[edit] Hello
Hello. I only removed what I could not find mentioned in the sources. Wikipedia cannot cite itself as a source. That is like a paper citing itself as evidence for a claim. Just please find sources for the statements. Posada is not listed in SOA Watch database so I doubt very much that he attended the School. Relations were not bad in 1946 so it was not a Cold War then. Please just find sources for statements so they are WP:V. Thanks for cleaning up and fixing the refs on the article.Ultramarine (talk) 09:14, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- We could say at the beginning of the Cold War. "Sadly famous" is not encyclopedic language which is neutral. Posada is not listed by the best source, SOA Watch which has a database of every single person taking a course at the School. Yes, there is an allegation that he attended, but it cames from a rather dubious Communist organization. Since it is dubious it should not be mentioned prominently unless you can find a better source. Crimes against humanity would mean that they have been convicted by an international court which is not the case. Also, the connection to the school is often quite weak. They have taken course in tank warfare, mechanics, radio operations etc. Not in torturing people. That may apply to those people who took intelligence or counter-insurgency courses, but that is only a small minority.Ultramarine (talk) 09:54, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Responsible is OK. We could say Posada if we qualify by "according to National Lawyers Guild but not SOA Watch".Ultramarine (talk) 10:26, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- OK, no need to mention source.Ultramarine (talk) 10:41, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
