Is use of the word radical - as in "radical Islam" pov? Ackie00 23:49, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Mehdi Ghezali was the subject of an hour long documentary. The documentary film-makers were Swedish, IIRC, but it was filmed in English It included interviews with Janice Karpinski, among others.
Ghezali's interview came late in the film, and was brief. I am not a mental health professional. He seemed to still be in shock from his treatment in US captivity, and deeply depressed. He appeared after one of the British former captives talked him into it.
Anyhow, mention of this film belongs in the article.

The early life section seemed to have a lot of unreferenced statements.
I found some of them backed up by a reference from late in the section. I moved that reference to the top. But some statements seem to remain unreferenced.
I had to work from google translation of [1]. If this is just a swedish blogger, then it is not a WP:RS.
Maybe I will go ask at the swedish equivalent of the village pump as to whether they consider it a WP:RS.

In spite of crazy allegations from Netanyahu, this guy is a Sunni Muslim, not a Shia, most likely affiliated with al-Qaeda, hence his travels in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, and capture in Guantanamo. This needs to be noted, if sources bring it up, of course. FunkMonk (talk) 16:53, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You're a fucking idiot, "if this guy didn't die in Bulgaria where the heck is he?", what kind of a question is that? If he isn't a proven culprit, what difference does it make where the hell he is? And how is it any of your business? He was locked up at Gitmo for over two years, without knowing what his charge was and his confinement went without a trial. His dad had campaigned for his release for more than a year. And now you have the audacity to ask about this man's whereabouts if he wasn't involved? Are you mentally handicapped? How about disproving Russell's Teapot while you are at it, you clusterfuck. What happened to innocent until proven guilty, you gullible tool. Do you know the meaning of character assassination and defamation?
People like you are a fucking disgrace to this world. The smoke hasn't blown off the victims' bodies and you're pointing fingers because media regurgitated a foreign-sounding name you can barely pronounce. You're a donkey, plain and simple. You're accusing Netanyahu for spouting crazy allegations, which is true, but you're doing the same thing. What proof do you even bring for accusing this guy to belong to Al-Qaeda? You're the breed that needs a scapegoat whenever shit hits the fan. --217.209.85.159 (talk) 17:02, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Inthis edit I corrected what I regarded as serious misconception.
"Unlawful combatant"isNOT how the US referred to the captives apprehended in its "global war on terror". "Unlawful combatant" is a term associated with the Geneva Conventions. It was the policy of Bush Presidency that the Geneva Conventions did not apply to these captives. The Bush Presidency called them "Enemy Combatants" -- a newly made up and controversial term. Saying that the USA called him an "unlawful combatant" is highly misleading, as it is tantamount to saying the USA was complying with the Geneva Conventions, and that Ghezali was granted all the protections of POW status.

Someone was very reckless with the {{cite}} reference templates in this article.
Some people like to put {{cite}} templates with each field on a separate line. Other people like to put the entire template on single line.
I think it is important to keep our hands off references created in the style we don't like -- unless they are actually broke -- as it makes the revision history misleading. It makes it look like the article had extensive changes to the article's content -- when they didn't change the content at all.
I added half or more of the references to this article, and some bright spark decided to change them all to the all on one line style. Normally, I would just be grumpy about this. But somewhere along the line that individual, or someone else, screwed up all the webcitation archive URLs. Webcitation.org offers a short URL and a long URL to the archived version of a web page.
The last 16 characters of those archive URLs are always date=yyyy-mm-dd -- where yyyy-mm-dd are always the date the page was archived. Someone decided to change all date fields in all the templates in the article, and to put them in English. They recklessly changed these fields as well, changing the date into English -- which, of course broke all those URLs.
Those archive URLs were a lot of work, and it is extremely aggravating to see them being recklessly broken.
So I moved all the article's references. Geo Swan (talk) 11:57, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
