A co-author of a Sarah Palin tell-all doesn't plan to sue over the unauthorized leak of the book's manuscript.

Ken Morris says he wants to put the issue to rest.

Author Joe McGinniss was accused of leaking a draft manuscript of "Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin: A Memoir of Our Tumultuous Years." The book, by former Palin aide Frank Bailey, was written with Morris and Jeanne Devon, who said they struggled to find a publisher after the leak.

McGinniss' own book on Palin was recently published.

Morris, in a commentary in the Alaska Dispatch, says that while he'll never completely forgive McGinniss, he and his family aren't interested in a lawsuit that he says would "indefinitely drag our lives into the gutter with someone I regard as a rogue journalist."
