It's at Amazon. Maybe it's not being banned. Maybe it's being pulled because it's such a stinker. (Eight reviews, each hating it more than the last. Doesn't sound promising.)

Here's what one reviewer had to say: Someone is deceiving Americans, and it might be the author., August 11, 2007

Tom Potts (Ottawa, Ontario) - See all my reviews

This review is from: America Deceived: Homeland Security Warning: Possession of this novel may result in unlimited detention. (Paperback)

I am constantly running into spam on political web sites, all either written by the same person, or by a group of people who are using the same boilerplate. Every one of them claims that Amazon and other sites have banned this book. Obviously Amazon hasn't, so why the lies? Why the spam? I would venture to guess that it is a sleazy campaign to drum up sales for a book which cannot stand on its own merits.

Need I say more?

I saw the Limbaugh thing.

I mean it was so clear that some bastard from Fox called him and told him to COOL IT.

And the fat man never skips a beat.

Oh I was joking before.

Forget war criminal Rumsfeld and don’t enrich that wealthy SOB by buying his book "Known and Unknown", instead read a BANNED book like "America Deceived II" by a real rebel and the "World’s Most Hated Author", E.A. Blayre III.

In reply to Hi, Ramona...I know this is

Astonishing numbers. And still they clamor to go out there and do what they do.

I've been so afraid for the journalists I've been watching these past days. They're out there in the crowds, still trying to get the story. I saw Christiane Amanpour out there today telling the people what Mubarak told her. That's gutsy. But without them, we couldn't possibly know the truth. Salutes to all of them.

Hi, Ramona...I know this is supposed to be a lighthearted blog entry, but after reading the Bradblog link a memory bell rang so I looked up this CPJ site and sure enough, they are on top of the plight of the journalists in Egypt.

4 journalists killed in 2011
849 journalists killed sing 1992
545 journalists murdered with impunity since 1992
145 journalists in prison worldwide

The Committee to Protect Journalists has been around for 30 years or so, so it isn't a result of current events.

Tedious, self-serving, blaming others. Why am I not surprised? (I am surprised that Michiko chose to review it. Total waste of time.)

The tedious, self-serving volume is filled with efforts to blame others.
