Why were Obama's books banned from supermax prisons?

Update:

Seen the end of a story on the T.V. an interview with someone with the FBI involved with the prison system. They banned the books Audacity of Hope and Dreams of my Father from their library. Something about inciting terrorism. No link sorry.

    "The federal government's most secure prison has determined that two books written by President Barack Obama contain material "potentially detrimental to national security" and rejected an inmate's request to read them."

    ...

    "Prison officials cite specific pages - but not specific passages - in the books that they deem objectionable. They include one page in Obama's 1995 book, "Dreams from My Father," and 22 separate pages in his policy-oriented 2006 book, "The Audacity of Hope." It was not immediately obvious what passages might have been deemed problematic, though nearly half of the pages cited are in a chapter devoted to foreign affairs."

    It would be a violation of the Geneva Conventions to put POWs in a supermax prison. Funny how the messiah keeps talking about closing Gitmo to raise the opinion of America in the eyes of other countries, but neglects to point out this particular inconvenient truth.

    I didn't know that had ANY books in Supermax. I never thought about it. However, I doubt your claims.

    Subversive Communist propaganda should not be allowed around people in prison in America.
