From the article: 'The Defense Department is attempting to buy the entire first printing — 10,000 copies — of a memoir by a controversial former Defense Intelligence Agency officer so that the book can be destroyed, according to military and other sources."

    This would be funny if there was a Kindle version offered. Try to buy out all of those {grin}.

    Here it was almost old time thinking colliding with modern day realities.
