Do freepers want the book released or not?
Exposing intelligence shortfalls by the Clinton administration good, names and dates of covert operations not so good?
If there are prepublication copies out there, it is only a matter of time before they get leaked.

Wait a second! I thought in America we don’t DESTROY books! Put Dark Side of the Force covers on 10,000 Korans and ship them to the Pentagon.

I suppose it would be o.k. to burn this book, based on the way the DOD is reacting.

Buying out the book has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
Duh! If the first printing is sold out, the publisher is likely to have a second printing, & maybe 1 million copies, & maybe double the price, too. If you can’t prevent the first publishing, you sure can’t prevent the second, or third, or fourth, ....
Will the Pentagon continue buying out the book until the publisher gets tired of the money?

I thought Fahrenheit 451 was a fictional work? Perhaps not.

Read the article. The second/subsequent printings have been censored by the DoD.

The publisher and the DOD have agreed to a “safe” version. The DOD wants to buy the initial 10000 copy print run and destroy that printing.
The problem is there are copies that have already been distributed to reviewers, media outlets.

Buying out the book has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard.Don't worry. We're the ones paying for them. Too bad we'll never get to read what we bought.
We're being censored. This administration will tell us what's acceptable reading and what is not. Welcome to the U.S.S.A.
Have a nice day (that's an executive order!).
To: STARWISE
Then put it on the internet!
To: massgopguy
Don’t they realize that if they destroy this book it will put writers everywhere in danger! We must stop this! Hopefully Obama will ask the army to listen to the other angels.
