Interesting Amazon disclaimer

Amazon decided to break its own rules for Unfit for Command reviews. The following disclaimer is up on the page:

Important note from Amazon.com: We’ve decided to suspend our normal customer review policies and rules for this title. For example, we usually prohibit ad hominem attacks. That policy in particular seems to be incompatible with presidential election year politics. Therefore, short of obscenities, reviews on this book are now a free-for-all. We take no responsibility for the following discussion. Aren’t presidential election years great? Have fun!

Thanks for the pointer, Randy: when are you going to start blogging? :-)
