[edit] I think default sort is a mistake for Arabic names

I think default sort is a mistake for individuals with Arabic names.

People with Arabic names don't inherit a surname, like people with an European do. Traditionally the closest thing they have to a "last name" is their father's first name.

And it is absolutely clear to me that it is a mistake to use default sort for the Guantanamo captives -- because the US Department of Defense can't consistently figure out what their names are.

Therefore I just reverted an edit where a well-meaning contributor imposed default sort on this individual.

Please don't impose default sort on these guys without discussing it first.

[edit] MilHist B Class Assessment

I gave it a no on supporting info as the images are pretty generic images that are on the pages of every Gitmo detainee rather than anything specific to this person. I was going to do an info box for him, but with no image and very little information about his history, it would look sort of sad hanging out all empty. LegoTech·(t)·(c) 22:40, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
