Has this ever happened before, as the US government ever bought up 10,000 copy run of books so that they could destroy them?

Does everyone know that the book is already out there, has already been sent out to reviewers, and so therefore there is no way to stop the so-called secret information from being given to the public?

The author says that he had everything vetted by the respective government agencies before publication. the author also states that all this information has previously been released to the public domain.

Amazingly eBay has been told to cancel all sales.

Amazingly Amazon has stopped making any sales too, so it seems that the effort by the government to ban all copies has been successful.

Please note that buying 10,000 copies is going to cost the government $200,000 of your tax dollars -- isn't that wonderful?

But since we just printed all that money up in the middle of the night, on little scraps of paper, I guess it is okay the next day to burn it all again -- perhaps in the same furnace providing heat along with the 10,000 copies that the American public is not allowed to see.

What say you all, fellow FReepers?

If it was already vetted, it means that the book probably shows Islam in a bad light. Obama probably went along with the steps to contain Islam, but cannot afford to have that information out in the open because it will result in hurt feelings. Remember, it is all about “feelings.”

If I were the publisher, I would sell all the 1st edition to the guv’ment. For the 2d edition, I would redact the offending section, which is not a national security issue, its a pure political issue demonstrating that the 9/11 Commission was bought and paid for by the Democrats and the Left.

Then I would sell the 2d Edition, shrink wrapped with a special “supplement” that provides a separately sourced redacted portion with an explanation of why DIA objected to the Army’s release of the original manuscript. It would sell like hot cakes and completely expose the partisan nonsense behind all of this.

Lots of book buying going on.
Take a look at the books purchased by
our rulers from the iman at GZ, who the
taxpayers sent out on a Middle East tour.

I believe the story is here somewhere.

Sorry, but I do not have a link to post.

My best to you. You will learn much here.

From an earlier thread on the topic:
“If you sell all 10,000 copies of a book, the publisher makes a profit and then prints a second copy of the book. Then, hypes all the free publicity from selling out the first run to push the book onto the best seller lists across the country and on Amazon.

I hope the DIA isn’t in charge of anything large or pointy.”

Even if they don't do a second run almost no books sell out 100%. I bet they are buying the book at the full retail price too. The publisher and the author can modify the book or pump out another and it will be an automatic bestseller. What a stimulus move!

Yes, I forgot about that, the problem seems to be that he told the 9/11 commission the straight truth and at first they were amazed and excited to hear it (when he was in Afghanistan) but then later when he came back to the United States they were no longer interested in what he had to say.

Amazing.

Why would they not want to hear what this man does have to say about the intelligence and electronic intelligence that he specialized in and then he gathered showing that Mohammed Atta was a danger and a menace to the United States and might be preparing a terrorist attack?

It seems that this is what they are trying to cover up...
