Feds' request: Let us take on jail that bans all books except the Bible

When I first read this article, I had to walk away and consider.

First, I observed the source and wondered why are they trying to start a slanted debate. No, probably not the right question; maybe What agenda are they trying to promote or demote from popular opinion? I wonder?
