Pentagon Buying Up All Copies Of A Book It's Not Happy About
Found on Techdirt on Monday, 13 September 2010
Even though the Army approved the book, the DIA says that it did not approve the book and that it has too much confidential information. In order to deal with that, the Pentagon has apparently agreed to buy up the 10,000 copies already printed in order to destroy them.
The author has already talked about lots of stuff in the book, and review copies of the original book had already been sent to many press outlets.
It looks like the Pentagon is still stuck in pre-Internet times. Not only travel news like this around the world instantly, it makes it also way easy to distribute content that otherwise would be censored. Not to mention such actions only draw lots of attention.
