[edit] "Baghdad" Jim

I'm going to revert the addition of "Baghdad" to Mcdermott's name in the article lead. The name there should be his legal name, or the name he goes by, like "Jim". The origins and relevance of the "Baghdad" bit are mentioned in the body of the article. (Yes, most reasonable people would see the addition of "Baghdad" as simple vandalism, but in case someone might somehow construe this as a content dispute, I want to get my position laid out here.)

[edit] Controversies

I've made an effort to improve the neutrality of the "Controversies" section. The original version was written in a biased voice. 24.19.233.237 17:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Why isn't there any mention of Jim McDermott's position on other issues, such as abortion? Other members of Congress have had their positions on abortion explored in exhaustive detail in their Wikipedia articles. Dino 16:12, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
