Source: U.S. to allow ATF agent to write 'Fast and Furious' book, not profit from it
Washington (CNN) - A federal agent will be allowed to write a book with an insider's account of Operation Fast and Furious, reversing an earlier government attempt to block publication for "morale" reasons. However, John Dodson, an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, won't be allowed to make money on the book.
A U.S. law enforcement official familiar with the matter says the Justice Department, ATF and the Federal Bureau of Investigation will review Dodson's manuscript and, after making redactions to protect sensitive law enforcement information, will clear it for publication. However, federal employee guidelines prohibit Dodson and other active agents from making a profit from their work in law enforcement, the official said.

@Tampa Tim,
I get the joke, but here's what's really funny: political action committees and other conservative organizations buy up right-wing literature in bulk in order to boost sales rankings, especially on online retailers like Amazon. Fascinating piece on this in Salon (I think) a few years ago.

wonder how long it will take for it to be marked down to half-price?
Sounds like a great Christmas gift for Darrell Issa .
I was going to send him the the FreedomWoks version of Green Eggs and Ham .
That's because they know there is no point in doing so, if he can't profit from it. Nothing but a government way of stopping it, without appearing to stop it.
