I'm not sure of the timing but AP released his name as well. As did many other sources (again, not sure who was first...)

Responses:

Part of me blames the Seal for publishing a book that should not be published. - Bacon Aug 24, 21:55 13
- I blame Military Intelligence for not knowing about the book, black bagging the dud and destroying all of the manusctipts ages ago -- nm - peglegpete Aug 24, 22:16 1
  - manuscripts -- nm - peglegpete Aug 24, 22:17
- yeah, can't disagree. but having done it, they should not have named him. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 21:57 6
  - yeah, they should just have quietly thrown him in prison. -- nm - mafic Aug 24, 23:30
  - If Fox hadn't, someone else would have; and in fact, CBS did online before pulling the page. Who knows how long it was up. - Stephen Aug 24, 22:08 2
    - Why this is particularly galling from Fox is that they were the ones pushing the idea at the time that Obama was risking - Reagen Aug 25, 07:33 1
      - You're misinterpreting my post; it wasn't said as a justification do Fox releasing the name - Stephen Aug 25, 08:44
  - He had to have known in this day and age it would happen. 100% his own fault. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 22:00 1
    - Yep, for a group trained so well this one bonehead couldn't resist not keeping his secret. - Bacon via droid Aug 24, 22:09
- The defense dept hasn't seen it so they say. So there could be tactics in there that the enemy could counter int he future. - Bacon Aug 24, 21:56 3
  - he didn't,get it vetted because he knew they would say no. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 21:57 2
    - Likely with good reason. -- nm - Stephen Aug 24, 22:08
    - he's a dumb ass - Bacon via droid Aug 24, 22:07
