Irony Brought to You Courtesy of the US Department of Defense

Can you believe it? Really? Okay, I'm just utterly flabbergasted that this is actually happening and during Banned Book Week no less! Despite the fact that the Army originally cleared the book, Operation Dark Heart only to have the US Defense Intelligence Agency later determine that the Army's clearance was not sufficient.

As a person who works with teens in a public library in the United States of America I find it appalling that I am promoting the concept that we, as Americans have the freedoms necessary to read any book we like, while this goes on in our country. Is what I believe really true? The numbers currently being reported are that 9,500 copies of this book have been BURNED...

Oh, by the way, Happy Banned Book Week, September 25 - October 2, 2010.
