Incredible. I've never had much trouble with Amazon, but for them to pull something like this is beyond understanding. Books like Michael Moore's and others have gotten just as much or more attention as this one, and yet, for this one Amazon chooses to suspecnd its policies?
If you do it for one, you must be fair on the application for all, and that includes Bush bashing books as well.
My guess is that with the massive amount of feedback hitting this book, Amazon decided to wash it's hands of trying to manage it (for fear of being accused of being partisan in their enforcement perhaps) and just let it be a free for all. In other words, instead of doing the understandably dificult task of enforcing their policies, they took the cowards way out and suspended them.
Amazon has dropped the ball on this one and by not acting to be fair on both sides, has essentually made itself partisan. |

I believe it is, or so I've also heard.

| It could also be that Amazon opened this up in order to get more people to its web site. They might view it as just a business gamble, that they can get more sales from the visits to offset the hit to their reputation. |
