Obama's Books Banned From US Prisons-- TOO RADICAL
But, he's a moderate.
Thank You State-Run Media For Vetting This Radical Before the Election.

Barack Obama's books were recently banned from the US government's most secure prison.
The radical language in the books make them "potentially detrimental to national security."
The AP reported:

This should keep Obama's books on the best seller list a few more weeks.
Everyone will be buying them to see why the most secure Prison in the US finds them "potentially detrimental to national security."
:shock:

Seems Alice uses the British rags when it serves her purpose.

What was Obama doing writing about sensitive information? Why did the FBI at first think it was sensitive and "potentially detrimental to national security."

Don't have any idea who the writer is...do you? Is there more to the article? Is this from one of the British rags?

http://www.newser.com/story/64119/obama-books-banned-for-jailed-terrorist.html

(Newser Summary) – Prison officials refused to let an al-Qaeda terrorist serving 30 years in Supermax, a prison in Colorado, read Barack Obama's books, the Daily Telegraph reports. Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, an American citizen convicted of conspiring to, among other things, assassinate then–President George W. Bush, was told that the books contained information that could jeopardize national security if they were read by prisoners.

Officials singled out a page in the autobiographical Dreams from My Father and 22 in the policy-oriented The Audacity of Hope as containing sensitive information. Ali went on hunger strike over the rejections and the prison's policy on family visits. A prison review concluded that the books were okay for inmates to read after all. "Any inmate there that wanted these, has them," an official now says.

The Daily Telegraph is not a rag nor a tabloid...and the way I read this it was prison officials that found a problem, not the FBI. And, the officials have concluded there was never a problem in the first place. This is not news...this is a pathetic attempt to malign the President of the United States.

then you did not read the article that you posted.

Citing guidance from the FBI, the authorities at the "Supermax" prison in Florence, Colorado, decided that both books contained information that could jeopardise national security.

Obama's Books Banned From US Prisons-- TOO RADICAL
But, he's a moderate.
Thank You State-Run Media For Vetting This Radical Before the Election.

Barack Obama's books were recently banned from the US government's most secure prison.
The radical language in the books make them "potentially detrimental to national security."
The AP reported:


The federal government's most secure prison has determined that two books written by President Barack Obama contain material "potentially detrimental to national security" and rejected an inmate's request to read them.

Ahmed Omar Abu Ali is serving a 30-year sentence at the federal supermax prison in Florence, Colorado, for joining al-Qaida and plotting to assassinate then-President George W. Bush. Last year, Abu Ali requested two books written by Obama: "Dreams from My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope."

But prison officials, citing guidance from the FBI, determined that passages in both books contain information that could damage national security.

A prison spokeswoman referred questions to the FBI, where a spokeswoman was looking into the matter Thursday evening.

The documents detailing the prison's rejection of Obama's books are included in court papers for a resentencing hearing scheduled later this month for Abu Ali, a U.S. citizen.

The rejection is just one indication of the harsh conditions imposed on inmates at the supermax prison, according to Abu Ali's lawyer, Joshua Dratel...

Prison officials cite specific pages - but not specific passages - in the books that they deem objectionable. They include one page in Obama's 1995 book, "Dreams from My Father," and 22 separate pages in his policy-oriented 2006 book, "The Audacity of Hope." It was not immediately obvious what passages might have been deemed problematic, though nearly half of the pages cited are in a chapter devoted to foreign affairs.
The fact that the books promote racism probably didn't help.
Here's one passage from his book Dreams of My Father:

"It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks' greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere... That's the world! On which hope sits!"
The prison officials were probably concerned about stoking racial tensions(?)

Gee the FBI says Obama's books contain material "potentially detrimental to national security" and none of you liberals besides Alice have anything to say to defend these, "too radical" books. What is Obama going to think if his little followers aren't willing to defend him and his Best Sellers. :wink: :lol:

It does not mention the FBI. It does, however, state that prison officials changed their stance and any prisoner is able to read any and all of Obama's books.

"A prison review concluded that the books were okay for inmates to read after all. "Any inmate there that wanted these, has them," an official now says."

Ergo, this is a non issue, except to people who try to discredit and malign the President of the United States.

Alice come on, you read a 2 paragraph excerpt from a telegraph story.

Before Obama is president, the books are an issue. He becomes the Boss, and it's no longer an isssue. Hmmm.

Alice - ignore this type of lunacy. If Obama said he flossed his teeth regularly, these babies would find something to criticize in it. Or make something up. And if you prove they made it up, they babble and point to the sky to distract like a toddler caught messing in their daddy's vegetable garden.

One agenda only, to discredit the administration regardless of the truth or the repercussions. And libel and slander and rumor and lies are as good a way as any.

I agree...it is lunacy. Sometimes I let it get the best of me...grrrrr!

Racial tension in prisons is a real and verifiable fact.

Statements such as:

"It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks' greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere... That's the world! On which hope sits!"

can be motivation for prison violence and recruitment for Radical Muslims.

The Supermax, with guidance from the FBI banned these Obama books to one inmate.

The documents detailing the prison's rejection of Obama's books are included in court papers for a resentencing hearing scheduled later this month for Abu Ali, a U.S. citizen.

How is any of this a bold faced lie or lunancy?
