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, Colo., 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."
Wait... an Al-Qaida member in an American supermax prison? How could that be?
Oh I know. The libruls let him roam around the country loose for awhile, and then he got so tired and slow that they caught him and locked him up before he could find his way into any back yards.
But the Obama books... those are the real threat.
But prison officials, citing guidance from the FBI, determined that passages in both books contain information that could damage national security.
That darned Obama, exposing all those national security secrets sandwiched between loving tributes to his family. He's a sly one, alright.
Or is he a Communist Marxist Fascist terrorist? I hear he once wandered into a back yard, too.
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. [...]
Abu Ali requested the books in August, before Obama was elected. [...]
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.
They could have just done this to the books. They do it to everything else:
