't discuss whether it was a mortar or missile, but the response was to close t

mark owen says he's never trained for the stress he's endured.s been shunned by the sales and investigated by the federal government sand drowning in legal bills. he says he doesn't regret writing "no easy day." because if generals can do it, is can enlisted personnel. the end of a match more like a wrestling match. brad kozlowski slamming gordon. he was left with a flat tire. victory hopes dashed and apparently a lot of anger. another driver pushed kozlowski closer to gordon. both drivers walked away bruised. >> a lot of rapid punches thrown there. >> what's a rabbit punch? >> a quick punch to the back of the head, man law. >> we will be so up on pan law. >> man study this scrum. see water going on here, a direct metaphor to what you will see after the elections tomorrow. >> no, we will not. >> this is exactly what's going on in our political polls, nobody knows that better than john king. he will take us on "inside politics" on "new day." john, am i right? or am i right? >> i hope you are wrong. i hope ultimate nascar arena stays over there. we

matt bisonette who wrote a best-seller under the pen name mark owen about shooting bin laden..a.l.'s commander fired off a stern letter, reminding their code of secrecy. i do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions. bisonette recently told nbc news there are inconsistencies about who's allowed to talk and who isn't. noting the pentagon helped hollywood recreate the raid for "zero dark thirty." >> everybody was talking about this. >> reporter: for his part, o'neil says months passed before it finally sunk in he shot osama bin laden. >> i thought about it every day. for a number of years. i'm still try to figure out if it's the best thing i've ever done or the worst thing i've ever done. >> it's an amazing admission. a former senior s.e.a.l. team 6 leader who knows both bisonette and o'neil told nbc news he was quote utterly disappointed with both men but other former s.e.a.l.s insist that higher-ups created a double standard where some are rewarded for speaking out and others are not. >> fair debate, but it just seems i mean, seems untoward, i d

third up, matt bissonnette, known as mark owen, he wrote a being boo, he talked to "60 minutes," he think shots. i've talked to people in the navy s.e.a.l. community. they're not at all convinced either of the two s.e.a.l.s speaking out. we've never heard from the first man through the door, neither of those two s.e.a.l.s they believe, are really telling the full story of what happened that night. don't believe either of them really fired the kill shot. but of course, they may never know, it was a dark night, it was confusing. but that's just the beginning. because the head navy s.e.a.l., rear admiral brian losey has fired off a scathing letter to his community. i want to read you just a part of it where he reminds them all of their ethical obligation, admiral losey saying their ethics require, i do not advertise the nature of my work nor seek recognition for my actions. admiral losey telling the navy s.e.a.l.s to zip it and stop talking about all of this most of them, the majority of them do obey the rules. and just one more thing, admiral losey telling the navy s.e.a.l.s, if they disclo

matt bisonette who wrote a book under the pen name mark owen, about shooting bin laden, without clearing the book with the government. a stern letter, i do not advertise the nature of my work nor seek recognition for my actions but bisonette, who didn't want his face shown, said there's inconsistencies with who is allowed to talk and who didn't, noting that the pentagon helped to re-create the raid for "zero dark thirty." for his part, o'neill says months past until it finally sunk in that he shot osama bin laden. >> i thought about it every day for a number of years. i'm still trying to figure out if it's the best thing i've ever done or worse thing i've ever done. >> bisonette says he should have had his book reviewed, but a former s.e.a.l. team six leader says he considers breaking their secrecy dishonorable but others insist that higher ups created this where some are able to speak out and not others. >>> natalie is here right now with overnight news on the president's trip to asia. >> good morning, everyone. president obama and china's president are downplaying tension between the t

owen. this photograph is marked by burns. you can see scorching. this is the only thing recovered from the house when it was bombed in may of 1945. you go from one more to another. -- one war to another. that is allison and other members of the team. we went to see where this soldier had come from. the two germans were buried here. about 118 miles from where they were found. the germans cannot afford to bury them in a local cemetery. at least they were buried with their comrades. they decided to put up a monument erected at the edge of the field where the men were found. when it was unveiled, the stoodor of the museum with me and said this is the most unusual monument. is it the smallest? no, it's not the smallest. ath two germans and a british soldier on one monument. 100 years later, a reconciliation still takes time. this turned up on ebay of all things. there is a wreath hung in a trench. down there, it says in memory of comrades.allen had that arrived before the archaeology, it would have been inexplicable. except that we know this was dated j

mark lefelder and steve owen. >> he's a big football fan.ays something, people listen. and the fact that he carries so much weight, there's so many kids like myself who didn't need football as a way out. it's a corporate board room. i think it's irresponsible for him to say that. >> he's talking about the age. he's saying wait until high school because it's unsafe at a younger age somehow. we're protecting the heads of children, teaching them how to tackle properly with shoulders instead of their heads. is it an age thing? >> i think tony knows far better than steve and i. it's a sport that's not for the feint of heart. whether or not kids should wait until they mature a bit, that's a manner of interpretation for the parents. so i don't completely disagree with viola bron is saying, but with all the other factors going on around the league, i'm sure the nfl offices aren't thrilled with his comments. >> i'm from cleveland. my sisters are from cleveland. we all side with lebron. i think it's more than an age thing. my sister, she won't allow h
