From 911Encyclopedia:
Based on the original book by Ray Bradbury and movie by Francois Truffaut, the synonym "Fahrenheit 451" is used in comparison with John Ashcroft and one of his idea to introduce a monitor list of public libraries. In the science-fiction book "Fahrenheit 451" noone on earth is allowed to read any book. The mission of firefighters was to burn every book. "You can't argue with a televisor. Why? The televisor is real. It is immediate. It has dimension. It tells you what to think and blasts it in. It must be right. It seems so right. It rushes you on so quickly to it's own conclusions, your mind hasn't time to protest, `What nonsense!'" --Faber and Montag, "Fahrenheit 451"
