[edit] Ungrammatical sentence: ambiguous meaning

The sentence:

During his time in Military Intelligence, he became a senior officer of its Unit 504, a small secret unit dedicated to human intelligence which was particularly active in Lebanon[1] and administers Facility 1391, a prison described by critics as "Israel's Guantanamo".

What does this mean? The tenses shift mid-sentence. Does it mean that he currently administers this prison? What's the connection to the subject?

[edit] Gallup poll "criticism"

See here: The Big Lie: Find Out Why Many Muslims Think Bin Laden Is Innocent. The accusation is bogus so I've removed it per BLP. <<-armon->> 13:29, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

That article doesn't mention Carmon, Whitaker, or Gallup polls. Did you provide the wrong link by mistake? The Whitaker criticism was accurately explained and is in no way a violation of BLP. csloat 18:30, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

It does. "It turns out an overwhelming majority of people in the Muslim world, according to a Gallup poll, do not believe the attacks of Sept. 11 were orchestrated by Osama bin Laden, or by Arabs, or by Muslims. Many believe, instead, that the whole thing was a conspiracy orchestrated by Jews. " Isarig 19:28, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Indeed - guess I should read rather than trusting "find on page." I won't revert. But Whitaker does claim, in more than one place, that Gallup has confirmed that Carmon's representation of the findings were false. csloat 19:50, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Which suggests that Whitaker is not a reliable source. <<-armon->> 23:47, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Or that they are talking about different Gallup polls. I seriously doubt Whitaker simply made this comment up. csloat 00:35, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
