Amazon’s cowardice and servility generate boycott



By DANIEL ELLSBERG

So far Amazon has spared itself the further embarrassment of trying to explain its action openly.

They can send it to Wikileaks (now on servers outside the US), to mainstream journalists or bloggers, or perhaps to a site like antiwar.com, which has now appropriately ended its book-purchasing association with Amazon and called a boycott.

    Amazon is named after brave, powerful women but is run by sniveling, weak men. Talk about irony.
