I got rid of the huge, over-sized photo, on the basis that none was better than the problems such a big photo poses for reading the page. Please forgive, if this is a dud-move. bkjmilller —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bkjmiller (talk • contribs) 02:50, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

The "war crimes prosecution" section is incorrect. If you read the times article cited, it doesn't say that the german government is prosecuting. What's happened is that private individuals have filed a complaint with German prosecutors. Cttck 22:26, 18 April 2007 (UTC)


There is much difference in content between the current and 09:32, 5 February 2006 revisions. Moreover a couple of paragraphs are completely copied, from the first google result.

Why has there been so much content removed, why are all the categories gone and why are no sources cited and no external links?

(will do my best to update as I see fit)

In Feb of 2006, someone deleted the material linking Stephen Cambone with Abu Gharaib, the mention of his extreme unpopularity with the US military, and other controversial matters. All of the controversial material was replaced with standard biographical stuff. The changes were made by an unregistered user at IP = 72.66.19.22, which traces back to the US government. That is all that I can determine from the available evidence. I think we can conclude that someone acting on behalf of the subject "cleaned up" the article to make it more favorable. Since the original article violated the Wikipedia:Neutral Point of View rule, was very poorly written in the first place, had very few references, and was not up to Wikipedia standards, I suggest that this article needs to be completely rewritten from scratch, with more and better references and careful adherence to a neutral point of view.

Yikes, this is completely biased against this fellow Cambone!! Full of speculation, heresay, and is generally libelous to Cambone.

  • Your comments will carry more weight if you sign your comments. Mr. Cambone is a politician who has been appointed to a series of political positions of great sensitivity and responsibility. Every action he takes is subject to public scrutiny and comment. Wikipedia has a duty to report the controversies that surround such people with care and objectivity. We do not have the option of ignoring or suppressing hot political controversy. If you have read somewhere that Jeffrey St. Clair did not report that Cambone was responsible for intelligence operations like Gray Fox, or that he was not referred to as Rumsfeld's "chief henchman", or that the "revolver" quote is fictitious, then please add this contribution to the article, with a reference to the publication that made this claim. Similarly, if you have read positive evaluations of Cambone's professional actions or career, then you can add them as well, with citations. The important thing in these cases is for Wikipedia to report the controversy, with citations, and not to take a position one way or the other. — Aetheling 19:49, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
