Transparency: The Justice Department blocks a tell-all book by an ATF special agent on how Brian Terry, Jaime Zapata and hundreds of Mexican nationals were killed with weapons supplied by this administration.
ATF Special Agent John Dodson is a national hero who in 2011 blew the whistle on Operation Fast and Furious, the Obama administration's gun-running operation to Mexico.
Testifying before Congress, he disclosed that his supervisors had authorized the flow of semiautomatic weapons into Mexico instead of interdicting them, weapons that found their way into the hands of Mexican drug cartels with deadly results.
Dodson has put his intimate Fast and Furious knowledge into a book titled "The Unarmed Truth." It provides the first inside account of how the Obama administration permitted and helped sell some 2,000 guns to Mexican drug cartels, guns used in the murder of two federal agents and hundreds of Mexican citizens.
Just as Attorney General Eric "I didn't read the memo" Holder has stonewalled on providing information and documents to Congress and the American people, hiding under President Obama's invocation of executive privilege, the Department of Justice has denied Dodson permission to publish the book.
Dodson submitted his manuscript for ATF review, as is required, and was told in a letter from ATF ethics official Greg Serres, a representative of the most transparent administration in history: "This would have a negative impact on morale in the Phoenix Field Division and would have a detremental (sic) effect on our relationships with DEA and FBI."
The family of slain Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry stands behind Dodson and supports his attempts to publish his manuscript, according to Ralph Terry, president of the Brian Terry Foundation and Brian's uncle.

Why doesn’t this Islamic regime just ban all books not approved by their capo Holder?
Moral?? it's already in the tank and this is pure speculation but if one needs an excuse, any will do.
Supplying weapons to narcoterrorists, al Qaeda,
and then defending them has DESTROYED the moral
of Americans.
Whitey Bulger would be a more honest DO”J” head
than the perjures Holder. And he is lower than scum.
Since when does the Fed Gob’t tell you what you can and cannot do when it comes to selling your stories? This is worse than communism here folks! WAKE UP, AMERICA!!! WE’RE BEING FLUSHED FASTER THAN DRANO DOWN THE US TOILET..
Let me translate: the truth hurts. But those are not legitimate reasons to block publication.

I’m sure the author would like to make some money from his efforts and would like to publish legitimately. However, the importance of this book to the public discourse makes me want to suggest he load it onto the interwebs in as many places as he can. There are lots of friendly places that would host it for free downloads. Maybe he can use one of the crowdsourcing sites to collect donations after the fact.
....Enforce the Bill of Rights. It’s the Law!
I wonder if we could each file an FOIA request for a copy?

Time for an ‘unfortunate’ leak. Where is Wikileaks when you need it?
Well, the Justice Dept. has a negative impact on morale in the people who have a clue, and have a detrimental effect on our relationships with the government.
The author should publish the book overseas and have a direct link on the internet.
Obama’s Ministry of Information can’t allow this information to leak out - about “the most transparent administration in history.”
And if bull sh*t were bullion, all our deficit spending would be covered, and we’d be deep in the black.
