This Just In from the Dept. of Stupid Government Decisions

	The New York Times reports that U.S. prisons have removed many religious books from their libraries because they threaten to incite terrorist acts. Among such terroism-inciting tomes are works by such militants as Karl Barth, Reinhold Niebuhr, Avery Cardinal Dulles and Yves Congar. For Pete's sake.

Now if we were talking about Bonhoffer, that'd be a different story entirely.

Hmmm. It's a whitelist, so Barth wasn't blocked specifically, just not included. Even so, it sounds like there's a pro-Evangelical motive: "The lists 'show a bias toward evangelical popularism and Calvinism,' he said, and lacked materials from early church fathers, liberal theologians and major Protestant denominations."
