[edit] ADD Article?

I give this a "start" rating. It has good information on J.M. Deutch, but has ADD holes. Example:

• "President Clinton pardoned Deutch on his last day in office."

There was no indication he needed a pardon in article prior to this statement!

[edit] Controversial Issues that Require Solid Referencing

It is alleged that First Lady Hilary Clinton discovered that Deutch removed ground intelligence from Iraq and had him fired by President William Clinton, with a cover story of a secure computer being taken home.

It is also alleged that Deutch was conducting dual-use biological and chemical warfare research in the Department of Applied Biological Sciences at MIT. Something better than MIT's student Thistle newspaper should be found as a reference, if true.

It would also be interesting to determine whether, as Robert McNamara's protege, Deutch saw the failure of conventional explosives to penetrate Viet Cong tunnels, and therefore turned his research at MIT to "burning droplets" as over-pressure weapons for bunker-busting techologies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nukeh (talk • contribs) 22:58, 18 February 2008 (UTC) Nukeh (talk) 23:09, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
