This is a very volatile topic with everyone for many different reasons.

I agree that the author has the right to publish his book. I also agree that the FBI should probably be investigating and hopefully incarcerating his sorry self for having possible experience with his topic.

This, ultimately, serves as yet another object lesson as to why a rating system for written media would be a good thing. When people first started with the idea, I was against it. However, with the opening of the realms of written media through the internet, I find that I really would like a warning that the book I am looking at contains disturbing content, or is mostly verbal p0rn thinly veiled by what the author likes to believe is "plot".

Rating something, or warning about something's content, yet it still being published and available to all, would not be censorship - it would just be common sense in today's world.
