'Fast & Furious' Gun Walking Book Banned by Our Government Because It Would "Hurt Morale"

John Solomon at the Washington Times reports:

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is blocking the main whistleblower in the Fast and Furious case from publishing a book, claiming his retelling of the Mexico “gun-walking” scandal will hurt morale inside the embattled law enforcement agency, according to documents obtained by The Washington Times.

I think that is a new excuse for censorship of reporting on government scandals: It would hurt morale.

The government could shut down a lot of newspapers, book publishers and bloggers under that justification.

The ACLU has joined with litigation.
