• US prisons ban certain religious books over terror fears and inmates file lawsuit - International Herald Tribune

Inmates at the federal prison camp in Otisville, New York, were stunned by what they saw at the chapel library at the end of May — hundreds of books had disappeared from the shelves.The removal of the books is occurring nationwide, part of a long-delayed, post-Sept. 11 federal directive intended to prevent radical religious texts, specifically Islamic ones, from falling into the hands of violent inmates.

The books were not just Muslim books. These included books from all religions.
